I get a lot of rejects in my life, but this one is one of the special ones: it's very nice and cozy and I would like to highlight it and share with you.

Be kind to people, it can be important to them.

And, also, what a good company to be among: Manolis Ragkousis, @civodul, @pjotrprins :)

@jgart asked if completion for haunt static site generator works in emacs-arei?

Sure! why not?)

In the last few days:
- Did a visa run (now I have 30 more days in Turkey).
- Participated in Abu-Dhabi marathon (10km race).
- Got a new passport (Can use one for getting visa, while traveling with another).
- Migrated to new ssd (with fresh Guix/RDE installation).
- Survived a little 40mm rain in a tent (a day without electricity and hot water).

I guess it's a good start of my 31st year of a life :)

I moved to a new drive, built and installed system with guix system init. Aaand it stucks during the boot. Any ideas why?

@abcdw Partition UUIDs changed so fstab is out of date?

blasfisq

@abcdw same Kernel? Had trouble recently with some of the newer versions.

dpflug

@abcdw I suspect that's the spot where execution is supposed to pass from the initrd to the real root.

Looks like it's governed by gnu/build/linux-boot.scm, line 443. It doesn't output any messages unless /home exists or /init doesn't.

It does disconnect/reconnect the console. Maybe there's a race condition or something there?

It's also possible, down at line 660, that to-load isn't defined, so all of that is being skipped.

Email vs Capitalism.

A very nice talk with a great delivery on emails history and some technical details (smtp, mime parts, standard implementations).

@abcdw This is a very interesting talk, and fun to watch! Thanks for sharing

Andrew Tropin

I didn't share it anywhere publicly yet, but I already received around 2000€ of donations (including open collective and private) for the last couple of months.

It's a huge support, unbelievable and heartwarming experience. It gives me hope and time to keep doing what is important and right.

I still need more help, so please read this page: trop.in/support

It's NOT ONLY about the financial ways to support me, my FOSS work and projects we work on.

@abcdw hey sorry, that on IRC sounded like a scam, I realize that now. Writing here in case you blocked me there. What I said was in reply to this and was honest.

Andrew Tropin

Can someone host me in Abu-Dhabi for two days? 15-17 December?

Will appreciate it very much.

On my 30th birthday I will be doing a visa run to get 30 more days of life in a rainy forest. Sometimes I doubt my life choices (:

Published my EmacsConf 2023 talk about new Guile Scheme IDE on my channel:

youtu.be/F-H3YQywr-4
diode.zone/w/15mVrxS2ywDny5NeE

You can find Q&A in etherpad:
pad.emacsconf.org/2023-scheme

Feel free to ask more, anywhere you feel comfortable to.

@abcdw

What Guix channel are the IDE components in? I couldn't find them in the regular Guix channel.

Andrew Tropin

Arei, Guile IDE for Emacs is available in Guix!

guix shell emacs-pgtk emacs-arei -- emacs

The respective RPC (nREPL) server can be started with:

guix shell guile-next guile-ares-rs -- \
guile -c '((@ (nrepl server) run-nrepl-server) #:port 7888)'

Try it out, give your feedback and boost the post if you enjoyed :)

#guile #scheme #lisp #guix #rde #nrepl #clojure #emacs

David Wilson

@abcdw Might give this a try on a stream soon

Colin

@abcdw Now to get it outside of Guix too. Is it a standalone binary or something that can otherwise be invoked from the command line?

Andrew Tropin

I fought FOMO (fear of missing out) so hard that I missed my Q&A for EmacsConf 2023 (:

The talk was about Guile Scheme IDE:
emacsconf.org/2023/talks/schem

I would really love to hear your feedback and questions, so if you have some, post it here or reach me out via trop.in/contact

Kudos to @sachac and the organizers team for making such a great conference.

@abcdw haha, that's cool, that's cool! Life happens. :)

@abcdw

Fantastic stuff, it is great for guile that clients can be created for other editors. Just some ideas for an IDE:
- srfi and ice-9 hints for identifiers. (To help newcomers)
- geiser works great (goto definition, documentation, eldoc hints) but only for the modules that are loaded. Could it be possible to optionally "load everything" in a different context in the nrepl?
- a debugger like edebug would be ideal, currently does nrepl have any simpler features to help debugging?

Andres Moreno

@abcdw @sachac

Wonderful talk, Andrew! I think this is an excellent path forward for Scheme development.

Restarting continuations was particularly interesting--it suggests a really nice path for interactive development where you don't have to reset state.

Ok, my final email provider destination seems to become migadu.com.

I wanted to go for it for a long time and after a couple more hours exploring their site and having a few talks with migadu team I can say it aligns with my vibe and views perfectly and will work for me in terms of limits for patch series and reviews too.

I restored the mailbox from a 1 week old backup, so this week's emails are not in my inbox. Please resend them if I haven't replied yet.

Temporary migrated my emails to runbox. It operates since 2000, hosted in Norway, have all standard features and protocols available, the costs and message limits are quite nice.

Migadu was on the top of my list, but 20message/day limit on micro plan and 9$/month on mini plan is too much for me at the moment. Probably, I can solve it, but it requires more time.

I also update my mail workflow a little bit, so there is a small chance that I can miss your email in the next few days.

@abcdw Sorry Andrew, not right now. We're focusing our bandwidth on making the product accessible to those who don't have the technical knowledge / energy to run a reliable storage infrastructure. We'd happily recommend @photoprism or Immich, they're fantastic projects!

Andrew Tropin

Evaluated migadu, I very liked the list of drawbacks:
migadu.com/procon/

I like the service and their approach:
> Unicorns, fairies and investors. None here. We do not have cash to burn. We do not talk about “scaling” but rather serving better.

The only problem for me is
that micro plan has a rate limit of 20 mail per day, which
doesn't work for me (even If I don't send patch series I can
reach this limit easily), other than that it is great.

They do the business their way.

@abcdw

I've used Migadu for about 2 years now, and while I've experienced ups and downs (there have been 2 times where I simply stopped receiving email and it took like a day to sort out), I haven't seen anything that seems better. and its useful being able to spawn up mailboxes on demand.

JayT

@abcdw I'm currently hosting my personal email with Migadu, after a recommendation from @drewdevault , and have been very happy with their service.

Andrew Tropin

gandi changed their free mail service (advertised as a free addition to your domain) to paid one and it cost 4EUR/month per mailbox, there is also a yearly option, which cost 48EUR/year 😄

The service isn't bad, but I wouldn't say it's great in some way either.

Looking for place to migrate. migadu.com, mailbox.org or something else:

@abcdw I took the chance to directly manage my email , which is a great way to feel the meaning of the Internet.

Be your own host 😉

@abcdw I use Proton Mail and I tried Tutanota. I like Proton Mail enough to pay for the Ultimate CHF 190 per 24 months. I think it was a black Friday/cyber Monday deal 😉

Here is a referral link pr.tn/ref/RYN42RYGBP5G . You will get a free month of mail plus and I will get $5 or $15 if you take a 1 or 12 month subscription.

@abcdw I've used migadu for a couple of years now and been satisfied with the service they provide.

it uses matomo, but can aggregate on-device and report less data, crucially omitting usage times.
