  1. What brought you to #Emacs?

    @myTerminal I was using Tmux, Vim, Bash, AWK, and FZF, and I kept trying to write scripts for all of these programs that would allow me more coordination between them. For example, I once wanted to launch a process from Vim in a second terminal in a Tmux split-screen, capture it’s output into a temporary file, then when the process exited, use AWK to select symbols from the file that I could later feed into FZF. Or I would write a little wrapper Bash script that would run a build process and send a notification and trigger Tmux to automatically switch to the shell when the process completed.

    I was always thinking to myself how I wished all of these separate tools, which were all doing one just thing and doing it well (the Unix philosophy), could be connected together without needing to use pipes or complicated message passing through temporary files or through DBus. And I also wished they were all written in the same programming language, instead of having a different language for Bash, AWK, VimScript, and the config languages for Tmux, or using long chains of CLI options stored into partial script files.

    Then it hit me one day that this thing that I was wishing for, which coordinated between the terminal multiplexer, command shell, editor, and auto-completion framework and was all scripted with just one programming language, this thing already existed and it was called Emacs.

    Then I finally understood what all the fuss was about, and switched to Emacs forever.

  2. And, that isn't all, as it also opens up potential to replace with modern options like or , at least for my machines.

  3. I realized never worked for me because I maintained my /boot inside an encrypted volume alongside /, /home, etc.

  4. This week has been full of major improvements to my setup across my . I now have:
    1. Significantly faster boot times due to quicker decryption by separating out and into separate volumes.
    2. Upgrade from to (while most of the rest of my setup)
    3. Better visuals for LUKS passphrase prompts using (finally)

    I couldn't have asked for more improvements in barely two days.

  5. This week has been full of major improvements to my #Linux setup across my #ThinkPads. I now have:
    1. Significantly faster boot times due to quicker #LUKS decryption by separating out #boot and #EFI into separate volumes.

  10. @DevWouter I just revisited the website and saw a lifetime license. I do understand that the workflow with is pretty interactive in a way that one would need a larger workspace to be able to use it effectively, but by any chance, do you have plans for a mobile app? In case you do, and would need more brains/fingers/eyes, I can hook you up with a few experts who can help you move faster.

  11. @virtuous_sloth My setup involves a fairly over complex graph on , but I'd rather keep web bookmarks on . Flat lists don't work for me, especially once they grow tall such that I'm not able to see all the items at once.

  12. @kaosk @killyourfm I do not know, but it somehow reminds me of , which had one of my close circles convinced and we had to deal with difficult-to-use clients that were an overkill for merely sharing text messages, a few pictures here and there.

  13. I accidentally started on an machine, and it ran, that too without the `--unsupported-gpu` flag. Now, when did that happen?

  14. I was told that the was slow, and then I drove a , after which I now find the former much quicker.

  15. @DevWouter My ever-growing setup is super complex with nested lists, tags, filters, and I'm pretty much at the edge of outgrowing #TickTick, as I did with #RememberTheMilk a year or so ago. It will be interesting to visualize my tasks in two dimensions instead of just a one-dimensional list.
