También necesito algo así en Emacs que cumpla con cada uno de esos requisitos.

Probablemente ya existan paquetes que puedan combinarse para alcanzar ese objetivo.

#Emacs #OrgRoam

Last week I started using #OrgRoam to attempt to replace #OrgBrain and do a better job of cataloging stuff for research. It's been interesting so far, I'm not sure how well it integrates into my workflow yet. #emacs #orgmode

Here is the case :
Running linux, emacs/doomemacs/spacemacs with orgmode x orgroam, or neorg.
You need to set up your system for (self) study. How and what do you do?
#linux #neorg #emacs #orgmode #orgroam

It's been a while I refreshed my pinned #introduction toot, and I figured today will be a fitting day to write a new one.

Hi! Despite the avatar, I'm not a furry1, I'm a boring cishet white dude. Despite my privileged status, I might be considered a "terrorist"2 in some weird jurisdictions, and some companies3 will consider me a "malicious actor", because I built myself a crawler defense system that serves them an infinite maze of garbage. To them, I say: fuck you. I'm a Vengeful Mouse.

I also have the privilege of being able to admire the human body in all shapes and forms, even such "grotesque" things as a female presenting nipple (like this one: :female_presenting_nipple:, not to be confused with the :manboob:, an entirely different and totally not grotesque thing). I wish this was the norm, rather than a privilege.

I'm a serial drive-by contributor, I have my fingerprints all over the internet. I have code in #QMK, #Kaleidoscope, and #Chrysalis, but I contributed to #Forgejo, #niri, and a whole lot of other things too. I find great joy in playing with new things, and submitting patches or other contributions. I used to be a #Debian developer, I've put #Hy in production, and lately I've been building #NixOS configurations not only as a literate #OrgMode document, with with #OrgRoam. I am extremely normal and neurotypical.

Apart from these very normal things, I use #NixOS to boot into #Emacs, which is the real operating system I use, like a very sane, completely neurotypical person would. I also tend to live-toot (very verbosely) all kinds of shenanigans I'm up to, because I always forget I have a blog.

While I do wrangle code for a living in a variety of languages (in whatever language necessary, I'm a generalist! But if I can choose, I turn to #Rust, although #Lisp languages are also very dear to me), if it were up to me, I'd much prefer wrangling other kinds of words4 than programming language symbols. Sadly, we're not living in a world that makes possible, so I had no choice but become a #luddite and so can you.

But I'm not all about tech5! I'm also Dad to wonderful Twins, and Husband to my Wife, who not only puts up with my crazy, but gently6 fans the flames too. I may occassionally toot about #parenting, too.

I may or may not have an unhealthy addiction to footnotes7.

1. Nope, I'm not in denial stage, I do not work in infosec. ↩︎

2. I'm anti-fascist. ↩︎

3. Like Anthropic. ↩︎

4. Short stories like this toot, or The Tragedy of Byr (which might need an explanation to really understand what's going on). ↩︎

5. I wish I could leave tech, really. ↩︎

6. Where "gently" is either an eyeroll and more wood thrown onto the campfire, or straight up lighting up the neighbourhood, figuratively speaking. ↩︎

7. ...if you haven't noticed yet... ↩︎

Nearing the end of a work project means gathering, adding to, and aggressively cross-linking my org-roam notes so I can find everything again after I forget it all next week.

#emacs #orgmode #orgroam

@itsfoss non-free software alert! A complaint shall be raised to the Org-roam headquarters!

#emacs #orgmode #orgroam

'Scuse the mess. I've got CS50 notes and LoFi Girl music mirrored on the TV, writing in org Roam in Spacemacs on my Linux Framework12 and a pomo going.

What other geek nonsense am I missing? 🤣

#CS50 #OrgRoam #Emacs #Spacemacs #programming #LoFiGirl #framework12 #Linux

@ianoxley @szpon That's a lovely idea. I often want to see the last N items I've saved, ideally without invoking dired mode on the org-roam directory. As always one could script it ...

#emacs #orgmode #orgroam

I like using org-roam to gather wild ideas... But sometimes I would like to put them in the table. For example, I have bunch of stuff with links and prices, but then I would like to put them in the table and count total. Or I just decided I want to present data differently. Is there a nice way to do it without small amount of manual work? I can do it manually, but maybe there is a better way.

Reading Papers And Taking Notes With Org Roam

https://irreal.org/blog/?p=13279

#Emacs #OrgRoam #Zotero

My dear personal knowledge base managers, how do you group/split your notes?

Let me explain.

1. We have a note "Python" and a link to "Python Tutorial" a note where we have everything about Python syntax (variable definition, functions, classes, if/else, for, etc.).

Or

2. We have a note "Python" and links to many other notes like "Python variables", "Python functions", "Python classes", "Python if/else", "Python for", etc.

Or maybe

3. We have a note "Python" and a link to "Python Tutorial" note that has links to many other notes like "Python variables", "Python functions", "Python classes", "Python if/else", "Python for", etc.

Now I'm thinking about how to make it comfortable to search/read it in the future.

#orgroam #logseq #obsidian #personalknowledgebase #personalknowledgemanagement

I should have moved to org-re-reveal sooner. It helped me eliminate a bunch of my own #redundant #elisp #functions for formatting the title page of a #slidedeck.

Coincidentally, I should have reread the #orgroam #manual sooner, so I could have eliminated a bunch of my own redundant elisp functions related to capture #templates earlier than today.

Sure, we’d all like to get better faster, but sometimes the impetus is just not there until an appropriate task arrives.

Happy Emacsing!

7964 files are inside org-roam, 5984 of those are "dailies", which makes
sense considering that I have 19 org-roam-capture-templates and 102
org-roam-dailies-capture-templates. 25154 "nodes" in total.

I have 393 unique tags, 234 used only once, most frequently used is
`meeting'.

1.7G of data in~/org-attachments across 6095 files. Mostly png (2080),
cf (779), and jpeg (599) files with a median file size of 20K.

Good lord, #Vanta is so limited in features.

My self-designed system (using #orgmode and #orgql and #orgsuperlink) can handle inventory, shadow it (via API calls to SSO vendor), risk register, regulations, compliance tracking and a bunch more. And it can work as a database for lookups.

Granted it's a little bit more demanding (a few keypresses instead of clicking on the website) but it's infinitely expandable and fully integrated across its modules (#orgroam).

Vanta, on the other hand, does come with very simplified stuff. For SOC2, I see only 67 pre-defined risk scenarios, which are so vague as to be meaningless.

What do you mean "personnel misused assets and data is lost?"

What assets? What data? Lost in what way?

If I tried to mitigate this risk (properly) I'd spend weeks ensuring everything is backed up and then testing those backup systems. That's unrealistic.

But that's the kind of feel-good vagueness one can expect from vendors. They don't sell to infosec, they sell to management.

My baseline at the moment is >200 basic risks that are split per-system, with specific steps for mitigation (and if the same risk occurs in different systems, that's a different risk since the outcomes will be different and need to be handled appropriately.)

So... why does Vanta exist, exactly?

Sure it can pull data in near-real time from some systems (a lot of our systems literally can't hook into it)... but that's a non-issue anyway if you just maintain your inventory a little bit each week. It's not like massive infra changes happen often.

Given that, the only answer I can think of is to pull wool over their customer's eyes and give them the impression of compliance, the impression of less effort, while sweeping the real security implications under the rug.

You don't get security by being vague.

Another three hours of prep for my "Curse of Strahd" campaign today. The information is scattered all across the book, but thanks to org-roam and the ability to link everything, I'm starting to get a much clearer picture.
I cannot show a picture form the orgroam-ui because for spoilers. But it is helping me so much...

#emacs #orgroam #orgmode #pnp

I don't think I've ever had this much fun preparing a D&D campaign! I'm currently diving into Curse of Strahd and using Emacs with org-roam to organize my prep. Being able to create notes and link them together while reading the book is a game-changer for understanding this complex campaign. The bigger picture is slowly coming together, and I can see how everything is connected.Thanks EMACS :-)

#emacs #orgmode #orgroam

Наконец-то начал вести свой org-roam репозиторий. Назвал его mind-palace (чертоги разума). И уже добавил первые две заметки про emacs и org-mode!

Главное отличие от моих предыдущих попыток вести записи, это то, что они будут вестись на русском языке и будут написаны "своими словами", а не скопипащены из тырнетов (буду только проверять факты на достоверность).

#org-roam #emacs #org-mode

Is there some way to visualise #orgroam notes as mind map of some sorts? Or as a dashboard?
