Going through the process of getting things set up on a new phone.

The things you don't write are left unwritten
The things you don't say, unsaid
The things you don't show, unseen
For how long, maybe?
Until when?

Algún día, algún día
Algún día haremos la revolución
Pero si no ahora, cuándo?
The things you don't say are left unsaid
The things you don't write unwritten
Until one day, maybe?

Las jaras, qué jaras?

Noding this in my new laptop [[avalokiteshvara]] while visiting [[ZWZ]] :)
- Last visit before going on a trip, likely starting on Tuesday night.
- Earlier this weekend I spent time with [[KM]] and [[Lady Burup]] and it was wonderful, even though I woke up with a headache (hopefully the last in this cluster) on Saturday morning.

- 7 ~ [[Avalokiteshvara]] in the [[Flancia]] pattern language :)
- Had a great day with [[KM]]! Despite sleeping little and waking up with a strong headache again — unsure at this point if it’s viral or what is called a [[cluster headache]].

Back noding!
- I’m writing this in [[Bitwäscherei]]. The [[Agora]] is being demoed live for the first time! And I’ve met lots of cool people as usual :)
- I spent Friday and Saturday with [[KM]] and it was great despite our health not being tip top at times :)
- I feel more than lucky; right now, [[blessed]].
- Work has been fine actually; I was oncall this week and was sick two days but I pushed through and felt quite at ease despite sleeping too little.
-
[[Las Jaras]] was special as expected!
- I threw [[7]] * [[2^9]] over five dice, notable.
- [[2063]] made an appearance
- I ran [[collect]] after planning to for long and it felt cathartic! The [[chaos stack]] which was a bunch of literal back of the envelopes going back to 2024 was reviewed/distilled into a notebook and thus can be put away (or, as indicated in some of the envelopes as intention, [[burnt]].)
- Came after [[2026-01-31]]
- Saw [[Koch]]! And [[Aaron]] and many others.
-

- maybe during the week with [[KM]]? :)

[[Las Jaras]]!
- We were not completely healthy, [[KM]] and me currently, but I enjoyed living these days together!
- I was home until midnight with [[KM]] (who went home in the afternoon) and [[Lady Burup]] and then went to [[Zentralwäscherei]] and I loved it.
- I ran some [[collect]] I had planned for long (more about this tomorrow…).
- I updated the [[moodboard]].
- And coded and enjoyed!

- I met [[Omega Attraktor]] again today in [[ZW]]! Nice to see them, looking forward to listening to their music.

Noding, #noding, [[noding]]…
- I don’t know precisely how well the streak is going but I’m happy to be back noding at least a bit every day, most days :)
- Personal life is going beautifully, there was a small setback with a health issue affecting a loved one but things are looking up now!
- My trip to [[Napoli]] with friends was amazing.
- It was beautiful to be reunited with [[KM]] and [[Lady Burup]]!
-
I found [[I don’t want my tool to tell me how to think]] very interesting, thank you [[@scalingsynthesis]]!
- It also inspired me to fix some longstanding Agora bugs with [[canonical wikilinks]] (what we render in [[Agora Server]]…

-
[[Org Social]] has strong [[IndieWeb]] vibes.
- P2P, host on your own site, etc.
- I think it relies more on relays though. I don’t think you could directly mention someone like you would with a webmention.
-
I also like that you choose an emoji for reactions, rather than a generic like. Like [[CTZN]] did it.
- I think that’s a good way to allow reactions while avoiding algorithm pandering.

- Happy new year to all!
- Started the year with friends and loved ones at home; then saw fireworks together from [[Kaferberg]]; then went to [[Zentralwäscherei]] and greeted cool and interesting people.

Moved out successfully
- Had to do a bunch of renovations in the room, but now it’s quite cozy
- Do miss the birds hanging out in the window of the old place
-
Finally settled on a [[komorebi]] config
- Tiling window managers rock!
- Altho they really don’t play well with some apps like game launchers and such
-
Happy new years!
- Obligatory resolution to make more nodes [[?]]

I was trying to set up [[Org Social]].
- As per the post [[Emacs Carnival: The people of Emacs]], I think it’ll be a good way to be more active in the Emacs community.
- But it requires Emacs 30.1.
- I’m only on Emacs 29.
- Upgrade ahoy!

I learned about grease.el via [[Emacs News]].
- Allows file operations by editing a buffer.
- Then I learned from the comments in that Reddit thread about wdired and similar capabilities.
- I just tried it, and it’s perfect for solving the problem I have of org-roam’s addition of a timestamp to the front of filenames, and how messy that is when I publish to the web, for those that were created a while ago before I changed how that works. (Or those created on mobile in Doom where I still haven’t changed it).
- With wdired I can select a rectangle of all those parts of the filenames in the buffer, and delete them, save the buffer, et volia, all the filenames updated! Neat.
- I have a niggling feeling that one day I may regret removing timestamps from filenames. Some people seem to prefer it that way. But I really don’t like filenames being used to store meta information.
