I've moved the repositories of the geiser packages I maintain to codeberg, so make sure you update your remotes if you access them directly through git. The URLs are already updated in the ELPAs, so nothing changed if you installed them via…
After many years of switching between email systems, service providers, backup and sychronisation strategies, mail folders layouts, protocols and inadvertent replications, i ended up with a sizeable amount of local email folders containing,…

I've been playing with macOS lately, and needed a quick way of grabbing the number of unread articles in NetNewsWire. So I wondered if I could somehow access its application badge label. One day I'll learn awk and feel ashamed of what I'm a…
I've just released a new version of consult-recoll, which implements a couple of features that i am really liking, namely, grouping of search results by mime type: I've been thinking of moving xmobar's repository and issue tracker out from

In the last couple of months, i've been moving from Gnus (after more than twenty years using it!) to notmuch, as part of a simplification journey (simpler code means a more hackable (emacs) environment) and also because tagging finally clic…
It had been a while since i last had this much fun with a programming languages book, and learnt so much in the process. It sure helped that i am a complete neophyte on the subject matter of dependent types: i had recently started playing w…
Reading mailing lists via Gnus by pointing it to the usenet service news.gmane.io is a well-known trick among emacsers. It has a couple of drawbacks, though: network latency and no search. The two problems have, as almost always with almost…
i've been using Bastian Bechtold's org-static-blog for this blog for more than a year now. Back in the day, i mentioned how well it integrated with my emacs workflow and how its simplicity was a big asset1. During this year, i've contribute…
