I'm made the transition from Vim to Emacs. I now primarily use Emacs with Evil mode and still use Vim for quick edits with the Vim configuration as a subset of my Emacs configuration. It's the best of both worlds. The Emacs text editing platform is on another level regarding automation, integration and productivity. I have my own config, but I recommend trying the Doom Emacs configuration system if you want to get up and running quickly.

I have read the book and it is the best Emacs book I know of. Highly recommended.

You should try some modern terminals fx.:

- Contour https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour

- Wezterm https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/

Both fast terminals with modern features and cross platform. Also checkout Notcurses:

https://notcurses.com/

Here is a video of the Notcurses demo running in a terminal:

Um. I am not sure if you appreciate the difference.

AIUI, those are terminal emulators. Programs that let you attach to a text session on the same or another computer.

Terminal emulators are programs that emulate terminals. "Terminals" are a type of hardware. A screen and a keyboard that attach over RS232 serial links, running at maybe 9600 bits per second -- a really fast one might do, ooh, 19200bps -- to a computer. They can only display text.

(Graphical terminals existed but cost as much as a quite nice car at the time, and so remained rare.)

The clever thing in this WordPerfect version can display a "graphical" print preview on a text-only terminal.

This is trivially easy in software, but a pretty amazing feat of coding on dedicated hardware.

Come on, I must have been raised in another Denmark from a parallel universe then?

Fedtemadder (lard on bread) is an essential part of the danish smørebrødsbord (open sandwich table). It is common to use lard instead of butter on speciel occasions, like Christmas for example. And it tastes great :-P

All the download links are down at the moment. Here's a torrent link:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:j6ixrzpitvpmkx5tgroy6utcpqr5hhhj&dn=updated%20mosaic.png&xl=304863698&fc=1

You can download/share via webtorrent

updated mosaic.png seemed to not be a good long term name. On my local I changed it to "Moon 50,000 Image Composite by A James McCarthy 2019.png"

This is very cool. I've never used this site before!

You might also be interesting in file.pizza. Very useful. The webtorrent ecosystem in general is very cool tech.

If only we had something like imgur but the images were stored on bittorrent network.That would be great.

This could work, but where would we serve the ads from?

PSA: Update your Transmission. A good chunk of you are running 2.92, which is susceptible to CVE-2018-5702[0] (which allows basically anyone to write arbitrary files to your computer from a webpage).

Also, cool trackerless magnet link, worked a treat.

Many might be running the version from Debian stable, which has fixed this bug:

This link works now. File is 291 MB

There's a 4k wallpaper version. 213MB. Moon centered in the screen.

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:6f64830246540020bf26b87b5c269088d563ac5d&dn=4K-mosaic.png

213 or 21.3? (link didn't find peers)

A 4k bitmap is still only 28mb.

Thanks! And now I'm sharing back out as well.

thanks for this! It is probably a smarter way to share the pic given the number o dead links...

bittorrent is the smartest way to share any file that's being viewed by lots of people at the same time. I am continually amazed why it's not used more often.

edit: i a word

Possibly the lack of adoption for native browser support.

More like the lack of possibility of injecting ads and collecting data while using BT.

Brave browser has a built in torrent client, IIRC.

IIRC Opera used to have support for it at some point.

Aside from the nontrivial security mechanisms that would be required to implement it safely, is there another reason why native browser support for torrenting doesn't exist yet?

I suspect it just doesn't look good from a PR perspective. who wants to be first to get slammed in the press for enabling piracy?

Well it did suggest 2 icons of presumably corporate scrum meetings...

I run stable at work and on my private workstation and laptop. Minimum downtime, it just works. I install my bleeding edge, i.e Haskell, Python, Emacsen, Firefox etc in my home directory. Best of both worlds. A stable base system and the newest application and environments on top.
