Bwahahaha, I just plopped in with my 23k+-line Sacha.el tangled out of a 1.5 MB Org file...

Might be possible to get Elfeed and FreshRSS to sync up using https://github.com/fasheng/elfeed-protocol so that you can read in Emacs when you want to and use a mobile FreshRSS-compatible feed reader or the self-hosted FreshRSS web interface when you're on the go.

Now I'm curious too! I've added some notes to https://sachachua.com/blog/2021/01/a-list-of-sharks-that-are-obligate-ram-ventilators/ on bull sharks.

Thanks! Fixed the link to point to https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/qfrxgb/comment/hi6mfh7 and fixed my code for getting the link from an Org heading. =)

Re: Dipping my toes into the ETF waters

I still haven't converted my TD e-series mutual funds, but most of the new investments are in ETFs via Wealthsimple. So far so good. I've been able to resist the temptation to try to time the market. =)

Yeah, sorry, nonprogrammers tend to have to do things by hand. (Could be a good incentive to learn programming!) https://ask.metafilter.com/... suggests https://github.com/xlcnd/is... if you can figure out installing Python and a Python package, or maybe using the LibraryThing website and adding books one by one.

Oooh, I should definitely have some kind of custom Org link for info manuals that exports into both the Emacs Lisp form as well as a web reference.

You can comment by e-mail if you like, and you can let me know if you want me to post the comment publicly. =)

@Chris Overgaauw: Hmm, you seem to have some kind of antialiasing happening for your grey colours. On the Supernote, you can control this by clicking on the three-dot menu, choosing Preferences, and then setting Handwriting Antialiasing to off. Does that help?

Oooh, that's an even nicer trick. I've updated it to filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg) brightness(150%) contrast(0.9); -- boosting the brightness slightly so that the highlighter is easier to see. Thanks for sharing that tip!

Hah, I've been defining my custom links with vanilla Org so that they're theoretically easier for other people to pick up or use the idea for something else. I do use org-special-block-extras for the custom blocks, though.

If you happen to manage your blog queue in Org Mode, it might be easy to use that as the starting point for your post. Then you don't even have to copy the link anywhere - you just write your post around it, using C-c C-l to change the description of the link as you like. :)

Re: Updating Builtin Packages

sachac — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 18:45:11 -0000

No worries, happens to me too! I wonder if it's the sort of thing you can easily catch with some kind of pre-publishing hook...
