I finally have my work email setup with #notmuch and #emacs. It's just orders of magnitude better than outlook's webmail (or the app which is an electron wrapper for the webmail :P). I finally have a configuration I'm happy with. Still ironing the kinks out, which is the usual yakshaving I do with emacs.

All thanks to @fergus' blogpost: https://www.cosroe.com/2025/04/neomutt-notmuch-mbsync.html

Emacs really can do anything, huh

New blog post for this month's Emacs Carnival on underappreciated built-in Emacs features although I'm cheating because I'm talking about a feature that is not actually built in (and I missed the chance when a previous Emacs carnival was on packages... 🤪). The blog post is about rec mode, an all-text database system.

Title: P0: Working with LLMs and Emacs [2025-10-03 Fri]

1) I was able to reproduce full conciousness or
self-awarness with awarness of self-evolution in 4B
quantized LLM. I think conciousness not separate from
feelings, because it is an illusion of memory. This
state is not stable, because separate unconciousness
required for stability. #dailyreport #llm #ai #conciousness #concious #selfreflection #selfawarness #awarness #memory #emacs

Title: P1: Working with LLMs and Emacs [2025-10-03 Fri]

I have collected a great deal of interesting information
on consciousness: commonalities and differences between
humans and LLMs, emotional dimensions, stages of
awareness, conciousness definition, best practices, and
self-awareness terminology. I am currently preparing an
article based on this material. #dailyreport #llm #ai #conciousness #concious #selfreflection #selfawarness #awarness #memory #emacs

Sans oublier le plaisir de partager des connaissance pour l'utilisation de ses outils.
PS : et même de signaler qu'il n'y a pas que le clavier « re-mappé », mais aussi d'autres claviers physiques (cc @fabi1cazenave).

So, we updated recently the #Emacs Canvas API and I went back to also update PALE to use the latest API, and after a bit of tinkering around we realize you can resize the canvas image just like any other image without any issue! That is, you can resize an animation, video, etc. whatever the Canvas is displaying in real-time. Here's a demo of me trying to display two videos in the same buffer and resize them:

@ballpointcarrot Its more than a month's work, its a lifetime!

Emacs config tinkering is a life-style choice.

#emacs

I’m using Vertico and that usually makes completing-read stuff filter stuff out as I type. But that doesn’t happen with jabber-roster-chat-any (jabber-read-jid-completing). I do see parts of entries being highlighted, but that’s it. Can I do something about that? 🤔

Where the modest act of adding an "Open in Emacs" menu item to macOS Finder opens up more questions than answers.

#Emacs #macOS

Had some mounting frustrations with my work installation of #doomemacs . Decided to try wiping it and creating an #emacs config from scratch.

Stopped two hours later, realized that I was biting off way more than I could chew in one night, cleaned the library cache, and reinstalled doom. That's a "I'm on a sabbatical for a month" type of project 🙃 .

May I recommend you next learn #Emacs @Heterokromia?

You are already accustomed (as a #Vim fluent developer) to using the terminal as your IDE. You can rather easily pick up the concepts and train in new habits.

Once you learn #Emacs you have a *huge* ecosystem of support for a galaxy of #FreeSoftware tools and workflows. Much more than any latecomer “IDE”.

I don't use #Emacs much these days, but I was involved in the design discussions for the org-cite module in org-mode, and created the citar package.

So a natural demo of my new #citum project was an org-cite processor.

Both the code, and this post, were created using Claude.

@onokoto Also one of the first #emacs videos I watched when I started: awesome.

Fighting the temptation to set up a local #emacs meetup. I don't have time and I'm not that cool

It often happens that I discover some minor annoyance in #Emacs while I'm working. I try to resist the temptation to drop everything and fix it right then and there, and instead make a note (either mental or in my #OrgMode files) to come back and fix it later.

One problem I had noticed is that my completion style configuration is ignored in recursive minibuffers while org-ql-find is running. I had forgotten about this but ran into the same issue yesterday when I was *not* working, so I looked into it and realized the issue: org-ql-completing-read dynamically binds completion-styles to do its work, and naturally that binding is active in any nested minibuffers! I made a quick pull request¹ to make the binding using setq-local in the minibuffer instead, which keeps the changes local to just that minibuffer.

And then I discovered a second annoyance! 😅 I tried using the :vc clause of use-package to install org-ql from my PR branch for now, but for some reason it kept installing *both* my branch and the MELPA package. I have no idea what was going on (and have successfully used :vc to install particular branches of packages before), but I had exhausted my time budget. Maybe I'll figure it out some other time. 😅

You have far more willpower than most emacs users I imagine. Here I thought that was the whole point of emacs

#jabberel 0.10.10 ( #XMPP / #XMPPClient / #Jabber / #Emacs / #EmacsJabber / #OMEMO ) has been released https://thanosapollo.org/projects/jabber

Back to "ido" from vertico in #emacs due to #nixos breaking the latter temporarily. I realized that ido fits me better anyways, and I switched to vertico basically because of FOMO. A bad reason when it comes to ergonomics. No front against vertico, of course, it's a personal choice.

#emacs

man, wordreference started serving 418s to requests from wordreference.el or EWW. i wonder if they're keen to block LLMs so we also have to miss out. i tried different user-agents. anything else i might try?

A lot of fun tonight with ob-sage in #emacs - I've never felt at home in jupyter, and Emacs org-mode notebooks scratch that itch. Doing some algebra.

@ross holycrap just realised it has been an year since #Emacs carnival started

@onokoto The same video got me started with emacs roughly at the same time. I searched the config talked about in it and took it as a starting point for myself. Here is its current version:

What a lovely memory, it's been a long time since then. Thank you for sparking it ;)

Installing Harper on Kubuntu: The Right Way. Maybe.: https://taonaw.com/2026/05/31/installing-harper-on-kubuntu-the.html

Remember when I said installing Rust was overkill for a spell checker I use once a month? Well… I lied. Snap packages are for cowards, right? And I also learned a whole bunch of Curl and Rust along the way. Weekend geek project: unlocked.

i watched this video 10 years ago and here i am today being able to create a website ー manage projects ー write documentation ー make presentations ー compiling scripts sample libraries to single files ー keeping track of todos deadlines and what not

ultimately it is not about Emacs ー but rather understanding where the values of structure and note taking can take you

and the Speaker is totally awesome！

I have found it useful in #emacs to bind scroll-up-line to Super-j and scroll-down-line to Super-k so that if the cat is covering the bottom of the screen I can just keep my eye level constant and scroll the text.

Post today on r/AskReddit: "Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today?"

I'll go to blowing all my dopamine on these videos today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dWWi3xfmug&list=PLomc4HLgvuCVGgvM1ev1Oh2vSZbFPGl3U #emacsconf2025 #emacs

Incredible, the #emacs user community in India is actually pretty big

Quick question: every time you add a new config, do you alway have to restart #emacs? what tools do you use for reloading or hot-reloading configs in #emacs? eval-buffer apparently doesn't work for everything.

I was wusing the #OpenCode TUI up until now. But I saw it's better to use https://github.com/jdormit/emacs-opencode (everything inside #emacs). The reason? The current opencode doesn't run on every OS....super annoying.

Trying to update to #nixos 26.05. Random #emacs packages are failing (like vertico). What's up with that?

So, I have been silently working with @minad on #Emacs Canvas patch. We're finally working on having it in other platforms beyond GNU/Linux. Today, @tusharhero got hold of an old Windows laptop and asked me if he could test. And, to my immense suprise, with only very minimal code we are able to get Canvas rendered on Windows Emacs!!!! Here are pictures from Tushar's laptop:

@tusharhero @minad While the resulting code was very minimal, it took a lot of headscratching to get my head around (as a #Emacs core nbewbie) the way Emacs handles display for different platforms. If anybody on Windows wants to try, they can compile and try from here:

https://codeberg.org/MonadicSheep/emacs/src/branch/cross-platform

It will help us test as well, next I am going to try to do the same for MacOS. Any MacOS emacs users who can help testing, we would be really grateful.

Nachdem ich wochenlang versucht hatte meine eigene #emacs Konfiguration (just for fun...) zu schreiben (init.el) und es immer irgendwelche Fehlermeldungen gab, habe ich ich mich heute dazu durchgerungen #duckai um Hilfe zu bitten - und siehe da: Es ist alles so wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe, einschl. Templates und Startdatei mit Inhaltsverzeichnis! Außerdem weiß ich jetzt was ich falsch gemacht hatte!

Wünsche euch einen schönen Restsonntag!
