Webrender graphic backend (GPU-accelerated Emacs) 😍 https://github.com/remacs/remacs/pull/1581
- I need to see if that changes anything to the different terminal emulators (ansi/eshell/term) when they quickly need to output big chunks of text!

Firefox 70 ❤️ So many fullscreen rendering issues solved!

#orgmode + #syncthing + Orgzly is truly a sweet combo!

A big thank to the maintainers and contributors of those three projects!

An ubuntu box upgraded from trusty to bionic, plus syncthing setup to sync my org-mode agenda between my laptop and my mobile (Orgzly).

Due to the upgrade, I've lost ejabberd/Jitsi and the VPN. 😩

Also yesterday, I've upgraded a debian Jessie (8) that I've put on my oldest macbook pro in 2015 to the latest version Buster (10). Result: a very smooth upgrade.

Today I spent way too long fixing an issue with my OS not booting. An interesting reminder of the trade off you get by choosing Linux over OSX.

I fixed the issue using a bootable manjaro usb stick and chrooting my failing encrypted partition. I'm actually not sure that I would have gotten that far with OSX as I don't have the same knowledge for that OS, even using it for about 8 years.

Not my first time doing it but It was good this time to see that the process got a bit less painful.

Using #Orgmode and org-agenda for prospecting clients has been quite fun for me.

The workflow:
Each client has a "rich" org file where I set reminders and todo actions. Then, when after a call, my only rule is to set a todo action so that I'm forced to come back to the file at some point.
Files are regularly and automatically commited to a git repo (just in case).

I haven't yet found a great way to sync Orgly with the files. Tried pcloud, but the syncing is not that great. To be continued!

@NicolasPetton Salut Nicolas, j'ai fait un tour sur ton blog emacs-café. Utilises-tu encore ledger pour gérer tes finances?
Si oui, quel est ton secret pour rester assidu? 😁

@julienxx@mastodon.sdf.org It feels like the Michael Jackson debate, or perhaps Reiser4. Should we consider the work and the author as separate? Especially in OSS, where more than one person contribute to a project.

I will definitely consider replacing dmenu with rofi on my end, as it costs nothing.

Thanks for the heads-up ;)

Big difference between i3wm and xmonad: i3 is tree based, when xmonad is list based.

And now, I really wished xmonad was tree-based because configuring it in an actual programming language is really Awesome (pun intended)!

Well... the default Xmonad is rather... disturbingly blank! What did I expect 😅

Today I needed some currying in Elixir. I'm officially ready to try out Xmonad and deep dive into Haskell for great good.

A BSD then?
What issues did you get with systemd?

Once more at a decisive moment of my life where I have to pick between diving in the liberating madness of self-employment or the mentally unhealthy comfort of employment. 😩

Maybe I need a part-time to not loosing it all. Perhaps I'm not ready to take on too much. Yet I aspire to be "free" as much as I can.

La semaine dernière, je découvre ces "agroponicos" cubains. Des agriculateurs urbains, qui profitent de petites parcelles soit en appartement, soit de parcelles prêtées par l'état en ville:

La période "especial" a vraiment mis en avant le bon sens et la créativité des cubains pour s'adapter à des ressources extérieures limitées.

Belle découverte du jour:
