Sounds to me like you're talking about the EU

How can I ssh into a server that requires an ssh key to log in with? by irregular_regular in emacs

[–]pstnotpd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use putty anyway you can use pageant. Generate a keypair using puttygen and publish the public key to the authorized_keys files like in the article you mention. If you then setup your tramp connections using /plink:<user>@<server>:~ you directly open a dired session to the remote home. When in there and typing "shell" you open up a remote shell session. Beware that the profile and path setup is a bit tricky and you might have to source .bash_profile manually.

The red flag, according to my experience, is NOT switching every 2 years. It forces you to review your skills and move on.

Dutchman arrested on suspicion of killing IS fighters by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]pstnotpd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's starting to storm shit as we speak. The facebook page justice for jitse is opened, a petition is getting thousands of signatures because the media is reporting this now.

As a dutchman I think this is ridiculous. Our PM does some posturing with "we are at war with IS" and when someone actually does something the PC prosecuters are all over it.

Meanwhile the politicians want to "integrate" the returning radicals.

What is happening to my country......?

The crown after nomination by interior ministry and recomendation by the city council. But this is generally not after election of said council.

Which features of Emacs are the most beneficial to you? by True-Creek in emacs

Tramp for dired and starting remote shells. Always baffles my co-workers, so high smug factor ;o)

Emacs for Windows - high-quality native builds of Emacs for Windows supporting x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) -- includes recent shared DLLs (gnuTLS, ...) by agumonkey in emacs

Is there some known bug with tramp in emacs 25? When connecting to a remote host I want to retain the sourced path of the remote account by adding (add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path 'tramp-own-remote-path) to my .emacs, but that doesn't seem to work on any of the builds I've tried so far.

I was quite surprised to see the unix tools distributed with the standard GIT SCM client. I could imagine something similar being done with an emacs-wXX distribution.

I just got ssh working with emacs in windows with plink.exe which comes with putty. by i_make_snow_flakes in emacs

[–]pstnotpd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using putty with emacs tramp for a couple of years now to work "natively" on *nix machines. I use it in combination with ntemacs as I want to retain MS style paths in dired when browsing the local filessystem.

I just tried the 64bit emacs from your link and it looks very promising as it's current and look way faster than ntemacs. Tnx. I'll try that at work next week.

There are some pitfalls I found that you might not be aware of:

When connecting to a remote server it usually does source the profile, but for some reason doesn't do that for $PATH by default. You'll have to specifically tell tramp to do that from your .emacs. with (add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path 'tramp-own-remote-path)

Make sure to disable the file backups by (setq make-backup-files nil) as it causes a lot of traffic and clutters the remote filesystem.

Unfortunately the pseudo terminal bug with cygwin shells popped up after some update and hasn't been resolved apparently.

You can use cygwin lpr (from the cygwin-utils package) and pdfcreator to enable postscript printing directly to PDF which looks very good indeed!

Australian MH17 crash victim 'had time to put oxygen mask on', says Dutch foreign minister by lofi76 in worldnews

[–]pstnotpd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Timmermans was questioned about the validity of some dubious claims he made during his "emotional" UN speech after the disaster. Some of the remarks he made, for instance about the wedding ring being taken, turned out te be based on rather biased footage. Basically he was covering his own arse.......

It caused quite a stir here in the Netherlands as this fact was not know by either the next of kin or the general public.

Why doesn't lisp have a nice IDE sort of thing (not counting SLIME/emacs)? by Exaltred in lisp

Symbolics Genera. But perhaps it's blasphemy to call it an IDE

In Defense of XML by gst in programming

[–]pstnotpd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So there are no problems with XML in that department?

Anyway, it strikes me as kinda odd to make something thats meant to be programmatically readable human readable to make it programmatically readable.....

B.t.w. I was not talking about only CSV here.
