I’ve been using Linux since 2006, I'll learn it for real one day.

Emacs is my way of life and Screen is my serial console of choice.

You'll probably catch me ripping music to my Sony Minidisc or using Emacs for InfoSec.

I wrote a small Emacs package that can automatically give GitHub stars to third-party packages as they are being installed.

This project was inspired by Jason Gerber's plugin that does the same for Neovim.

Ok so it was some weird boot issue after all. I think there was a pending update that didn't fully get configured.

Weird part is that I booted into a Live-USB and that didn't work either. But as soon as rebooted and went through my normal install everything worked fine.

Well going to start my weekend troubleshooting my laptop not booting issue. It seems I had a brownout at my house and the laptop did not like it.

The Framework laptop 13 boots fine and I get a Grub screen but #Fedora fails to properly boot. I'm thinking something got corrupted and the boot sequence is not properly loading the #LUKS password decrypt screen.

I can either do a quick Google to skip the LUKS encrypted partition. More likely I'm going to boot into a live environment and do a reinstall.

Luckily, in the last version of Fedora the installer has a handy "reinstall and keep my files" option. I just really hope that the LUKS partition didn't get borked. If it did then I'll do a full clean install and start over from a backup.

"Generate a heavy metal band logo for a band called EMACS, use themes and colors from the Emacs text editor and logo, and parenthesis to emphasize the lisp component of the editor."

New ploast on my bog! Stundex.el makes an index from an Org file having certain properties. I go on to explain why one might want such a thing. #emacs #orgmode #SANS #GIAC

Okay nerds. I’m hoping for recommendations because search results are all getting so murky with AI injections.

I am not a software developer, but I’m having to get more into it for the purpose of automation and sysadmin tasks. Presently I am focused on bash, python, a bit of PowerShell and CaC/IaC like Ansible, kubernetes etc.

Please recommend some books that are focused on software design patterns and principles that would be relevant for my use case.

Thank you!

Urgent help for OpenPrinting needed!

As many here know, I am co-founder and lead of OpenPrinting since 2001, known as the print guru for Linux and free software by many. I also got one of the 8 fellows of the Linux Foundation for this.

Up to now I was working at Canonical, hired back in 2006 just to run OpenPrinting and also to maintain printing-related Ubuntu packages.

... 🧵

Please boost.
