Last night I ran a clean install of Pop!_OS 22.04 on the Linux partition. All seemed well, until I noticed that no Electron-based apps had titlebars. Also? Unless I’m in tiling mode, they’re all stacked in one unreachable, unresizable mass in the middle.

No screenshot, sorry. Had to get stuff done so I’m regrouping in the Windows partition. I’ll ponder what to do about it later. Might overlay the whole thing with Regolith Desktop until I get a better plan. Regretting that I replaced a perfectly functional Regolith 1.6 install for this.

Seeing if I set up ox-hugo auto-export correctly. Yep, though it didn’t apply until I reverted / reloaded this Org buffer.

SITE/.dir-locals.el looks like this:

Code Sample
    (("content-org/"
  . ((org-mode . ((eval . (org-hugo-auto-export-mode)))))))
  

Now ox-hugo exports the current subtree every time I save.

Code Sample
    Saving file /home/random/Sites/rgb-life/content/posts/2022/05/1652372242.md...
Wrote /home/random/Sites/rgb-life/content/posts/2022/05/1652372242.md
  

Okay cool. Anyways, back to work.

Promised I’d go to bed before 11pm. Oops. Okay but just getting this link to TideTypeScript Interactive Development Environment for Emacs — before I go brush my teeth.

Also? I need to fiddle with my capture template logic for these notes, so it exports the subtree when I file from wherever.

TypeScript, Emacs

Okay yeah I kinda see why my smart Emacs friends like Magit — even without any massive customization.

@jhelwig understandable! I’ve been puttering with my ox-hugo microblog pretty much daily, which means a tiny bit of Emacs muscle memory is actually sticking around.

With that tiny bit, Magit is suddenly real easy to use.

The kind of sneeze where your entire body just hurts for half a minute after.

So yay I’m getting better.

Slowly but surely streamlining that tumblelog flow, which also means I’m spending more time in Emacs. That’s just weird.

Anyways, checking out how share links work, for some near future ideas for serverless IndieWeb POSSE syndication.

Mastodon gets the summary info — though title needs more for shared context — but birbsite does not. Need to fuss with twitter card info later.
