Org-files are great and have some great features, but there are advantages to micro-files, too Discussion on reddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/13khozp/orgmode_megafiles_or_many_individual_files/ I am beginning to think that this question is more than just taste; there are actual technical consequences here. The question is, should I switch my journal, blog, and/or note-taking method away from big master files with lots of entries to individual files per entry? I am in the process of switching my passwords from a big GPG-encrypted org-file to using the linux password facility1, and I have just discovered denote2, which likewise leverages the system naming/file-searching facilities to organize a knowledge-base in an emacs-agnostic manner.

embark-org.el file missing This issue is a repeat1 of an old, closed one. because I cannot re-open that issue. I have tried the fixes mentioned there and more, but to no avail. What’s wrong when straight builds the embark package, it omits the embark-org.el file which is present in its embark repository directory. This results in blocking errors as I have things that depend upon functions from embark-org. Directions to reproduce (use-package embark)

Intro prelim: this is a following my css-in-cljs method from my garden css has ascended, which was exceptionally good for the first draft/version of the project but eventually should cede to normal CSS once you are ready for hardening the product. The goal here is to remove all the per-html CSS rules that were so perfect for Dev with a single CSS file that can be called from all the html files in the project and is both far more efficient file-size wise, and the Right Way™ to do it for caching and synchronization.

Example Problem: layout.css.devPixelsPerPx I somehow had the idea that things in about:config were also configurable via the userChrome.css. Is this true? Is it true, for example, with layout.css.devPixelsPerPx? If so, what is the equivalent CSS selector? Also, will changes to the css file over-rule changes in about:config, or vice versa? Answer: not much overlap From It_Was_The_Other_Guy1, it appears that there is rare overlay between the userChrome.css and the settings in about:config.

webxdc: at least 200 times more interesting than Web3 :) The original is a github blob1, so I’m reproducing it here for longevity sake. The original is by Holger Krekel2. Full Text: webxdc: at least 200 times more interesting than Web3 :) webxdc combines secure chat-messaging and web tech to provide fertile ground for a decentralized secure web app eco-system without servers, coins or chains. How webxdc works webxdc apps use existing chat groups (instead of web servers) to communicate with each other, with roughly this initial technical work flow:

Intro Due to the nature of my work, I operate in a variety of environments, databases, and languages. Emacs is very good for this. As an example of this, I just found myself needing to verify if an update had worked on the PostGres database of a remote server. First I logged in to the server with better-shell-remote-open1, and then I sudoed and changed to the postgres user, then I quickly fired up my bookmarked myPostgres.

Intro I am writing a wrapper that executes sudo anyconnect. I am then asked for a sudo password, then asked for the password that goes with my anycnonnect destination. Doing this repeatedly, especially where it might not ask the sudo password again because you are already logged in to SUDO for this session, it can be confusing which password it really wants. The answer1 can be installed in your .bashrc:

** Edit 2023.001.17: fixed syntax errors CLI command in /usr/bin and username > user This is an update of a previous Babashka1 project2, changed because my organization has switched to a Palo Alto GlobalProtect VPN instead of our former Cisco one. Originally this posed a major problem for OpenConnect, which had troubles with GlobalProtect, but with wersion 9+ of OpenConnect it works smoothly (as long as your provider doesn’t require SAML authentication, which is apparently still buggy in OpenConnect 9).

Intro I use several three-monitor setups and one of the setups has a large TV-size screen as the monitor. I typically put my browser instances over there and need to shrink them to a more zoomed-out level to make websites usable at that size. The answer was to change the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx in the about:config1. I changed mine to 0.8, which was equal to about the 80% zoom level which works for me.
