There is something I realise about text: Less is more.

When you write your text in simple text format, you have so many tools available.

You have the choice of syntax: Org-mode, Markdown, LaTeX, etc

You have the choice of editor: Emacs, Vi, Nano, etc

You have other great tools you can use: GIT, grep, diff, etc

You can export to a lot of formats: HTML, PDF, EPUB, etc (except for LaTeX, you usually only export to PDF)

You can mix things. For example, you can use the LaTeX syntax for math equations in an Org-mode text and have a great render in PDF and HTML.

And finally, you can automate your workflow and/or export process with scripts: Bash, Python, etc

Or simply use a Makefile.

All of this by using Free (as in freedom) softwares.

And, as a bonus, it use so few computer resources that it work very well for long long documents on old old computers.

    I also tried this.

    But generally, when I woke up, my brain is: "Their is this important thing to do, otherwise it could turn bad. So, no distraction and start doing it" And so, I start to do this thing, without thinking to anything else.

    And when I have no task with bad consequences if I miss, I'm so tired that my brain is: "Today, nothing urgent to do, so let rest, no need to read or take notes or tasks".

    And I know it's a lot because of habits I took at bad jobs. I can still hear "stop writing stuff, if you are a good employee you can remember".

    Doing like this was a survival habit during some times, so my brain work automatically on it.

    It's not the only one bad habits I got.

    In a few jobs, bosses tells me "Write code now, I don't pay you to do nothing" while I was just thinking about the logic of the software, or why I have this bug, etc.

    And, to keep my job, I had to write code without thinking first. It took me a while to stop this habit.

    When my brain is on something, it go back to habit.

    The reason why I didn't used Org-Roam is the same as for any other notes and tasks management systems: I forgot to use it.

    And it's the same problem with every solution I tested.

    I can spend a lot of time testing, customizing a long list of softwares. But at the end, when I start do to work, it may take months before I realise: "Ah yes, I forgot to take notes, write tasks and read them."

    Thank you for your org-rich-yank, I will take a look.

    Do you have a blog post, or a video, about your workflow and how you take and organise your notes and tasks ?

    fox, to orgmode

    A new blog post, in french, about Org-mode dynamic blocks.

    How to use theme and how to write new type of dynamic blocks.

    In Emacs package, we regularly see a documentation at the top of it.

    How can I see it from Emacs like we do for functions or variables ?

    I tested descripe-package but it didn't find ox-koma-letter

    Si une personne commence à faire du live vidéo sous pseudo, écrit du code pendant les lives et décide de publier ce code sous licence libre:

    Comment préserver le pseudonymat et s'assurer que personne ne viendra prétendre être l'auteurice de ce code à la place de la personne qui l'a vraiment écrite ?

    Est-ce que cette personne peut attribuer son code à son pseudo ? Comment s'assurer que personne ne viendra prétendre être derrière le pseudo ?

    Hello every one.

    I'm Fox. New here.

    I like FOSS, Emacs, and a lot of things.
    And Foxes.

    I recently have opened a new blog, where I post in french about Emacs, FOSS, or anything I want to talk about:
    https://one-octet.dev

    It's a minimal website, made with Emacs, Org-mode and its feature Org-publish.
    The index page and RSS is made manually, with help of Yasnippet.

    I think of publishing some posts in English. If I have time.

    fox, to orgmode

    So, I think I start to understand why I always fail to use Org-mode, or any other software made for the same goal.

    Until now, I wanted to use it to track and plan all my tasks. Including tasks I don't want to do but have to. So, every time I used it, it remind me of all the boring stuff I don't want to do. It result as my brain prefer to avoid using it and be focus on something else.

    When I was using Org-mode, I finished by being freeze: I don't do the tasks I don't want to, and because of that, I was feeling that I didn't deserve to do what I wanted to. In the end, I was doing nothing because of that.

    And I also tried to use Org-mode during period of time where I have a lot of work to do, where mistake was not possible for me. In these times, I can't experiment new things. I need to rely on thing that I have already used and have proven it worked for me, even if it's less efficient than Org-mode.

    So, what to do now ?

    I start to use Org-mode to track only, no planing. I mark only the tasks I want to do. Like that, I will be very happy to use it.

    When I took the habit to use Org-mode, I will start to time my tasks. It will help me with my inability to represent time in my head.

    Then I will start to introduce task I don't want to. Maybe with a counter. If I have more than 3 tasks per week, I have the right to push the rest of them to next week.

    And finally, I will maybe introduce planing.

    But for each step, I will wait to take some habits.

    With an Org-mode code block, is it possible to define a caption to be added on top of the result ?

    #OrgMode
    #Emacs

    fox,

    @ericsfraga

    Like a PlantUML block. I want to add a CAPTION on the result image, and also some LATEX_ATTR and HTML_ATTR.

    Just discover the HTML tag "<details>".

    It let you write a content which will be hidden by the browser into a widget. You can expand the widget by clicking on it, revealing the content.

    Very useful if you write a question and want to provide the answer.

    More info: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/details

    fox,

    And if you want to add the "<summary>" tag into the "<details>" tag, you can do like it:

    #+begin_details

    #+begin_summary
    #+HTML: Reply to question 4
    #+end_summary

    Here is the solution to question 4: …

    #+end_details

    The "#+HTML:" is to avoid wrapping the summary text into a "<p>" tag

    fox,

    And here is how to use it with Org-mode.

    First, you need to define the doctype of your Org-mode document to html5 and enable "html5-fancy". For that, simply add this at the top of your Org-mode document:

    #+HTML_DOCTYPE: html5
    #+OPTIONS: html5-fancy:t

    Then, write the content you want to hide into this kind of block:

    #+begin_details

    Write content to be hidden wrote here

    #+end_details

    And voilà, you can export your Org-mode document into HTML and have the content you want hidden into a widget.

    Wow, my blog posts are on Emacs news from @sachac and on Planet Emacslife.

    I'me so happy. 😆​

    For the planet, do I need to do an RSS feed with only Emacs posts ?

    fox, to random

    Do you know an IndieWeb directory ?

    I want to discover more independent websites.

    fox, to emacs

    What theme do you use on Emacs ?

    fox, to fediverse French

    Now we have a Mastodon instance for Emacs users, what do you think about a Peertube instance for Emacs users ?

    And with Google plan to block, from Youtube, people who use ad-blocker, it's time to copy the videos about Emacs.



    fox, to emacs

    What about running an update of all my Emacs package in the same time, on a Emacs config I use and evolve since 12 years ?

    Seems a good idea. 😆

    fox,

    @ecadre

    I started to consult the Warnings and fix every message I found.

    But I have a problem now: The function "define-transient-command" is no more defined, but the transient package is still installed.

    fox, (edited )

    @holgerschurig @ecadre

    Tested and I found transcient- functions.

    Thank you

    fox,

    @holgerschurig @ecadre

    All my Emacs config is made with an Org-mode document and Org-babel tangle to extract all the Elisp before evaluate it.

    So, in any situation, I just need to backup my Org-mode document.
