So I’ve finally written a presentation of my #emacs package for note taking: Introducing Zetteldeft, available at https://efls.github.io/zetteldeft. Hopefully interesting for those looking to combine the powers of #emacs and #zettelkasten.

So apparently the EU is now on Mastodon! https://social.network.europa.eu Might be the sign of a pretty big shift.

Hi #linux Mastodon: I'm in the market for a new laptop and I want it to be Linux first. Any tips or pointers? I'm interested in System76 but unfortunately the import tax to EU seems to be a bit of a gamble... Any other suppliers that provide excellent Linux laptops?

New Zetteldeft feature in #emacs: use `zetteldeft-extract-region-to-note` to create a new note from a region of highlighted text. The region will be replaced with a link to your new note. https://github.com/efls/zetteldeft

I wrote my PhD in Org and can highly recommend this route. Much more convenient to me than writing LaTeX directly (still wrote some custom styles to format the LaTeX, ofcourse). Then again, I know some people have no issues with that. Its just so convenient to put notes straight from Org-files into a draft

New feature for Zetteldeft (in #emacs): conveniently add tags to a note - either at point or at the end of a designated line. More info at https://github.com/EFLS/zetteldeft/

New feature for Zetteldeft (a #zettelkasten package for #emacs): interactively search for a tag in your notes. No gamechanger, but a convenient addition nonetheless! https://github.com/EFLS/zetteldeft/issues/81#issuecomment-734482485

A sharp reminder that it's high time for more diversity of digital infrastructure.

Zetteldeft (the #emacs note taking extension of Deft) now has a feature to export your notes with the help of org-publish. Check it out in the Zetteldeft tutorial & knowledge base: https://efls.github.io/zd-tutorial/2020-10-06-1014%20Exporting%20with%20Org-publish.html

Finally, after repeat searches: M-x profiler-start to see which processes are eating resources. More info at https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Profiling.html

What's that #emacs command again to get diagnostics on memory and cpu usage? Used it in the passed, but can't find it... 🙃

Hitting YouTube's "watch later" on this awesome video on privacy feels a little... contradictory to say the least, knowing it's mother company is one of the biggest personal data hoarders on the planet. Still recommended watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsG-UoZnPTo

For those interested in checking out the Zetteldeft package for #emacs: I've now written a tutorial and knowledge base to get you started. Installation instructions included! Check out https://github.com/efls/zd-tutorial for your #zettelkasten fix in #emacs.

Say I want to introduce an #emacs package I created, and I'll record a screencast to do so. While uploading to YouTube is the easy solution, I'd prefer to stay closer to the #foss spirit. Where could I host such a video?

Paging @publicvoit for the discussion. Karl, do you think using your memacs creation only for external files is overkill? I guess I'd mostly be using the `filenamestamps` module?

I'm interested in using #memacs to easily integrate attaching files into my #emacs workflow. (Not so much to remember it all, like memacs promises, but rather to include links to and notes on external files). Does anyone have any experience to share?

So I just listened to the first @librelounge episode which also discusses #emacs and #orgmode. Recommended listening for anyone interested in FOSS, even for dilettantes like me.

Best line: "I want orgmode directly overlaid over my vision."
