Fresh exploration of a self-hosted instance, fresh #introduction. I’m Serra, a #MagicTheGathering player, an #Elixir programmer, an aspiring enthusiast of #Matrix and Spritely. I recently got into a kick of improving some basic systems in my life, evidence will eventually show if I’m just shaving yaks. I’ve been trying to migrate from vscode to #emacs, and I’ve taken up on #Obsidian.
Currently living at @jump_spider@floofy.tech as well, I may migrate that account to this one if all goes as planned.

I love #Emacs but never use it for coding since I like Kate/KWrite so much for programming. I also like the joe editor because its cursor and its selection block are separate.
But for writing and note-taking, if you're only doing text, you can't beat Emacs Org-mode.
There are also some interesting distraction-free writing modes like this one:

Thanks for this. I agree that working on a text helps you think things through. You shortcut this with AI and do not understand things deeply.
By the way: You got on the wrong path much earlier than when you started to use AI. Using #emacs is a big mistake. You should use #ed, since it is the standard editor:

How Emacs does things: flyspell's way of tracking misspelled words

One of my favorite #emacs/tramp things is that in find-file I can say:
/ssh:some-server.com|docker:some-container:/conf/some-conf.yaml
to view/edit a file inside a docker container on a remote host and that, after opening said file, M-x shell gives me a shell inside said container and dired is available as well to browse directory structures.
