Possibly the worst time to replace a failing SSD in my machine. I didn't check the prices in the last year, but it is expensive right now.
Perhaps switching to a spinning disk for the time being is a less expensive alternative.
At least it's not the system drive. It's an older spare SSD used to backup my machine

US citizens: call on Congress to block the fascist's attempt to ban voting by mail. US citizens: Join with this campaign to address this issue. To phone your congresscritter about this, the main switchboard is +1-202-224-3121. Please spread the word.

Block Trump's attempt to ban mail voting!

Trump's assault on democratic elections is fueled by his MAGA far-right anti-immigrant conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.

@bbatsov posts a very long list of very useful #Emacs configuration tips. Too many to list, just go read the whole thing.

Incredibly useful.

Stealing from the Best Emacs Configs

Good artists borrow, great artists steal. – Pablo Picasso After spending the past couple of weeks updating Prelude and my personal Emacs config, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to see what the competition has been up to. I hadn’t done a proper survey of other people’s configs in years, and the Emacs landscape has changed quite a bit since the last time I looked. So I went through Doom Emacs, Purcell’s emacs.d, Centaur Emacs, Prot’s dotfiles, and a handful of others. Here are some of the most interesting things I found – settings and tricks that I either didn’t know about or had forgotten about entirely.
