to only add items to your init files you understand and document? This post for Emacs Carnival May 2026 describes my workflow for changing my init files.

@sacha I can't open the link on my mobile (not that I plan to read it there) not sure why both firefox and chrome complain about a damaged pdf

When physicists promote Quantum Key Distribution (#QKD) systems, they tend to claim things like: “it is unbreakable because of the laws of quantum physics”

The @bsi has a great report on why that's not true, and that these systems are also vulnerable to many possible implementation attacks.

@miss_rodent YMMV but I find Emacs on Android even on my phone quite usable with the "unexpected keyboard" app https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard. I wrote a post with some further suggestions https://mstempl.netlify.app/post/useful-settings-emacs-android/ maybe useful

Adding content to my knowledge base

I wrote about it a while back but meanwhile some tools no longer exist and I stopped using some others. This post describes my current setup as well as my plans for the next evolution. The intention and generic workflow remains unchanged but some tools have changed Once Omnivore disappeared I switched to Readwise reader for collection. When Logseq announced to move to a database version I had doubts how portable and tool independent it might be Independent of Logseq I decided to switch back to Emacs. Part of that switch away from VS Code is that I no longer use the Dendron software but I keep following its hierarchical note-taking format since it works well for me. On mobile I use native graphical Emacs but also the mobile Obsidian client which supports more “standard” markdown. The nice Dendron Tree plugin makes Obsidian feel like Dendron. I also consume PDF and EPUB documents in Moon+ Reader for Android and the tolino epos 3 e-book reader. calibre is my tool for e-book management. Changes to my workflow Capture I tend to collect lots of links to interesting articles, PDF and EPUB files and I regularly buy e-books.

@mcrocker Heliboard seems nice. Does it support relevant #emacs keys like Ctrl or Alt?
@jameshowell @ericsfraga @sacha sounds quite familiar. In fact LaTeX was my introduction to Emacs and that in turn made me try Linux in the early 90s. I'm getting old obviously but I still use Emacs and nowadays Orgmode.

#til For quite some time I wanted #pyhon code folding in #emacs and even tried several packages but none of them worked as I expected it.

Now I realized that the built-in hideshow mode does exactly what I want.

Another example that the answer to "can Emacs do that" is always "yes" and very often even has it built-in. Amazing!
