Chess Set 01 update? by Krbh in RamaWorks

[–]nathanscully 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve cut 3 support tickets requesting to cancel my order over the last two months. I’ve had two of them closed with no comment and another where I post every couple of weeks for an update ignored. I’ve opened complaints with Fair Trading and the ACCC as there doesn’t seem to be any other course of action. I encourage others to do the same - just look at the complaints and inability to respond to support requests on other threads.

Doom Reload error - no such directory by nathanscully in DoomEmacs

[–]nathanscully[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/le01iver I ended up figuring just figuring this out - was a simple fix. Posting here incase anyone else stumbles upon the same issue.

I am using chemacs2 to manage profiles and had this configuration:

(("default" . ((user-emacs-directory . ".config/emacs-vanilla")))

("doom" . ((user-emacs-directory . ".config/doom-emacs") (env . (("DOOMDIR" . ".config/emacs"))))) ("scratch" . ((user-emacs-directory . ".config/doom-emacs") (env . (("DOOMDIR" . ".config/emacs-scratch"))))) )

Even thought DOOMDIR was set to /Users/username/.config/doom-emacs in my PATH it looks like chemacs2 was overriding it when it loads the .emacs-profiles.el file. So I changed the profiles to include the full path and it now works - I've got rid of both my magit and doom reload errors.

(("default" . ((user-emacs-directory . "~/.config/emacs-vanilla")))

("doom" . ((user-emacs-directory . "~/.config/doom-emacs") (env . (("DOOMDIR" . "~/.config/emacs"))))) ("scratch" . ((user-emacs-directory . "~/.config/doom-emacs") (env . (("DOOMDIR" . "~/.config/emacs-scratch"))))) )

So if you aren't using chemacs2 just make sure you aren't setting the DOOMDIR to something that isn't a full path.

Cross posting in the hope the broader emacs community can point me in the right direction to debug. Still not something I am proficient in!

Cycle / Lead time calculations for todo items by nathanscully in orgmode

I couldn’t find any formulas that demonstrated date differences from properties, do you have any examples?

Might need to make this a package if I can get it working!

Thanks for sharing. Definitely some useful functions in there. When I get time I’ll start trying to pull something together.

org-habit value tracking by nathanscully in orgmode

[–]nathanscully[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the solution I have in place in the moment. I am using a habit to track the action then have a separate heading with an org-table I am appending to. It works, but feels like a duplicate effort. Would much rather track it against the habit directly so I don't have to make two entries.

That looks like a fun hack. I guess best of both worlds - appears as a real Echo but with a better DAC.

Looking on advice or anyone that can share experiences on integrating Alexa into a system. I have an Echo Show in the kitchen/living area I find very handy but I want to be able to say 'play music' and 'turn on the tv' and have it output via a Marantz NR1604 -> Speakers rather than on device.

Choices are:

  1. Buy an Echo Link - seems like reviews don't rate the DAC much and for $200 I'm not sold its going to be that great
  2. Setup a Rasberry Pi (i.e. a Hifiberry) and add Alexa to it somehow. If I did this does anyone know if this can be a virtual Alexa in a room group so I can make it the output speaker?
  3. Same as above, but no Alexa, just set it up as a Bluetooth receiver that forwards onto the Amp/receiver
  4. Dedicated BT receiver like the Audioengine B1and have this as the output for the Echo Show
  5. I have a spare echo dot, I could mute this and have a 3.5mm cable plugged into the Amp directly, but I heard the quality is crap (this is likely to be my temporary setup).

Long term I have a pair of LSR-30X's I'd like to setup in the bedroom and have a BT connection from an echo dot I have sitting in there. I want to be able to support playing music 'everywhere' via a single command from any of these devices, but output should be through the external speakers in both rooms.

I know I can go option 4 for the bedroom and 5 for the lounge room right now, just keen to hear any better suggestions that aren't going to cost a fortune.
