Almost thought I had a good way to move #org documents into #confluance from converting them into #html. They used to have a built in HTML renderer but I suppose they couldn't fix it on the cloud and disabled it. Too bad all the html rendering apps from the marketplace are priced WAY too high for what they offer. Guess I'll have to stick with exporting to #markdown for now.
This post on #emacs#org-roam resonates very well with me, to the point that I actually double checked that I didn't write it myself. I've been fortunate I suppose to not have problems with org-roam's database for several years now, and I think it does make some sense to go ahead and build around a proper database layer rather than beat around the bush. It's something of a rejection of YAGNI, but I think people often wear YAGNI blinders. https://edstrom.dev/wzvdr/2023-02-26
Screaming a question into the void regarding #emacs#org#orgmode, hoping that someone will see this:
I'd like to have the same left-margin for all my text. Headline bullets (and list bullets etc.) should be to the left of this margin. In CSS this would be list-style-position: outside;
Would anyone know how to modify the indentations of the headings to some negative value? Pointers much appreciated!
If you want to be notified of scheduled and deadlined tasks in Org mode, there is no better way than with org-yaap. It has zero dependencies other than Emacs 27.1 and it works great on Android with termux.
I've been using it for two years without issue. The documentation and options are superbly setup to fit most uses of Org:
"""
By default, you will be notified for all scheduled headings (org-yaap-include-scheduled') and headings with a deadline (org-yaap-include-deadline') within your agenda files. If a heading only includes the date, you will be notified at 9am on the day of the heading (org-yaap-daily-alert'). If you don't mark a heading as done, you will be repeatedly notified every 30 minutes after the heading was due (org-yaap-overdue-alerts').
"""
Since I'm spending like a quarter of my screen time with #emacs and since it bothers me to have to check my calendar with another app, I was looking for a way to view it /within/ emacs.
Checking for a package? Nuhuh, Jovian is too dumb for that. Better write my own script to convert my #iCal file to an #org one.
Bonus: I can share it, partially or not, with #OrgPublish
I’m thinking of having same #org files library on 2 computers - work and personal. I don’t want my work to have access to personal files but having one library looks laziest.
So I’m thinking of having my personal files encrypted via gpg key (private key will never reach the work computer). Is this the best way? Or is there some other best practices around it?
Over the past ten years or so, I experienced a gradual shift from (a frustrated) "to get the most out of free software, I'm going to HAVE TO LEARN TO CODE!" to (a gratified) "the more I learn to code the more I get out of free software."
In short, it was the cumulative, very high-feedback, very low-barrier-to-entry list of idiosyncratic desires for tweaking my #Org mode workflows, then customizing my #mu4e workflows ... before I knew it I had written a couple of major and minor modes to mitigate my own #ADD.
I am using #mastodonel and org-capture in #emacs to save interesting toots. To catch the title of the toot's webpage, I am also using #org-web-tools. Both packages have recently changed a bit, breaking my previous hacks.
I've been working on an #emacs package to import my #outlook meetings into #orgmode. I now have a pre-alpha version of #org-outlook here: https://github.com/ifitzpat/org-outlook . Some caveats: there is quite a lot of manual setup required and there are definitely still some rough edges. Features include: the ability to accept/decline meeting invitations and join teams calls from the org-agenda buffer. Feedback & pull requests are welcome!
Me: Grumble grumble grumble, Emacs with WSL disappears when I change networks or when my laptop does this weird thing where it disconnects all USB stuff and reconnects a second later. So then I have to exit bash and then do wsl --shutdown && wsl on the Powershell line.
Me: Grumble grumble grumble, VS Code doesn't have an operating system inside of it that I can live in, for the sort of slightly most part, so I'd have to use other apps for reminders, calendars, to-do, all that.
Gosh I just need to use something like One-Note if it has built-in reminders or something, or get really good at the Mac and use Notes + Reminders. But Org-mode and capture templates and the agenda are just so... Tantalizing. Grumble grumble grumble, while everyone else uses Logseq, Rewind, and Obsidian.
Part1: In Emacs there is a super useful command: C-u C-space set-mark-command
that allow to return to recent place where you was doing anything. 🤘
But I have problem with this command in Org-mode - it doesn't expand headers
tree and text around it header was fold. 💔
The reason for this was in "Sparse Tree" feature and historical approach:
entire document is folded as much as possible.
That is why, as I understand, (org-fold-show-entry) and (outline-show-entry)
hide some headers and text.⛇
To show this text there is command for it:
C-c C-r (org-reveal)
I don't know why this command require '(4) parameter to work properly. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I wrote hook that will automatically call org-reveal with appropriate
parameter '(4):
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda ()
(advice-add 'org-fold-show-context :after (lambda (&rest args) (org-reveal '(4)) ))
))

Wenn du noch nicht viel über die Themen weißt oder noch unschlüssig bist, solltest du dir das mal anhören - gibt einen guten Überblick über diese ziemlich ausgereiften Powertools.
Ohje,
>weil #Emacs von #Unix-Philosophen gefanboyed wird
emacs ist über 40 Jahre alt, da hat zum Glück noch niemand mit Wörtern wie gefanboyed und bloatware argumentiert.
Mit einer Office Suite hat das mal gar nichts zu tun. Was du gerne StallmanOS bezeichnest wurde vom GNU Initiator zum Leben erweckt und GNU steht für Gnu's NOT! Unix. Nur so.
Okay so I have an Org capture template set to take a note and ask for a tag. I type in the tag, and the amazing piece of magic puts my cursor right there after the heading marker, and before the tag, ready to type a heading. Like, I would pay the developers of Org, if I'm not doing so already. I'm not actually sure. But this is going to make my work so much easier. Just categorize students into tags, and sort by those tags, and at the end of the month I'll have all the info I need for a report. Ugh so darn good! Of course, if there's an even better way to do this, I'd love to hear it.
