  1. Okay, my first #Emacs package is officially released. It was strongly inspired by @sorobanexam's work, providing practice tools for the #soroban. This is the first Emacs package I've ever released. It's probably not perfect, but I welcome feedback on how it can be improved.

    I wonder if there is an overlap of more than say five people who are both soroban and emacs users. 🙃

    Anyhow, it can be found at: codeberg.org/jlamothe/soroban

    Today I most materially followed some of jlamothe's helpful moomails.

    I had to rejig my exits for suitability.

  6. Does anyone know if there's a way for a web app to use a Mastodon account as a user authentication method, the same way you can use a Google or Facebook account? Being a decentralized service, is that a thing that could actually work? Bonus points of there's a package already in existence.

  12. Just finished upgrading #Debian to #trixie on 1 of 3 of my machines. Only one thing broke, and fixing it is a low priority.

    That said, I did this machine first because I expected it to be the easiest to upgrade and the least of a problem if it broke.

  22. I've been using #Emacs's #Gnus for news/mail/RSS, but for whatever reason it's having trouble subscribing to ATOM feeds (RSS is fine). I seem to be missing the nnatom backend. Is there something special I need to do to add it?

  23. Just spent almost an hour on the phone with #Primus (my ISP) trying to get them to honour the original deal I had with them.

    Long story short: my bill's still going up, but now it's only $2.

    Not a deal I would consider fair, but the extra $2 isn't worth my sanity.

  24. CW: elisp help

    Okay, so I wrote this hacky nonsense in my ~/.emacs.d/init.el, but it doesn't seem to be having any effect. The function in question seems completely unaffected.

    Perhaps this code is being evaluated before the original function is defined?

    ;; Mail hack
    (defvar jrl-mail-hack nil
      "Flag to prevent from overloading the function a second time")
    (let ((oldfunc (symbol-function 'message-unique-id)))
      (unless jrl-mail-hack
        (defun message-unique-id ()
          (secure-hash 'sha256 (funcall oldfunc)))
        (setq jrl-mail-hack t)))

    The idea is to hash the Message-ID header in outgoing mail because Gmail seems to have decided the original format looks like spam.

  25. CW: elisp help

    Okay, I need to do a hacky #elisp thing. Yes, I know it's terrible.

    Basically, I have an existing defun. Let's call it foo. I need to replace it with a new function that calls the old one and transforms its output before returning it.

    I naïvely assumed I could do it like this:

    (let ((oldfunc (function foo)))
      (defun foo ()
        (my-transform (funcall oldfunc))))

    ...but this doesn't actually copy the old function, just a reference to the symbol, so it ends up locking itself in a recursive loop.

    I'm sure there's a way to do this.
    #AskFedi

    Edit: Got it. It's:

    (let ((oldfunc (symbol-function 'foo)))
      (defun foo ()
        (my-transform (funcall oldfunc))))

    Edit 2: It turns out there's a cleaner way still.
    See: aus.social/@carlozancanaro/116…

    Also, there's still something Gmail isn't liking. Looking at the differences in the headers between emacs and my other clients (whose mail does get through), the next most obvious difference is that the Content-Type header doesn't specify an encoding. Whether this is the actual problem or not, I should probably fix that. I'm just working on how.
