Coming from Obsidian to Org Mode, org-appear (github.com/awth13/org-appear) is a must-have addition. It provides the same editing experience as Obsidian’s Live Preview. One step closer to actually making the switch! #OrgMode #Emacs #Obsidian

Two GNU Emacs options I've found for editing several or all instances of something (eg a misspelled word) in a buffer are iedit¹² and multiple-cursors³. Multiple-cursors is clearly more capable but also more complex to use, while iedit seems fairly minimal. It's tempting to hook up iedit to […]

#penguins #linux #humor
Two photos taken by the same camera.  The top photo shows the interior of a tent with a man asleep in a thick sleeping bag.  The tent door is open and reveals a snowy landscape outside, possibly in Antarctica since there is a curious penguin just outside the tent looking in at the man.  The penguin is captioned saying "Mother of God, he's asleep!"

The second photo shows the same scene, but now there are 6 penguins and they have come inside the tent to look around while the man sleeps.  The caption on this image reads "Come in, quick, install Linux on all his devices!"
