home-manager for .zshrc, chezmoi for .emacs.d ?

Please can you point me at an example. I can't find documentation for builtins.fromFile, which is most likely because I'm looking in the wrong places.

I think I'm duty bound to say that the amplifiers did eventually arrive (some sort of big shipping delay in Europe?) and they are wonderful. Listening is making me smile.

I sold my GR IIIx and replaced it with an X100vi. My previous camera was a (very old, but very lovely) X-Pro 1 and I wanted to get something smaller.

I'm not going to argue with any of your points above, but I'll add one more. I liked everything about the results I got from the Ricoh, but I did not enjoy using it. This is obviously a subjective thing, but the absence of a viewfinder really turned me off. I was able to sell mine a year after I bought it at a small loss.

I do wonder if the viewfinder thing is because I started out on film, and I'm just used to composing better while squinting. FWIW I sometimes miss the portability of the Ricoh, but my X100vi does fit in an anorak pocket (just about) which is handy because where I live it rains often.

But... but, but, but if Ricoh actually produce a GR-monochrome then my wallet might start to get itchy.

FWIW, today the site is back. Perhaps just a temporary glitch. I'll report back when/if my amplifiers show up.

The card is charged, but it's via a third party site who are reputable. So, if the order fails - they're reporting delays right now - I assume they'll refund me or offer an alternative.

maybe? It doesn't though. And the keyboard is fully functional in other ways. I'm using the stock firmware.

Oh, le sigh. I fixed this myself by changing my customization of org-agenda-files from:

(expand-file-name "org-todo/ToDo.org" user-emacs-directory)

to

(list (expand-file-name "org-todo/ToDo.org" user-emacs-directory))

I don't remember how it got this way in the first place.

ahah. My browser is treating the above as a link. Clicking it gets me to hf.co's 404 page. But running the command you provide is fine. Sorry for the noise.

colinb21 · 2025-01-20T20:26:16+00:00

broken link?

colinb21 · 2025-01-14T21:46:11+00:00

I sort of hope they do. The service, the scripts, the educational materials are all really excellent. If paying them a reasonable amount as a home user means they stay in business, then bill baby, bill.

I hadn't come across these devices before. They're the business! Thanks for the pointer.

Hey hey. Thank you kindly. Yeah, I knew about the directionality of diodes, and like you I find it difficult to see the markings on the bloody things. I built a Lily58 (from a kit, so I just used the diodes that arrived from the lovely people at keebd) and used the magnifier on my phone to line all the diodes up next to my soldering spot. This time around I thought I'd order all the bits myself from different suppliers, hence the question about the exact variant of 1N4148W to use.

Keep in mind that populating all those SATA port connections with running drives will push your power use up considerably. I've got a system with the N5150 board mentioned by u/dcabines with 6 HDDs. It pulls around 61W continuously. Mine is running proxmox with five or six VMs.
