@swiftonsecurity.com Who dares?

@thesolarprincess ah. The reason I’m asking is because I suspected it happened after I upgraded org mode (without upgrading emacs) which made things get a bit funky. Glad it worked for you!

@thesolarprincess you mean the uninstall process I did and reinstall? Did you try to upgrade to the new org mode?

@Neblib thanks! it doesn’t link to my blog directly from this article, but my blog has been on their small web list for a while I think. I get several hits from Kagi, and it’s nice because those usually are people who are looking for my “day in the life” posts rather than the Tech ones, which is what people usually end up reading.

@bodegacats.bsky.social There is a story here begging to be told… :-)

@benjamineskola ah! yes makes more sense to me now, thanks. Yes, before denote I used to have a “wiki.org” file, where I broke things down by headers. It worked, but it still was very messy, and the file just got bigger and bigger which caused syncing problems in turn.
Denote “forces” me to break things down into chunks, and then I can expand to other notes under the same tag or even with a meta note. Good stuff.

@benjamineskola I understand where you’re coming from as a person who got pulled into org-mode bit by bit for weeks. It was a lot to wrap my head around at start. Also, markdown is excellent for notes imo, it’s also more popular and supported by many more platforms where with org-mode, you’re pretty much stuck in Emacs. I am curious though; denote is exactly what you’re asking for, in a way: “a straightforward way to set org up for one-note-per-file with a consistent naming convention” that’s exactly what denote does, unless I don’t get you correctly?
I think it’s a good entry point to get more familiar with the format, if you’re interested, especially if you need some more complicated functions. Let me know if you have questions maybe I can help :)

@RKWB goot.

@gnomon Seems like I got it (check the post again, I updated it with what I did). I think you were right, at least in pointing in the right direction.

@tsolarprincess.bsky.social oops, good catch! Fixed now.

@Miraz wow. Beautiful!

@lmika what’s good about it vs writing a post at home? 🙂

@gnomon can you explain “nulling out ~/.emacs d/eln-cache/30.2*/, and doing a full re-JIT of all my bytecoded files.” ? Can you confirm this maybe or point me to where and how you found the issue?

@Cnoceda haha whatever does the trick 😉

@Cnoceda the discipline not to reply is not something the checklist can give you, but it does help indirectly: by showing you what you still need to do and providing a reminder (in my case). With experience you learn you have the time - just not now. Let me know how it goes! 😀

@jazz Ah, in that case, it could maybe work… though I do prefer something that has a bit of a “give” I think, like rubber. Those squzze balls have too much of it though.
-

@jazz Thanks - I need something more sensory, that I can squeeze or rub or not look at, at least that’s what I’m used to. Right now I have some rubber bands laying around

@paulw found out about it and bought it right away. Not too expensive imo to get the graph-like widgets I used to see in Black Sky. Apple’s weather app is alright, but considering how good Black Sky was, I’m into trying at least.

@eludom Ha. It’s a keeper. And very true.

@ObsidianUrbex do you have more photos of this diner?

@randyridenour mind letting me know what is your Darwin version with
M-x emacs-version? and what macOS are you using? -
∞
@randyridenour i think they are both OK. Per AI (which I take with a grain of salt) the darwin version in my Emacs for macOS is outdated though it is emacs 30.1 not from even a year ago. I used Plus previously, a few months ago they had an issue with the repository that prevented me from installing (something about commits)

@brab
never heard of xattr, interesting. Will check it out. Thanks!
I should have checked on Librewolf’s site. It’s the first solution suggested. I even wrote about it myself, and forgot about it. I will update my original post. Thank you! -

@jbaty only TWO notes apps…? Come on Jack… but that’s just Emacs. You’re still on Obsidian right? actively? and TW?
