Ces temps-ci je suis entrain de rassembler tous les docs/feuilles de calcul qui traînent, les trucs de ma vie perso éparpillés, revoir ma façon d'organiser mes idées et tout synthétiser en me refaisant la main sur les génialisimes emacs et orgmode :) (qui est utilisable en version mobile ! :)

C'est looong mais ça me permet de remettre petit à petit les idées au clair. Et quand le fond sera suffisant, il y aura sûrement des publications, en lien avec mes posts épinglés, sur mon site qui n'existe pas encore. Allez, rendez-vous dans 10ans) (j'espère plus tôt quand même ;)

Any idea why xon/xoff flow control would suddenly become enabled? I am working on a remote Ubuntu host, and suddenly ctrl-s is borderline malicious. I use emacs, and I don't even think about ctrl-s before I do it, so the xon/xoff flow control is very disruptive. The machine uptime is 18 days, and this has happened in the last hour. I haven't messed with any network config. I guess a system administrator could have updated packages. Could that have enabled xon/xoff flow control?

Some important acronyms to know. Feel free to add some of your own.

Lisp:
Logic In Symbolic Paradigms
Lisp Inspires Strange People
Lisp Is Secretly Perfect

Python:
Pseudocode You’d Teach Hordes Of Newbies
Probably You'll Try Harder On Next-lang
Python: You'd Think Hardware's Optional Now

Emacs:
Editor Maintained As Community Shrine
Ecosystem Mainly Acquired by Cult Sysadmins
Emacs Means Always Configuring Something

Vim:
Vaguely Interactive Misery
Very Irritating Macros
Vim Isn't Modern

Linux:
Legendary Interface, Notoriously Unforgiving eXperience
Loyal In Nature, Unmatched eXtensibility
Linux Is Natural Under X

Applications these days have no respect for a computer's limited resources:

- Chat apps consume 0.5GB RAM (e.g. Messenger)
- IDEs take 5GB of space and consume 4+ GB of RAM (e.g. Rider)
- A VS Code for a tiny F# project eats 1 GB of RAM

And then there's #Emacs which consumes 200MB after 1 month...

I guess most people don't really care about this, as long as they have the resources needed, but it always bothers me.

If you're using #Microsoft #OneNote, you will face disadvantages when you don't switch to #Windows11 soon:

You are forced to "One Note on Windows" which requires a #Microsoft365 account. If you want to keep your previous computer/OS, your synchronization speed gets reduced just to punish your disobedience: https://www.windowslatest.com/2025/03/24/microsoft-will-intentionally-slow-onenote-for-windows-10-so-you-ditch-it-faster/

For anything that requires a certain amount of privacy/security, for anything long-term (avoiding #lockin effects), OneNote was a bad idea in the first place.

People who started with the original OneNote already faced data loss when MS forced them into the then mediocre cloud version in 2018: https://karl-voit.at/2018/04/21/end-of-OneNote/

My recommendation: re-evaluate your requirements and switch to a much better long-term alternative, such as #Emacs #Orgmode & not yet another hip lock-in monster like #Obsidian, #Evernote or other closed source #cloud solutions: https://karl-voit.at/2021/01/18/tool-choices/

As a book translator I spend my days working with texts. Also it means I have to deal with user-hostile file formats like docx. Because editors, designers...
My long-time friend was LibreOffice. I used it since version 5.something. It's a great alternative to Microsoft Office. But in other respects you have to put up with this huge bulky piece of legacy code that probably still has Sun engineers' souls trapped inside.
And I want to boast with my little personal victory. I have finally finished a book fully typed in #vim and #emacs (for the glory of both editors) in Markdown format and later processed via #pandoc to docx (with all required styles and formatting). I used LibreOffice only on the last stage to iron out some quirks and typos. It seems this workflow works.
Which means I don't have to use this huge and unhandy LibreOffice suite every day.
Now I want to figure out if I can use org format for my translations or should I stay with Markdown. Because it seems I like it here with Emacs.
