Re: IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads

Re: EDC, gadgets and gear stuff

Okay I move these to the Thinkpad section. Got the X60 today and it's excellent. Only 2GB RAM and a 24GB SSD in it, but it boots straight into Emacs without WM. It does already have an Atheros instead of the Broadcom, and Intel onboard gfx, so I can coreboot or libreboot it tonight. So far, it's a j...

Ridiculous.

Re: Spacemacs - Emacs? Vim? Why not both?

You won't believe it, but I just made a Spacemacs remix on Tuesday which I am test-driving on different PCs before I upload it. * Personally, I am not a big fan of Spacemacs (95% of the things featured I will never use, and those which I regularly use are not featured lol), but I understand why ther...

Re: Emacs tips and tricks

Just a note to self...

To print the output of a command directly to the point (equivalent to :r !command), for example here the output of all UUID devices:

Code: Select all

C-u M-! blkid -o export | grep -w "UUID"
Record a keyboard macro

Code: Select all

C-x (

Re: Mate, show me your screenshot!

Yeah, good default theme in Ubuntu Mate (actually, I did really install it and I am writing from it now - of course I switched to spectrwm/XFCE4). My theme of choice, if I had one, is Numix Red. It's in the repos of 'Buntu, at least for YY.

Interesting point.

Re: EDC, gadgets and gear stuff

I guess it will be an X60 this time, because the x220 is a bit over my planned budget. Originally, I planned to put only GNU shit on it (GuixSD for kicks). The x220 would cost around 3x more than an X60 (incl. SSD), so for borking around like an idiot the X60 is a better choice :D

Re: Xresources/Xdefaults colors

So here is the original CPC color theme. Well, at least the one that comes with BASIC 1.x Usually, the CPC only sets the foreground, cursor and background colors, depending on video mode (modes 0 1 2) you had different palettes and maximum colors to choose from. There were 27 colors in the palette, ...

How is the X230? I am thinking about getting either an X60, X220 or X230. I heard good things about the battery life, is that true?

Re: machinebacon

let's see how long it takes until I have enough of it. It's an emulation of the old Amstrad CPC colors (nope, not true -- the foreground should be pure yellow, I forgot to set that correctly, nvm). Fonts are tamsym.
