What a pain to contribute a two-line patch, when using pull-/merge-request based workflow:

- Create an account, confirm email
- Find a place and add ssh, gpg keys
- Fork repo, clone the fork
- Apply the patch, push commits to fork
- Open original repo web page, create merge request.

It's a simplified list of actions, in reality you constantly jump back and force between different web pages, mail client and repos.

It's not impossible, but quite inconvenient comparing to sending one email.

@abcdw The process is much simplified when you already have an account at the service, which is why the network effect of Github is so strong: if you put your public repository on a different service it will be much more unlikely to receive contributions.

After 5 days trip, almost without sleep, but with a help of great people we finally managed to get out of Russia. Everything is ok, I'm at Tbilisi (Georgia) now.

Andrew Tropin

I'm hugely sleep deprivated and have urgent things to do. Please, don't expect me to answer quickly or even at all in the next few days.

Today I replied to one email and the rest of my productivity was blown out after I checked a messenger: Half of the chats are talking about Mobilization in Russia, which is started.

I had a clear understanding of the tasks, I had a motivation and desire to work today, but I can't get back my focus to the project.

BTW, I'm curious if it still illegal to call war war in Russia?

@abcdw one take i read is that by annexing the occupied "republics", it 1. becomes legal to use conscripts on the front lines (as canon fodder), and 2. it becomes a defensive war which is legal and good and maybe it can finally be called war (and he can finally drop his precious nukes on, uh, i think he didn't think it through that far)

that said i'm hoping for a coup or at least major civil unrest in russia soon

Continue the topic of emacs completion. Today we talk about abbrev, dabbrev and snippets.

Hack yeah! Successfully built a livecd with my complete sway/emacs home environment.

Sergey. :arch: :vim:

@abcdw thinking about switching to sway many times.. sway is good for sure, but how do you plan to manage some apps that are not working yet, like chromium-based screen sharing (zoom probably already working at the moment), flameshot, redshift, and so on.

@abcdw Is this related to that "bridging guix system and home" issue? 👀

Emacs tip of the day. If you need to configure/tweak something in #emacs, it's very likely that the solution is already in Protesilaos' config:

protesilaos.com/dotemacs

Andrew Tropin

If you use #guix graphical installer and network check fails:

touch /tmp/installer-assume-online

Andrew Tropin

To prevent Emacs polluting my find-file dialog with compiled guile files I add a line to .dir-locals.el:

(eval . (add-to-list 'completion-ignored-extensions ".go"))

It also makes files with this extension fade in dired.

#emacs

Documented almost all #emacs configuration packages provided by #rde

Now it gives at least some idea about what settings and tweaks are baked in them.

I configured WKD for trop.in domain, now you can get my gpg key using simple command:
gpg --locate-keys andrew@trop.in

Some mail clients will do it automagically.

More information on WKD and how to configure it here:

Kudos to @proactiveservices and @wiktor for the comments, links, articles and all the help.

@abcdw @proactiveservices @wiktor TIL gpg WKD.

Definitely want to set something like this up for myself. Thanks for sharing 😃
