Marcin Borkowski: Interacting with an unreliable process https://mbork.pl/2025-07-14_Interacting_with_an_unreliable_process #emacs

Emacs org-mode includes the function `org-latex-preview`, which provides image overlays for LaTeX formulas in the buffer. As it turns out, it mostly works in non-org-mode buffers. It does throw warnings. I have suppressed them with this little wrapper:

```
(defun tws-latex-preview (&optional ARG)
(interactive "P")
(let ((warning-minimum-level ':error))
(org-latex-preview ARG)))
```

Not rigorously tested, but seems to work for making pretty comments in my source code.

#Emacs + #eglot + #flycheck + #magit, optionally #corfu, is a pretty good #IDE for #C, #Python, and #Rust on #Debian 13 #trixie.

But less so for #JavaScript, because typescript-language-server is not in Debian

Here's a workaround by @tiang:

I'll be going live again on #PeerTube to work on The #Emacs Reader.

This time I'll be finishing the work necessary to enable handling of the same document across multiple Emacs windows.

Join me here in ~25mins:

Apparently evil-mode and visual-line-mode can work together! You just have to (setq evil-respect-visual-line-mode t) before evil is loaded!

For years, I've wanted this in org-mode! I just assumed that it was a bug that evil-mode could not work with visual line mode! Please tell me I'm not the only person who didn't know this! What else do I not know about Emacs? What's your best Emacs tip? #emacs #spacemacs

In #mastodonEl, a great Mastodon client for #Emacs, I was putting point on content warnings and read more folds to press RET, like a chump! This is specially "difficult" because they don't start in the first column. But there are commands mastodon-tl-toggle-spoiler-text-in-toot (bound to c) and mastodon-tl-fold-post-toggle (bound to !) which work with point anywhere in a toot!

no. you should get a slower laptop

I relate #Sandewall's call for situation calculus actions and the shared environment / database to be moved into the kernel viz my #literateProgramming emacs useage.

People always said emacs /was/ the operatingsystem, didn't they.

Particularly, computer programs various send requests for actions to the emacs server where they are also seen playing out at they actually happen in real time.

#gnus #emacs #nnimap #dovecot

An update to @sacha 's gnus local imap pipeline config, due to dovecot 2.3 -> 2.4 breaking changes:

1. Note mail_location option split up. Specify all options like this:

(nnimap-shell-program "/usr/libexec/dovecot/imap -o mail_driver=maildir -o mail_path=$HOME/Maildir -o mail_inbox_path=$HOME/Maildir/INBOX -o mailbox_list_layout=fs")

Alternatively, put everything into system config.

2. System config must have these two lines:

dovecot_config_version = 2.4.1
dovecot_storage_version = 2.4.1

3. Official migration guides:

<https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.1/installation/upgrade/2.3-to-2.4.html>
<https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.1/installation/upgrade/2.4-to-2.4.x.html>

P.S.

Offtopic. Helpful resource on the upgrade: <https://willem.com/blog/2025-06-04_breaking-changes/>

Sample configs: <https://source.willem.com/dovecot-2.4-sample-config/>

mastodon.el users who are running it against mastodon.social: Do you ever get slow replies or timeouts or images not loading? I've been seeing a bunch of those lately even when normal webui access works. I wonder if it might be some kind of rate limiting issue? Currently it's speedy but yesterday it was struggling quite a bit.

Next time it happens I will try to enable url-debug to see if I can see anything in that. Other debugging ideas are welcome too!
