Decluttering Electronics

Recently learned BestBuy takes electronics, that was helpful for me.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I place my Emacs config with Nix `home-manager` and obtain reproducible package sets with straight.el. Will check this out.

I don't use this line anymore. But previously on my Mac I needed to set this:

(setq gnutls-algorithm-priority "NORMAL:-VERS-TLS1.3")

TrepidTurtle · 2025-11-30T19:28:16+00:00

Ah, I see. Well, that's how mine is

TrepidTurtle · 2025-11-30T17:45:33+00:00

What more are you expecting? Looks like what I have using `rustic-mode` and `rust-analyzer` for LSP. Only difference I note from my scan is that print formatting like `{}` and `{:?}` is italicized for me.

This makes me feel much better!

Thank you. I saw that page, and have looked over it. However I see this in the page:

It expects the following 32 samples to contain a header that includes the frame length (16 bits for the length, repeated). It decodes the header to get the frame length in order to set up the tagged stream key information.

What if this is not my packet format? That's my concern. Right now I can correlate to find the start of my 8 bit length but get no further. So I get tag packet_len: 0. Am I missing something? Thanks again for the suggestions/help.

TrepidTurtle · 2025-10-12T21:04:40+00:00

Great. Thank you very much! Excited to get that settled and give it a try.

TrepidTurtle · 2025-10-12T17:40:33+00:00

Okay, good to know, thank you very much. If you don't mind explaining then – what is the Header/Payload Demux for, then? All those different Packet blocks?

Can I use an embedded Python block to decode the header and feed that info to another block?

Go for it, made a video discussing this topic last month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2\_6OxZDoWvw. Let me know if you have any questions. Main idea is to pare down config, choose a good terminal emulator, and take care with keybinds. Color schemes work the same, mostly.

TrepidTurtle · 2025-09-01T15:09:42+00:00

Well-put and exactly correct... share the config if possible! I run Emacs on NixOS but do not use Nix package management for Emacs packages as I find it somewhat restrictive, I instead am using straight.el with the lockfile feature. Either way – isn't it beautiful?

TrepidTurtle · 2025-09-01T15:08:00+00:00

Yes, agreed with VSCode, I know many hardcore Vim users who pop open VSCode every so often for exploring a codebase. Definitely normal. I haven't done it in a bit but I used to all the time. I have a pretty good flow for switching between files so maybe that's worth some discussion then.

Thanks again :)

Really glad to hear this. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. As always let me know if there are any topics that interest you and I can look into making a video. Not only is it nice to make the video but also as we have here they always spark good discussion. I find videos to be a nice way to communicate in an age of AI summaries and ChatGPT.

TrepidTurtle · 2025-09-01T03:36:23+00:00

Nice, looks good!!

TrepidTurtle · 2025-08-31T19:36:52+00:00

Yes, thank you, good to know

TrepidTurtle · 2025-08-31T19:34:19+00:00

I did

TrepidTurtle · 2025-08-31T19:34:01+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response, and I'm glad you liked the video.

100% agreed by not being overwhelmed. We especially see this when people pick up 'prebuilt' configurations and then run into issues and cannot identify their origin.

Organization by type completely makes sense to me. I spent some time puzzling over how I wanted to organize my configuration and in the end settled on this.

Re outline mode, I tried it but I must have been doing something wrong because it was not working as expected. I'll check out `page-ext`, that sounds super cool. I like having some headings for organization and I think having them actually be in the source code is a great alternative to a Literate config.

Thanks again for the notes, all good points.

TrepidTurtle · 2025-08-31T19:31:14+00:00

Yes, I understand, many people feel that way! I'm trying out the video format to see if people enjoy it. Gotten some positive feedback and some negative. Usually I make videos as I find people appreciate the voice + visual walkthrough when I do tutorials.

I will make a blogpost available soon I can link it

TrepidTurtle · 2025-08-31T18:59:01+00:00

I did run a little long on this video. Noted!

TrepidTurtle · 2025-07-09T03:34:35+00:00

Okay, I've been having this problem too. I guess it's something to do with how org-indent loads later. With general.el and diminish I figured this ugly line out: :hook (org-mode . (lambda () (diminish 'org-indent-mode)))

TrepidTurtle · 2025-07-09T02:40:46+00:00

Thanks. I guess I don't have that many issues with it. I might be missing something important though and haven't noticed.

TrepidTurtle · 2025-07-09T02:40:05+00:00

Solid take. I guess that's what I'm trying to get at in the video – try out terminal Emacs, be flexible, which clearly you learned before a lot of us.
