I haven't used it in months and don't expect to use it much in future either.
Often its subtitle sync was worse than original and in general it wasn't a good
tool for my needs.
Before Emacs was launching full GUI instance for simple $EDITOR invocations.
Terminal Emacs is good enough, and I don't need full GUI for quick editing of
git messages and whatnot, so use TUI emacs for this use-case
I have taken liking to some variants of FiraCode fonts as they are bit less
crowded than Roboto Mono and have just a little ol' typewriter personality.
Its an experiment, we'll see where it goes.
For some reason, couple of months ago, plasma5 and SDDM broke dpi on X11 session
and they started looking blown up. Everything still rendered at 1080p, but dpi
was set to too high automatically apparently.
While that finally pushed me to Wayland (and it seems to be where I'll be
settling), SDDM where I first interact with UI still looked ugly and immature
with blown up proportions. So its nice to get this fixed.
I'm assuming this will only work for Laptop display as dpi is now hard-coded for
96 and will look tiny on 4K monitor, but oh well. I don't plug in my monitor to
display too often anyway.
These were added to provide graphing support for org-roam
(and then were used with Land of Lisp book)
But, my Lisp learning is on hold for now, and I've never really used the graph
feature of prg-roam beyond initial novelty. It makes sense to simply remove
these applications from the system
These are snippets for shell. They expand to their target with SPC or
ENTER. For behavior, they're kinda like aliases, and I'm not used to
seeing them expand at will.
If they prove more trouble than worth, I'll remove them, until then, I
can keep'em
PipeWire is new Linux audio and video streams.
Previously I used PulseAudio, and while it worked, it was less than
perfect. Pulse used bit much processing, and in general had few bugs.
Pipewire is supposed to be lighter, more stable, and it can use high
quality codec for bluetooth.
I took this opportunity to move sound-related config to its separate
module (sound.nix). This is a beginning to nicely move inpendent config
sections to their own modules. Sound config has pretty much zero
relations with rest of the config, so it made sense to move it in
separate file. Perhaps I can do the same with other stuff, maybe some services.
5 min is default value, and my PC is not always on to make this a big
issue.
15 min cuts a little too steep with up to 30 min possible delay between
replies, by which time I've already forgot about the context. Hopefully
5 min will be enough without getting too distracting.
Emacs daemon had some interesting problems, mostly related to not being
ablt to cleanly and easily restart the service. It also had issues
accessing desktop file.
Standalone Emacs starts fairly quickly, and its not much issue to open
new window connected to same emacs instance now, so daemon config is no
longer needed. It was disabled since a while, but can be removed
completely now.
Default EDITOR variable is also now set to launch new instnace of emacs.
I am not pursuing Common Lisp anymore, in no small part due to there
being little to no integration with NixOS. I realise this is more on
NixOS than CL, but I'm not up for struggling with my OS AND Language AND
tooling.
Microsoft's python-language-server was getting stack overfllow on
invocation so basically useless.
python-lsp-server (originally by Palantir and now maintained by Spyder
IDE team and community) worked and without any major config.
Initial setup to email from within emacs.
That required setting up above stuff, detailed below:
mbsync : sync maildir with email host/provider (gmail)
mu : index and search maildir
msmtp : send mail
All of the above have good module under home-manager, making it *relatively*
straightforward to set the whole thing up.
