TIL that version appears to be on the AUR: MicroEMACS/PK 4.0.15 customized by Linus Torvalds.

Last updated in 2014, it probably has serious cobwebs now. Even the upstream hasn’t been touched in 6 years.

Had no idea about this. Very useful, thanks!

I second this, as it’s my use case.

Providing you lay out each note correctly with appropriate frontmatter, Dataview’s DQL and DataviewJS give you all the SQL-like functionality you could want.

Plus a load of useful functionality beyond a plain DB.

Our fault for not being born into rich families, I guess? :\

Great advice. For me, it’s the irreplaceable data first, and then stuff like configs and credentials/keys.

My borg-backup (to my NAS) config is “My Documents” type files, /etc stuff I’m likely to customise, and home stuff except the stuff like “*Cache”, “*Storage”, assets/icons/history/recent/blah. It’s tedious to fine-tune, but I figure too much is infinitely better than too little.

If I want to be able to do an image-based restore, then I’d use a different tool. But life’s too short for that.

I think this really is the best solution to news sites.

I self-host FreshRSS, make good use of its filters, and I can chew through headlines and articles in no time using the web view on a PC or mobile web.

SLS (Soft Landing System) then Slackware. 30+ years and still enjoying the Linux ride…

Thank you. My laptop is EndeavourOS+KDE6 - which is solid - and I’ve spent today preparing to nuke my gaming desktop PC (Ubuntu and an Nvidia RTX card) to rebuild it with Endeavour tomorrow, and the only doubt I had was Wayland and Nvidia with Lutris/Heroic/Proton gaming.

high cpu usage by just moving the mouse.

This sounds like co-operative multi-tasking on a single CPU. I remember this with Windows 3.1x around 30 years ago, where the faster you moved your mouse, the more impact it would have on anything else you were running. That text scrolling too fast? Wiggle the mouse to slow it down (etc, etc).

I thought we’d permanently moved on with pre-emptive multi-tasking, multi-threading and multiple cores… 🤦🏼‍♂️

My Endeavour laptop got it today. Couple of tweaks and it was running perfectly.

Funny you mention desktop: I’ve been waiting for Plasma 6 before rebuilding my Ubuntu desktop with Endeavour. Didn’t want to jump the gun, find out that it impacts gaming performance, and then have to rebuild back again. :) Guess I have a desktop to rebuild now…

On your zsh query, check out Powerlevel 10K (p10k) and the fonts it recommends. It’s a suite/config package that makes zsh amazing.

For those unaware, your thesis concept is also known as BLUF: Bottom-Line Up Front. Take a moment after you’ve finished your masterpiece to summarise it at the top in one sentence, or two at most.

A tl;dr at the end of a post also works, but only for those who think to check for it. But either option works.
