Looking at the amount of work some folks go to setting up Obsidian or Notion and TBH it’s comparable to the work done tweaking that perfect Emacs Org setup.

“Pretty” is a lot easier though.

@nixfreak Sure! Current config at http://randomgeekery.org/config/emacs/nano/

Keep in mind that Emacs isn’t my main editor, so there’s a lot of fumbling.

@nixfreak Oh it wasn’t too bad. I copied from nano-theme-light.el and adjusted for some reasonable Spaceduck colors.

Fell asleep around 1am. Loud Dog whined me out of bed at 5:30.

There will not be enough coffee today.

Having more fun with org-roam-ui. Grabbed some recent notes from other PKMs to fill in the graph a little.

Lots of fun fiddly settings. Oh and Org headings show as nodes, so I get some of that hierarchical structure I like in Dendron’s graph.

Doing an electrical safety course and one section has pictures of all the things to avoid and I’m wondering how they snuck into my house for the photos.

You ever take a nap and then get up and your brain feels like maybe you were sleeping on an exposed power cord or something?

uh yeah no me neither

Mental hook because they’re why uninformed USian me learned to recognize that Ukraine is not Russia.

@nixfreak nano-emacs is a wildly different experience from Doom. Minimalist aesthetic, no additional libs needed, close to baseline Emacs functionality.

What I’ve done with it — well. It’s a learning experiment.

@nixfreak If you’re curious, the core config for this nano-based setup is presented on my site. Updating roughly daily, as I apply changes.

I wrote a note:

Added an Emacs config based off of nano-emacs

@y0x3y it’s not even my main. But Emacs is so fun to mess with!

need to work on the tag munging component of my syndicator

hackers.town: 2022-02-20 Sun 12:36

Successfully did a thing. Time for food.

Lighting close enough we don’t even finish the “one” in “one Mississippi” before the thunder rolls.

Wait hang on I actually got a sort of spaceduck theme working with nano-emacs?

(that’s Doom Emacs with fairyfloss theme on the left)

Gonna need to update my site org-config.

Screenshot of two Emacs windows, one a light purple background and the other a dark purple background.

I tell you what though. Trying to get MyPy, language servers, and everything else playing nice with a Python project is a pretty rough contrast to TypeScript.

@cstanhope I hoped some other folks might enjoy that ^_^

Spent like an hour futzing with a Rich formatter for Prospector’s linting report and then realized rich.print(output) ticked all the boxes I need.

“Code smell” makes no sense to me (it all smells like a computer monitor from what I can tell) but I use “this makes me itchy” freely and with pretty much the same intent.

My allergies and stress responses are stronger than my sense of smell, so I guess it makes sense?

Yeah I’ve been playing Solitaire+ a little bit.
