Context Recently I was trying to reproduce a bug with citeproc.el and org-mode in emacs.

Context See hibernate-pocket, hibernate-pocket-2 Serial console hardware Manual is unclear about name of connector (J16 in schematics, J17 in manual).

Context See hibernate-pocket Testing continued following a suggestion of gordon1, unload the mediatek module first.

Configuration script: https://docs.kernel.org/power/basic-pm-debugging.html kernel is 6.15.4-1~exp1+reform20250628T170930Z State of things normal reboot works Either from the console, or from sway, the intial test of reboot mode hibernate fails.

My web pages are (still) in ikiwiki, but lately I have started authoring things like assignments and lectures in org-mode so that I can have some literate programming facilities.

See web-stacker for the background. yantar92 on #org-mode pointed out that a derived backend would be a cleaner solution.

The Emacs part is superceded by a cleaner approach I the upcoming term I want to use KC Lu's web based stacker tool.

Problem description(s) For some of its cheaper dedicated servers, OVH does not provide a KVM (in the virtual console sense) interface.

Spiffy new terminal emulators seem to come with their own terminfo definitions.

Unfortunately schroot does not maintain CPU affinity 1.

Background So apparently there's this pandemic thing, which means I'm teaching "Alternate Delivery" courses now.

I have lately been using org-mode literate programming to generate example code and beamer slides from the same source.

What?

1 Background Apparently motivated by recent phishing attacks against @unb.ca addresses, UNB's Integrated Technology Services unit (ITS) recently started adding banners to the body of email messages.

Introduction Debian is currently collecting buildinfo but they are not very conveniently searchable.

Today I was wondering about converting a pdf made from scan of a book into djvu, hopefully to reduce the size, without too much loss of quality.

After a mildly ridiculous amount of effort I made a bootable-usb key.

Umm.

I've been a mostly happy Thinkpad owner for almost 15 years.

(Debian) packaging and Git.

In April of 2012 I bought a ColorHug colorimeter.

It's spring, and young(ish?)

I've been experimenting with a new packaging tool/workflow based on marking certain commits on my integration branch for export as quilt patches.

I have been in the habit of using R to make e.g. histograms of test scores in my courses.

It seems kind of unfair, given the name, but duplicity really doesn't like to be run in parallel.

As of version 0.17, gitpkg ships with a hook called quilt-patches-deb-export-hook.

I use a lot of code in my lectures, in many different programming languages.

Before I discovered you could just point your browser at http://search.cpan.org/meta/Dist-Name-0.007/META.json to automagically convert META.yml and META.json, I wrote a script to do it.

I recently decided to try maintaining a Debian package (bibutils) without committing any patches to Git.

It turns out that pdfedit is pretty good at extracting text from pdf files.

Dear Julien; After using notmuch for a while, I came to the conclusion that tags are mostly irelevant.

What is it?

racket (previously known as plt-scheme) is an interpreter/JIT-compiler/development environment with about 6 years of subversion history in a converted git repo.

I'm thinking about distributed issue tracking systems that play nice with git.

I'm collecting information (or at least links) about functional programming languages on the the JVM.

You have a gitolite install on host $MASTER, and you want a mirror on $SLAVE.

Recently I was asked how to read mps (old school linear programming input) files.

So this is in some sense a nadir for shell scripting. 2 lines that do something out of 111.
