So happy to see that people still love to game offline. The 999 games outlet is packed to the brim.

New open source project: Comicstash. After a year of work I decided to open up the development I am doing on my comic book tracker, Comicstash. It started as a #rails web application but then I moved to #flutter and #dart. I release the current usable version on my own forge. It is #localfirst […]

@plexus love using launchpad, stepped into a project with cljs as well and wanted to use launchpad to manage the shadow-cljs for me, but passing the :app id from shadow-cljs results in a nullpointer... any tips?

@schwaigbub I expected very little from it, as I live in a city, but it has awesome connectivity

@schwaigbub I bought a sensecap t1000-e. It was for meshtastic, but a quick firmware update connected it to meshcore

Truly amazed at the reach of #meshcore. My small node picks up repeaters kilometers away, which allows it to connect to other nodes spanning almost 400km at the moment.

You can do anything in #Emacs. I built (a start) of a comicbook tracker using #vulpea and #vui.el. It uses metron.cloud to pull in the metadata.

While working on tsjo.ch I notice that a lot of Planets about a topic mostly consist out of inactive blogs. #kde has a planet of 750 blogs, but only 50ish are relatively recent in their posting. In tsjo.ch I made the decision to not show stale links, to give readers actual alive feeds […]

Came across one of my oldest #opensource contributions last night, a component for #delphi: delphi.icm.edu.pl/authors/a0002603.… tried to find even older artifacts, but this seems to be it for now. When was your first #oss contribution?

The name "tsjoch" is a frysian word, it has multiple meanings, first it commonly means cheers, so a hat tip to anyone using it. Another meaning, in the Frisian anthem is to rise up, in this case to take a stand against the algorithms.

As an example, here is a curated list with active people in the #emacs world: tsjo.ch/collections/the-people-of-e… the list is ever growing as I add more feeds to the index. One click to subscribe, download the opml to your #rss reader and you are up-to-date :)

I should share what I have been building: tsjo.ch an index for the indie/slow web. You can sign up using an invite code from an existing member or drop me an mail at invites at tsjo dot ch. You subscribe to curated lists or individual sites and the app makes a dynamic OPML for your #rss […]

After so many years as an open source contributor and builder of things I actually think I have actually built something that is useful for a larger group. Still in the domain of #slowweb #indieweb and #selfhosting. I am sorting the hosting part out now and hope to release the service somewhere […]

@ctietze @nikitonsky I believe prot made Doric themes to be less colorful as well, so it should be relatively easy. I use doom themes, but probably should switch to modus as it is included in emacs

Arjen :emacs: :linux: @credmp.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 12/02/2026

@ctietze @nikitonsky I did the same thing recently based on that article. I created 2 emacs themes: forge.arjenwiersma.nl/arjen/themes they are not yet perfect, but very usable.

RE: infosec.exchange/@gtronix/116033717… But like jazz, this is an illusion: the initial demands hides a simple truth: make a small change to understand me, Emacs tells you, and then you can spend the rest of your life changing me to meet your needs.

@ctietze yeah, I found that those keys were not really used, and this is excellent, esp in Lisp :)

Arjen :emacs: :linux: @credmp.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 04/02/2026

@ctietze I have one for M-x, but otherwise have stayed away from it. At first I went all in, but in practice it did not help as much as I thought. Home row mods (Ctrl, alt, shift, super) are the greatest change I have made. And I have dedicated keys for ({[, I use those a lot as well (obviously)

100

Arjen :emacs: :linux: @credmp.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 04/02/2026

@ctietze I actually use home row mods, I have an ergodox keyboard and have pretty much remapped everything into max 4 rows of keys, home row mods being the most effective change I have made.

I read a cool post on color themes (tonsky.me/blog/syntax-highlighting) which made me think about implementing it in #Emacs to see how it works. The current work-in-progress themes (light and dark) are here: forge.arjenwiersma.nl/arjen/themes

I made a thing... an incomplete family tree of code editors. See it in action: arjenwiersma.nl/editors.html . During my years in software development I have seen many editors come and go, so I thought I would create a visualisatie for it... it got kinda out of hand :D

Once you start working on an #emacs package the functionality starts getting a bit out of hand. My #java helper now finds and starts spring boot, sets up debugging and connects dap-mode :)

Made some changes to my #java helper for #emacs. Adding a dependency will transparantly load the pom.xml, insert the dep, save it and place you back where you were. Still a work in progress, but it is functional.

Hey #Java #Emacs users, I am trying to smoothen my workflow. One thing that annoys me is to go to mvnrepository.com to look up a package. I am creating a little helper for it, anyone interested?

I made an update to my #emacs upiv package from yesterday, it now supports marginalia mode for even nicer support with configuring use-package. URL: forge.arjenwiersma.nl/arjen/upiv

Arjen :emacs: :linux: @credmp.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 30/10/2025

I so love my #emacs, was configuring some packages and wanted something easier, so I wrote a small function that will look up all the custom variables for a package and provide them as completion, allowing you to easily insert them. Trying to be more like @xenodium by sharing.
