org-gnosis node & my fork of org-roam-ui Project Name: org-gnosis | Organization of Gnosis I’ve been working on a “roam-like” note taking system, to replace & update my current org-roam workflow. This post is a minor update on the current state of it’s development. Goals The goals of org-gnosis are as follows: ...
I just uploaded a short video about Emacs 30 Built-in Completion UI & Styles, which you have find here. Video notes: When referring to “Emacs Completions”, I refer to Completion Styles & UI I’ve often relied on third-party packages to emulate features from other text editors. For instance, I’ve long used vertico, corfu and orderless. While I still recommend these packages, I became curious about using Emacs without depending on third-party options. My current setup tries to emulate my workflow with the packages mentioned above. The catalyst that pushed me to try the built-in completion is the addition of completion-preview-mode in Emacs 30. Mini-buffer completions Emacs does not enable “vertical” completions for the mini-buffer by default, but you can enable fido-vertical-mode which comes built-in with Emacs. fido-mode is an enhanced icomplete-mode that emulates ido-mode, also referred to as fake ido-mode. Completion Styles Changing completion-styles example: (setf completion-styles '(basic flex)) ...

NonGuix also provides an iso image that comes with the full linux kernel Download nonguix iso Visit nonguix releases page Download the iso image & write it to a USB stick Example dd command to use: ...
org-roam was my preferred tool for note taking & journaling, but since it’s author seems to have stepped down & it’s implementation is quite different from how I’d approach making a zettelkasten for Emacs, I decided to start working on a new package, named org-gnosis. Goals of this project The primary objective is to achieve full compatibility with existing org-roam notes while resolving current database implementation issues. These goals were met successfully on the first day of development. ...
