Hi! I’ve decided I can finally stop tracking this habit: Days without drinking alcohol .
It’s been really hard, especially when meeting up with people — partly out of habit, partly because some folks can be a bit pushy.
But I can say the few neurons I’ve got will be a lot less confused.
Habit: Built.

Here's some code to teach org-mode to recognize & auto-link fediverse usernames to their profiles

For example:
fedi:@me@example.com will become a clickable link to https://example.com/@me

It basically just does the same thing mailto:me@example.com does

Note: This assumes that non-mastodon powered instances have followed the same profile URL scheme.

#Markdown Is a Disaster: Why and What to Do Instead
https://karl-voit.at/2025/08/17/Markdown-disaster/

Here's my article where I summarize the subtle and no so subtle downsides when you choose Markdown for your information instead of a different markup syntax that doesn't come with all the downsides of #MD.

I have 85MB of .org files in ~/org. That's 7999 files, 1743910 lines of text, 92805 headlines, and 8961301 words. The largest single file is 1.4MB and the longest lined file has 26370 lines.

Org-social is a decentralized social network that runs on an Org Mode file over HTTP.

Using #Orgmode for so many years, I just recently stumbled over the Elisp function "org-copy-visible" which is practical as hell: it copies the currently visible characters.

So you can collapse/expand, mark a region and then copy only the visible parts of it.

Particular helpful when you paste into non-Emacs or non-orgdown situations. Or to manually generate some table of contents.

I wonder how I was doing things so far without knowing about that feature.

Using #Emacs 29.4 (railwaycat) on MacOS. Recently, I've been getting random “file has changed on disk” messages.

Thinking that these must be spurious changes (the file is copied and moved?), so I tried auto-revert-mode, but it seems that this has actually lost data—only #Orgmode clock timestamps, but it's still annoying when you discover that you can't clock out because the start timestamp disappeared.

I run org-save-all-org-buffers via an idle timer, but not sure this is related.

Any ideas?

I am looking for opinions. I made drafted a proposal for a decentralized social network that operates with an Org Mode file via HTTP.

Could we have our own network in Emacs to write about Emacs?

Well, after using #orgmode extensively for a few months now today I opened a markdown file in #emacs and used markdown-mode.

Pretty impressive! So many cool features, like folding headings, concealing the markup, previews, etc...

The more I use Emacs the more I find it useful, it's incredible.

Loving it.

@Cnoceda explains his way of using @delta and org-mode for collecting things on the go:

He adapts the deltachat inbox bot to his needs, just like the free software gods intended. Great stuff!

Just published my post on DeltaChat and Orgmode ️ It’s long, but I felt it had to be this way. In the future I’ll be adding new features and will keep you posted.

Now let's go for a coffee at my favorite spot — I’ve earned it!
Have a great Sunday!
