Looking at #Emacs tutorials to possibly recommend to students, I’m sometimes amazed at the mentions of basic commands that I’ve never had a use for in 30 years of emacsing… Not that I don’t know them, but, well, I don’t need them.
Case in point: next-buffer and previous-buffer. For me, buffers don’t have an order, so they don’t make any sense to me.
Of course, different people have d…

Users of #Emacs #orgmode: I've added "my-org-block-interruption()" to my config. It was generated by Claude.
If invoked within a blog, it inserts # END_ # BEGIN_ lines that match the current block.
This way, I'm able to interrupt a QUOTE block to add some comments, a SRC block to…

Wow, I finally have a functional grammar check in #emacs that seems like what I've been looking for.

What is the correct action when #Emacs asks “Discard edits and reread from “path”?
It always makes me feel I'm losing data.

Noticed only today, since moving my #Emacs environment over to the new laptop last November, all my #OrgRoam 'dailies' are not orgroam files, they are basic #OrgMode files 🥹 C-c n d d does resolve to the right org-roam command, but these files contain only a # title and nothing else.
It was likely naive of me to expect my .emacs to be relocatable.
I don't suppose there's a function to mass-convert org-files to org-roam? Well, that's what keystroke macros are for, I suppose!
On a positive note, my #Firefox kiosk issue was solved by MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 which is odd since I'm running Wayland and it had worked fine since September until I added and then removed /etc/firefox/policies/policy.json

You are a vim/neovim user. You have a few plugins installed.
How do you remind yourself of those that you are not using on a regular basis?
I guess the question applies to any text editor or IDE.

So I had this idea, if I could make the #Emacs #OrgRoamUI accessible on the LAN, I could potentially navigate my notes from any device anywhere!
It was listed in the GitHub as a request, but the advice there didn't work, it only acted as a redirect to nowhere. I could change the url from localhost to the lan name, opened 8080 in ufw and then port-forwarded with
sudo socat TCP-LISTEN:8080,fork TCP:localhost:35901
And that let me see the UI, but only the controls, no nodes, no notes. Noting the websocket claiming port 35903, I removed :host (to use all interfaces) and opened ufw for LAN access to that port which all /seemed/ really logical, but …
I still see only the controls, no nodes or notes 😞
