I knew I wasn't taking advantage of the power of multi-path undo possibilities in Emacs but it never clicked with me, until I found vundo thanks to @sacha's recent post.
This package visualizes the undo history as nodes that you can traverse and diff in a very familiar git branch paradigm. Quick post: https://shom.dev/posts/20250622_undo-finally-clicked-with-vundo/
Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll start building a web-based MUD (multi-user dungeon) using Guile Scheme and Spritely Goblins!
We've laid the ground work on the most recent Crafter Hours stream, so this stream will be where we really start working on the game logic and try to build a fun game from scratch.

Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll experiment with Spritely Goblins, a Guile Scheme library that provides a distributed programming model for writing secure, asynchronous code that can be called either locally or across a network.
Let's try it out to see if it might be a good fit for the Spring Lisp Game Jam next week!

Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll take a look at the `org-transclusion` package and investigate the ways that it can be used to dynamically assemble Org Mode files from other text, source, and Org files that you have on your system.
Writing a book? Writing a literate Emacs config? This package might be useful!

Last year I started a webring like it was 1999 with the System Crafters community. And for its first anniversary I wrote a blog post about How I accidentally got better at self-hosting and FOSS contributing.
Sometimes you don’t have to wait for someone else, you can be a catalyst. Happy Birthday Craftering!
Thanks to @daviwil for fostering a great community and to @kern for building Ringfairy and being so encouraging.
Could it be!? A ball cap that fits my giant noggin? Goes great with my neck beard.
#systemcrafters thanks @daviwil
I'm going to give a talk on how wonderful is #emacs in crafting your own tooling for an audience that probably does not even know about emacs. In part I'm inspired by the great #systemcrafters and the crafting spirit. (Thanks @daviwil !)
I have several ideas on how #emacs can empower you to create your own tools, but It would be great if you can give me some ideas to share the joy of emacs.
Yes! My #emacs init file is finally my own. Brought over the last few modules from the crafted-emacs config over to my own setup. Feels so good to have a complete overview over everything emacs in one location :-) Extremely grateful to the #systemcrafters community and @daviwil for making the emacs transition so much easier for me, especially on the focus on creating a config that is _supposed_ to be superseded by a personal config when you get more experienced...
Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll take a look at `jj` (Jujutsu), an interesting distributed version control system that intends to be more user-friendly than Git while having even more advanced features.
Can `jj` be a good replacement for Git in the long term? Let's find out!

Unfortunately tonight's #SystemCrafters stream won't take place because I came down with some kind of virus overnight.
We'll be back next week with another Crafter Hours stream on Monday/Wednesday and the usual stream on Friday!
In the meantime, check out the video I just posted about using the `match` expression in Guile Scheme!
Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll take a look at Gubar, a program that powers the status bar in Sway using the power of Guile Scheme!
This is a community project so we'll take some time trying it out, looking at the code, and discussing the plans for future development.

Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll discuss my conclusions after using Emacs in a terminal emulator as my primary working environment for the last few months.
We'll also spend some time hacking on my new configuration to make it work well again in graphical Emacs.

My test bed X270 now has a working #guix system installed. I am still wrestling with the config files for sway, but making good progress. Thanks @daviwil for the guidance through #systemcrafters
@daviwil hey, thanks for mentioning my talk in your latest live stream! (I watched it but wasn’t able to comment in the chat.) I hope I can answer everyone’s questions tomorrow when my presentation goes live. I haven’t made as much progress on my “Gypsum” project as I had hoped, but I think I have a solid foundation on which we (me and anyone who wants to contribute) can build.
I am also really looking forward to @lispwitch presentation.
@cwebber @spritely @daviwil sadly I'll miss it live but looking forward to watching the #SystemCrafters stream recording!
The best way (in my opinion and experience) to make Emacs look like you want, is to customize one or more of the excellent Prot's modus themes.
David Wilson (@daviwil) explain in his last live stream on System Crafters how to do that.
TIL #emacs has a dictionary search function that you call up with M-x dictionary-search :O
Just learned it during this #systemcrafters stream :D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByhVuBAHCPU
```
Search the WORD in DICTIONARY if given or in all if nil.
It presents the selection or word at point as default input and
allows editing it.
;; ...
Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 28.1.
```
In today's #SystemCrafters video, I'll show you how to get started with Guix Home by putting together a small "home-environment" configuration that customizes Bash and integrates your existing config files.
I'll also show you how to test your new config before applying it and how to roll back changes when things go horribly wrong!
