What's #Emacs? Wrong answers only.

people that use Hugo, and ideally Sourcehut builds for their website, how can I go about setting up a mailing list for my blog with the lists.sr.ht service? i understand that people (@ploum) have used python and SMTP to set this up but is there a simpler way to go about it?

From @jtr's lovely post:

"Journalley blows this mental challenge away. It invites me to take notes and just notes. It’s the opposite of a chore. “Go ahead,” it winks at me, “spill the beans. Snap some pictures. We’ll work on the details later.” Suddenly, I’m free to let my mind go."

Avui estava liat en una reunió pesadíssima en que s'estava discutint no sé quines mandangues de programes de gestió i per fer diagrames.

El que ha passat us sorprendrà: he pensat que #emacs segur que podria ser útil per aquí... I efectivament!

Mireu quina genialitat de paquet, que permet afegir i dibuixar esquemàtics svg fàcilment en els ja universals fitxers #org-mode

First week with Journelly: https://taonaw.com/2025/04/09/ive-been-testing-out-journelly.html

#irreal and @bbatsov about #Emacs startup time: https://irreal.org/blog/?p=12903

I, too, am totally convinced that it really doesn't matter if it is one or sixty seconds.

However, if your bootup time is much longer than mine (15-30s once a week) then you most probably have room for improvement (if you want). Consistent use of #usepackage with dependencies and "defer" did help on my side.

My config has 7724 lines of #elisp (19851 including #orgmode comments): https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org

@eludom This is my first #EmacsBankruptcy declaration! Mildly stressful (before I started) but somehow liberating. The new configuration has an order of magnitude less lines of code; it is comprehensible and almost logical. We'll see how long it remains so but, if my track record is anything to go by, it should outlive me.

`M-x exit-emacs`? What does that do?

a stupid thing that happens with emacs on macos for me in that while typing I will click something which will try to zoom into the buffer at like 100x magnification and that will cause emacs to hang

can't login to @howto from #emacs Nginx csp ?

Just published a bugfix update for website2org, my package/hacks to turn any website into a minimal #orgmode buffer or .org file (for archival + as a read-later service alternative + for Elfeed full article view).

just installed fish-completion[1] for emacs. works great, and makes eshell awesome

I've been using the new complete-preview-mode instead of my usual corfu for completions for a few days now and i think i actually quite like it. i haven't even added any additional configuration for it yet, it works pretty fucking great out of the box!

but, i realise it's time i sat and worked out some basic config for it and found a way to make it work such that matching curly braces in Hugo templates (in HTML+ mode) work properly, atleast so that it doesn't add unnecessarily redundant closing braces. i still need to figure out how to make paired braces (and all the other paired symbols) work too. not sure these are mutually exclusive.

I've not really found time off-late to work out these things so i guess what I'm asking for is help, lol. my literate config is available on my website and my Sourcehut and any suggestions or fixes for these, you can either send an email to my mailing list at ~peregrinator/emacs@lists.sr.ht or mention me here

Dear colleagues,

I’d like to apply for a sabbatical. My #Emacs configuration has grown organically over 20 years. Needless to say, it’s a total mess. In my sabbatical, I plan to switch to the latest and hippest configuration system. I know this is an ambitious high-risk-no-reward project, but I’m confident that it can be completed in 6 months

Thanks for your understanding and support.

Happy 10th coffee.el, the San Francisco Bay Area Emacs meetup! Tremendous thanks and gratitude to @jaafar for keeping the lights on!
