No matter how much I required or load-file or check-parens, nothing explained why half a file of #emacs #elisp wasn't loading. Somehow the closing three `'")' had been stripped from two neighboring lines, and somehow the syntax had been balanced enough to satisfy the checkers. That was to hunt down.

Oi. The #Javascript fails in my #Hugo partial if I insert it at the top, not the bottom. And here I thought #JS was a #HoistedLanguage...

@picofarad like... pulling out the power immediately as I put the laptop to sleep? 🤦

@picofarad that would make sense. I wonder what could have caused the driver "charged" flag to get stuck? Also, what's BMS? Bios?

Well, that was weird. My dock had stopped charging my laptop. I switched cables around and charged other things (my phone) just fine. Then I bypassed by dock; USBC straight from power to laptop. still no charge. I restarted exwm. Still no charge. So I shut down my computer, seeing if it would charge while it was off. Bingo! Then I restarted my machine. It kept charging! Was it the computers USBC failing to carry charge? Was it my Totu dock failing to paso the charge to the PC? Was it my custom power brick being too smart for its own good, failing to provide power? I'm not sure. But for sure, #NewYearVoodoo. I hope that's the last time I need to use that hashtag.

In order to accomodate Github 2fa I've started using Jürgen Hötzel #emacs #totp https://github.com/juergenhoetzel/emacs-totp , which is a beta library leaning heavily on the ancient but unknown-to-me core #auth library https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/auth.html#Overview . As if it wasn't enough to know "emacs can do that," it turns out "emacs did that decades ago."

@zulip and.. they just went through! Thanks!

@zulip it looks like the email functionality is down again. Is this a holiday thing?

@circfruit what is your `tramp-compat-temporary-file-directory` set to be? Mine is /tmp

@circfruit ooh. I want to know this too, except with deletes...

My emacs is failing to negotiate addresses that always worked before, though Curl does just fine by them. Errors indicate that #gnutls might be the problem. I wonder what happened and if more will break if I update it... #guix

Using #emacs bufler to group my browser windows (NOT tabs!) https://orys.us/vC

Filling this out for a former employee -- what's the difference between "Fired" and "Laid off"?

What #containerization solution is recommended right now for deployment, say of #WordPress? I understand #Docker is dwindling, but it's the only one I know. I know Guix has some nice features, but it's not portable enough for my student devs and my production environments.

I'm trying in vain to figure out how that nice, concise little blog "comments" section works. I am pleased that it doesn't seem to be Disqus, but noticed that it does seem to use one of my centralized images from somewhere. Any clues to what web comment system (I am NOT talking about academic comments on the papers)?

@seancorfield @mykhaylo I just came across the old mailing list discussions they (Crux) were haviig with you in their early days about this. Thanks for summarizing and filling me in!

It's funny how a little, long-standing #QualityOfLife improvement can make me feel so much better! Getting my interface to be always up-to-date and therefore trustworthy

@mykhaylo mrmm.. I didn't see that anywhere. But, to be fair, it's been a while since I've worked on my XTDB projects
