Private life? Sure. There was a regular community event called โ€œA week in the TTYโ€ over at nixers.net, where we spent a week only in text mode. It was easily doable.

There are some things where a graphical browser is pretty much mandatory these days. Online banking comes to mind. I *could* in theory physically go to the bank, but Iโ€™m way too lazy for that. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Netflix is more popular nowadays and I wouldnโ€™t want to miss that, either.

@prologic I read the help and it's a bit clearer now. Still a bit wonky. I will probably have it already forgotten by this evening. "Term" is exact match and "Match" adds some kind of unknown fuzziness on top.

The second bullet point can be addressed I reckon. It's purely a UI thing. Also, I'd add a short explanation for the search types next to them, so people don't have to look things up all the time through the help or even follow the links to the bleve documentation.

I like the magic detectionโ„ข. That's what people expect. At least I did.
Thanks, @prologic. It was taken near the dairy farm. Came down the hill in the forest on the right and tried my luck. It turned out the photo gods were in my favor. :-)
@bender I see, thanks for educating me. :-) At least you're interacting with native speakers a hell lot more than I do. I'm speaking English almost every day at work, but it's basically never anybody's mother tongue.

@prologic I remember when I first ran Yarn on *arrakis*, it was a mess. Remember I had to start it again from scratch? If I were to run Yarn today, I will have to ask you what -u to use, if I am going to run a web server on it (say, *Caddy*), and what to do to keep the huge cache Xuu and I like. LOL. Granted, I could figure it out myself after some trial and error too.

To make Yarn install easier? An installer script that would prompt for the settings, generate config, and install the *systemd*, because, whether we like it or not, the biggest Linux distros around use it.
@bender No worries! My version is very similar, but it doesn't rely on fork/exec out to the git binary.

@lyse mind it, English is my second language, though I have been using it since 1992, almost constantly.

"Next weekend", is the weekend after the one coming up. The one coming up is "this weekend", or simply "the weekend" (as in, "see you this weekend!" or "will mow the lawn on the weekend"). I don't like the perceived ambiguity of it, thus I strictly use dates ("lets get together on Saturday, 4 May 2024"). ๐Ÿ˜…

Thank you very much, @bender! I just linked the thumbnail to safe on people's bandwidths. I figured if someone wants to view the photos, they just go to the album anyways. If one has no interest, it's less invasive on them.

Picking the money shot is always tricky. Especially since I have been sorting through them for an hour or more. I try to keep at most 10%. And yes, I very often do hate myself for pressing the trigger so many times when I come home. So by then I'm kind of sick looking at them any more. :-D Sorry, I try harder next time. ;-)
@bender Damn, I got caught. :-D

Btw. how does it work in English? In German it's ambiguous which weekend one addresses when saying "next weekend". Is it the coming one this week or the one in the next week? Different people interpret it differently if it is not inherently obvious from the context, like when talking about dates. I also noticed that sometimes the same person even switches between meanings. I think I do, too. But I don't know why.

Maybe it depends on when one says it. I could be totally wrong here, but earlier in the week, like on Mondays and Tuesdays chances for "weekend in the same week" are higher than towards the weekend (Thursdays and Fridays), then it's more likely to refer to the weekend in the next week. And yes, the week of course starts on Monday. ;-)

Not sure if it changes with dialects. :-? I assume that doesn't play a big role and is the same for all German-speaking regions.

On the other hand, "this weekend" is very well defined as the upcoming weekend in this week. It's only the term "next weekend" that can be problematic.
@prologic Good question. Two things come straigt to mind, although, I'm not sure how low hanging they are. Probably not even remotely.

1. I don't know what these three search types mean: "Match", "Term" and "Query String". I could read the help page (I probably should), but they are sooo far off from my little brain that I can't even think of a possible explanation. My (possibly broken) intuition would categorize "Match" and "Term" to be the same. Zero idea what "Query String" is supposed to be. But then I think a search should be so easy to use to not having to read up on it in a manual. Admittedly, the basic search works alright.

2. When "Match" is the default, why is it not selected? Similarly, when it searches all fields by default, why is "_all" not selected? This technical spelling "_all" with the leading underscore also doesn't look pleasing to my eyes. It's been a hell lot of time that I looked at the code base, so I forgot everthing by now, but that should be easy to fix.

3. Okay, three things. :-D Apart from the search results taking up soo much space, it would really be nice if the markdown would be rendered. Yes, this is probably very tricky, as the matching search terms are highlighted. So I imagine both the highlighting and markdown rendering probably contradict each other. Also, how to go about matches that are part of markdown link URLs, image alternative texts and the like. Not easy at all.

I reckon that's certainly not what you had in mind or wanted to hear. :-( Sorry about that. I doubt it myself if this is any helpful feedback.

No promises, but I _try_ to toy around with the search more in the future. Maybe even look into the code base and see what I can do. The next weeks will be full of activities with the scouts, though. So don't expect something in the near future.
Is there something simpler, and leaner, than Gitea, which will allow me to see (as in read only) git repositories nicely on a web browser? Preferably a one-file-only solution, written in Golang.
