  1. @marlinz008 #PIM ist sogar auch eine etablierte wissenschaftliche Disziplin. War da ein paar Jahre auch akademisch unterwegs. Ist also nicht von mir, der Begriff - aber danke. 😉

    Dir fehlt diese (IMO eher unnötige) #Visualisierung? Naja, warum dann nicht mit codeberg.org/publicvoit/orghea machen? Du nutzt Orgdown - da kann man sowas easy "nachrüsten".

  3. ich hab bei meiner Recherche für mein #PIM (ist der Name eigentlich standard gewesen oder hatte Karl den entwickelt?)

    #Obsidian angesehen und mich bewusst für #emacs und #orgmode entschieden

    aber, mein #adhs Gehirn macht gerade nicht mit, weil Obsidian ja diese tolle Vernetzung Chart hat, die ist so toll, das brauchst du unbedingt ja wirklich

    nein, Hirn, brauche ich nicht. Doch Doch

  5. @itskamrankhan In a free/libre and extremely capable software called #orgmode whose limits are only bound by the limits of your imagination. (1)

    Through #FOSS and (in contrast to #Markdown (3)) well designed and easily re-used clear text data format #orgdown (2, 5), I do have many possibilities to generate input for it and re-use output in other tools. Orgdown is recognized without any manual conversion in lots of tools (4).

    Let me cite Dominik's tenth rule: Any sufficiently complicated #PIM or note-taking program contains an ad hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Org mode.

  7. Every few years I appear to create a small emacs package. This time, motivated by working with my Jekyll files I wrote a sidebar for navigating sets of markdown and org files.

  9. So I'm working on an #OrgMode document that's probably about 2/3 #emacs #lisp code. I'm planning on releasing it shortly, but I'm not sure what to do about the licensing. Normally I use the #AGPL for my code, but since this isn't strictly code, I'm wondering if some version of the #CreativeCommons license might be a better fit. Do they have a #copyleft variant?

  11. The #nerd #high has produced another result! A result that barely clears the hurdles for its intended purpose, but a result nonetheless.

    codeberg.org/tnalpgge/org-haml

    It has been quite a journey peeling this metaphorical onion. I'd like to think that I learned something about #Emacs #Lisp and #OrgMode along the way.

    No test suite so it may decide to do something weird if a mosquito sneezes on the other side of the planet.

    Yes, I tried Org export. No, it did not seem well suited to the Cabrillo portion of the task. But reading the #hamradio transceiver was almost trivial with #Hamlib.

    I may try to take this for a spin on a casual #AmateurRadio #portable operation. We shall see.

  13. @christof I prefer creating my „slides“ using #orgmode within #Emacs and presenting with e.g. org-present. No fancy animations, close to content - easy when one already lives in Emacs

  15. Other than org-mode – is there another interactivity and productivity focused plain-text markup language that allows me to magically enrich my marked-up notes with interactive elements, automation and such for the CLI/TUI?

    Like, most simple markup languages for text (e. g. Markdown) concern themselves with structuring and styling, which is great. Headlines, bold, italics, lists, all that.

    And then of course there are myriads of more complex markup languages (e. g. HTML) that are meant to be parsed by a program to provide functionality to the elements you marked up in the text.

    The latter is pretty much what I'm looking for; but HTML specifically isn't it, because it's focused on online hypertext documents, and has surprisingly little interactive elements without scripting, much less in the command line/TUI.

    I am basically looking for a markup language that is suitable for all kinds of text files I might write on my computer – to-do lists, idea collections, quick notes, structured articles, fiction stories etc. – that comes with a parser/reader/interpreter of sorts that not only adds visible style and structure, but actually makes my marked up elements as interactive, semantic and 'smart' as possible.

    Like selectable datetimes, automatic time zone conversion, parsing URLs, interactive checkboxes, to-do entries that can be ticked off and/or archived, proper tables, metadata like title and author, and so on.

    I want a semantic-as-fuck markup language.

    I feel like org-mode is nearly alone in that niche. It would be almost perfect but I don't use emacs, I don't like how it controls, and outside of the emacs community, there is therefore little support for org-mode, interpreter application-wise.

    [Not looking for advice on how to use org-mode or why I should totally give it a chance with tool neofoobar or whatnot, I'm only looking for alternatives. :P]

  17. The #orgmode configuration file works as a charm. Now I have a web socket server that can send these keypad layouts defined there, to its companion app on my phone. So I have a kind of 4x8 keys stream deck on my phone and can remote control my computer.

    Next step is to integrate d-bus because of course #emacs can send major-mode change events to the d-bus - and my SpaceCadet Deck will automatically change its layout according to this event.

    1. Org Mode structure is just perfect for LLM usage: No extraction steps needed, PIM approach delivers all context information in one big *.org file
    2. Org Mode structure and agenda is just perfect to manage professional and private projects without the need for LLM

  19. So, I think I might be a nerd.

    @SDF is running a BBS called bitzone. On this BBS they have a door game called LORD (League of the Rare Dragoon (not to be confused with Legend of the Red Dragon, of which it is clearly a knock-off)).

    The fact that I'm playing this game in the first place is kind of nerdy, but wait, there's more.

    In said game you have a character with various stats. One of these stats is "charm", which seems to get you discounts in the shops. Unfortunately, there's nothing to say exactly how this relationship works. So I've decided to try to reverse-engineer it with #emacs #org-mode.

    I've created a table to track my purchases. It tracks my charm at the time of purchase, the list price for the item, and the price I actually paid. There's also an additional colum that calculates the actual discount, but that's trivial.

    Anyhoot, I'm adding some code to this file that reads the values in the table and computes the simplest polynomial function that satisfies the equation:
    $$price_{actual}=f(charm,price_{list})$$

    This is done with the aim of predicting how much I'd actually spend on an item before actually buying it. It of course assumes that the equation being used is a polynomial equation, but I'm hoping it'll at least be able to approximate with a large enough set of data points.

    Am I doing this because it's reasonable?

    No.

    I'm doing it because it's an interesting challenge... and I'm a nerd.

  20. Im writing a Websocket service that has to send a keyboard layout. Instead of a separate Programm to maintain that layout, I think I will have the config file in #orgmode, where i can simply draw tha layout.

    Duplicate a layout simply with cut and paste. Move keys around with cursor keys in #emacs
