2020-02-19	Support SSH config for acer machine	William Carroll	1	-0/+5
	I'd like to setup a NixOS machine that runs in my flat to host my blog and other projects. For now it's a slow Acer running Manjaro Linux. I'm hoping that I can install NixOS on it remotely over SSH. But first! SSH access... I setup port forwarding from my router to this machine for: - HTTP - HTTPS - SSH
2020-02-17	Drop support for compton	William Carroll	3	-44/+0
	I'm finding myself running `pkill compton` offer. In the spirit of slimming down my configuration, I'm dropping support for compton.
2020-02-14	Enable lieer-google.timer	William Carroll	1	-0/+1
	After running `systemctl --user enable lieer-google.timer`, systemctl created a symlink pointing from timers.target.wants -> ../lieer-google.timer. I'm not sure if tracking symlinks in a git repository is such a useful idea. This commit reminds me that I could and should be using Nix to better manage symlink creation and destruction.
2020-02-13	Begin supporting notmuch in Emacs	William Carroll	2	-0/+16
	I'm borrowing from @tazjin's dotfiles, which are stored in Git on Borg. When you call `nix-build ~/briefcase/mail`, result will output a systemd units, which you should move to ~/.config/systemd/user/. The path to `gmi`, which is Lieer's executable, exists in /nix/store, and you can read it from the systemd unit file (i.e. lieer-google.service). Lieer synchronizes notmuch with Gmail and Gmail with notmuch. Here's a general sequence of commands that I ran to set everything up. Special thank you to @tazjin for helping me with all of this. These steps are not certified as a tutorial; I'm recalling them from memory. When I set this up things didn't work as expected immediately and I had to troubleshoot. ```shell > mkdir -p ~/mail/account.google > cd ~/mail/account.google > nix-env -iA nixpkgs.notmuch > notmuch setup > nix-build ~/briefcase/mail > cp ./result/lieer-google.{service,timer} ~/.config/systemd/user > rm ./result > systemctl --user cat lieer-google ...copy the /nix/store path to gmi... > notmuch new > /nix/store/gmi init ...follow the OAuth login flow... > ``` Unknowns? - Do I need to call `systemctl --user start lieer-google` at startup? Or should I move these units to user/default.target.wants? - Can I send email from notmuch? - How do I use notmuch to delete email? To respond to emails? To do anything? Todo: - Once this configuration stabilizes, I should package everything with Nix.
2020-02-12	Nixify simple_vim idea	William Carroll	1	-98/+0
	I previously had an alias defined as `simple_vim`, which would start an instance of Vim with a bare bones config. I had a to-do to Nixify it. That is now (mostly) to-done. When I try and install it with `nix-env -f ~/briefcase -iA tools.simple_vim`, Nix fails and says that pkgs.stdenv is undefined. I will need to fix this one day, but it is neither important nor urgent...
2020-02-12	Define briefcase alias to cd into my monorepo	William Carroll	1	-0/+3
	Defining an alias in my config.fish makes me realize that I should prune many of my abbreviations and change the ones that remain into aliases.
2020-02-10	Preferring to start wpcarros-emacs with dbus-launch	William Carroll	1	-1/+1
	When I ran `pass show some/password`, gpg, which uses pinentry would start its ncurses password prompt. For many this wouldn't be a problem but my current vterm version cannot send the <return> key to ncurses, so once that prompt appears, I cannot get rid of it without C-c and killing the shell. For a day or more I just opened suffered through this. Today I dug more into the issue and when I ran `pinentry --version` it warned that it couldn't connect to DBUS. After searching for more information on this, people with similar issues recommended starting their window managers with `dbus-launch`. I previously started Emacs with `dbus-launch`, but only because some i3 documentation told me to do so and I just copied them. Then I switched to EXWM and copied that pattern over. A friend of mine uses EXWM and starts his without calling `dbus-launch` but `exec emacs`. I mirrored this thinking that I no longer needed `dbus-launch`. What I didn't know, however, was that this friend was using a Nix-built Emacs (like me) except that his wrapped a native Emacs installation while mine doesn't. His natively wrapped Emacs installation has the proper variables set to interact with dbus and other important Linuxy things that I don't fully understand. Since I'm using a Nix-built Emacs, some of my variables are unset or set to different values than programs expect. This is why when I try and start `gnome-terminal` or `terminator`, they refuse to start and warn about many unset or incorrectly variables and not being able to bind to sockets, etc. This change reverts back to using `dbus-launch` until I have a better understanding of Linux, Nix, etc.
2020-02-07	Start lorri with sytemd	William Carroll	3	-5/+24
	Whenever possible, prefer starting things as systemd units instead of instantiating them in ~/.profile and other dotfiles.
2020-02-07	Start lorri daemon in ~/.profile	William Carroll	2	-16/+16
	This does two things: 1. Starts lorri daemon 2. Moves ssh-agent and docker daemon startup calls to ~/.profile I'm still not entirely sure when ~/.profile is evaluated... I'd like to use systemd to startup and manage these background services, but I currently don't have a strong enough desire to do this.
2020-02-07	Escape sub-shell in config.fish to prevent evaluation	William Carroll	1	-1/+1
	`stack path --local-doc-root` gets evaluated when I create a shell, which is not what I intended.
2020-02-07	Drop support for dkish	William Carroll	1	-7/+0
	dkish was an idea to quickly create REPLs for all sorts of languages like Haskell, Elixir, Clojure. I haven't used these, and if I started wanting these with my newfound comfort with Nix, I think I'd reach for that instead.
2020-02-05	Support hgwhat alias	William Carroll	1	-14/+15
	Support a Mercurial alias for listing the files that have changed on a particular branch. This commit is particularly noisy because I reformatted the above aliases to align with the new width.
2020-01-31	Rename dotfiles -> briefcase	William Carroll	5	-6/+6
	Renaming my mono-repo briefcase. I first introduced this commit in master, but it introduced a bug where one of two things would happen: 1. Emacs wouldn't start and would crash X. 2. Emacs would start but my keyboard wouldn't work. I learned some valuable debugging skills in the process. Here are some of them: When my keyboard was broken, I wanted to control my computer using my laptop. Thankfully this is possible by using `x2x`, which forward X events from the SSH client to the SSH host. ```shell > # I'm unsure if this is the exact command > ssh -X desktop x2x -west :0.0 ``` Git commit-local bisecting. I didn't need to do a `git bisect` because I knew which commit introduced the bug; it was HEAD, master. But -- as you can see from the size of this commit -- there are many changes involved. I wanted to binary search through the changes, so I did the following workflow using `magit`: - git reset --soft HEAD^ - git stash 1/2 of the files changed - re-run `nix-env -f ~/briefcase/emacs -i` - restart X session - If the problem persists, the bug exists in the non-stashed files. Repeat the process until you find the bug. In my case, the bug was pretty benign. Calling `(exwm/switch "Dotfiles")` at the bottom of `window-manager.el` was failing because "Dotfiles" is the name of a non-existent workspace; it should've been `(exwm/switch "Briefcase")`. There may have been more problems. I changed a few other things along the way, including exposing the env vars BRIEFCASE to `wpcarros-emacs` inside of `emacs/default.nix`. The important part is that this was a valuable learning opportunity, and I'm glad that I'm walking away from the two days of "lost productivity" feeling actually productive.
2020-01-31	Support building wpcarros-emacs	William Carroll	1	-2/+3
	I'm using a Makefile until I can remember the command: ```shell > nix-env -f . -i ``` This will install (i.e. `-i`) any derivations instantiated from the Nix expression resolvable by `-f`. Ideally the incantation will look something like this: ```shell > nix-env -f '<universe>' -iA emacs ``` Informing `nix-env` to install all of the derivations created by the expression at attribute `emacs` in my `<universe>` repository. For now two things are preventing this: 1. `emacs` isn't an attribute in my top-level expression defined in the `default.nix`. 2. If I do add `emacs` as an attribute and call the above command, my usage of `readTree` results in `pkgs` missing `.lib` and a few other stdlib commands that are available in `(import <nixpkgs> {})`. A fix for both of these should be forthcoming.
2020-01-30	Move move .emacs.d out of configs/shared	William Carroll	188	-27722/+0
	Moving all of my Emacs-related files into their own directory at the root of this repository.
2020-01-29	Drop support for ZSH	William Carroll	6	-1627/+0
	I've been using Fish consistently for about a month now, and I don't see myself switching back to ZSH. Some of the code from this commit should be published. I may get around to that one day. Before I did that, I would need to clean it up and document it, which I won't be doing today. Thank you, ZSH, for your service.
2020-01-29	Support env vars for {DESK,LAP,CLOUD}TOP devices	William Carroll	6	-38/+18
	I recently changed my hostname for my desktop and laptop from wpcarro.lon.corp.google.com -> zeno.lon.corp.google.com wpcarro2 -> seneca If you're curious, the names Zeno and Seneca come from famous Stoic philosophers. As you can see from this commit, my configuration depends on the values of these hostnames. Immediately impacted: - .profile - device.el Not immediately impacted: - configs/install - configs/uninstall - .ssh/config - .zshrc* * As a side note, I should stop supporting ZSH. Using an .envrc file helps me DRY up some of my configuration. Ideally I should only need to make changes to the .envrc file and then expect everything to work as expected. Let's see how that goes.
2020-01-28	Remove PAGER prefix from hgst abbreviation	William Carroll	1	-1/+1
	1. This isn't correct fish syntax. 2. I'm not sure that I need this.
2020-01-27	Add missing dependencies to constants.el	William Carroll	1	-0/+11
	Perhaps commits like these will become less frequent when I adopt Nix and a proper packaging strategy.
2020-01-27	Rename mono -> universe	William Carroll	3	-5/+11
	Update code that depends on my mono-repo being named "mono". I've renamed it to "universe", which explains the changes in this commit. TODO: Merge dotfiles into universe.
2020-01-27	Temporarily remove server-start from Emacs	William Carroll	1	-8/+0
	I'm having trouble debugging why `pgrep emacs` returns two PIDs instead of just one. Additionally when I call `emacsclient .` on the command line, I see a message... "Waiting for Emacs..." ...but when I cycle through all of my workspaces, I don't see any active buffers. This commit is part of a larger debugging effort to get this working as expected.
2020-01-27	Sketch ideas for YNAB integration	William Carroll	1	-0/+56
	The end goal is to have some functions that help me manage my Monzo and YNAB accounts. YNAB (i.e. youneedabudget.com) doesn't support Monzo integrations. However, both services offer APIs. Here I'm sketching ideas for what the API integrations might look like. Coming soon: monzo.el.
2020-01-27	Add maybe.el dependency to fn in prelude.el	William Carroll	1	-0/+1
	Not adding it as a top-level dependency since maybe.el depends on on prelude.el. This shouldn't be a circular dependency when the requirement happens in the function's scope though.
2020-01-27	Rename alarm.el -> egg-timer.el	William Carroll	1	-1/+2
	Add path to `egg-timer.el` module for now until it's published on MELPA.
2020-01-27	Change Emacs startup	William Carroll	2	-3/+2
	Remove `dbus-launch` and prefer simply `exec emacs`. Add `--no-site-file` and `--no-site-lisp` flags. Temporarily disable `google-stuff.el` because it's unavailable with the `--no-site-lisp` flag. This should all be fixed when I fully nixify my Emacs.
2020-01-27	Disable auto-fill-mode and company-mode in IRC buffers	William Carroll	1	-0/+3
	Why? - `company-mode` is too noisy in IRC buffers. - `auto-fill-mode` inserts newline characters that end up each being their own message, which means that I make more noise than I should in IRC.
2020-01-27	Support nix-eval fish function	William Carroll	1	-2/+8
	Wrapping the `nix eval` incantation in a fish function for two reasons: 1. Document that this is how to evaluate Nix from a file. 2. Provide a more ergonomic way of evaluating Nix from a file.
2020-01-27	Enable ivy-mode globally	William Carroll	1	-1/+1
	This takes care of my outstanding TODO of understanding why something ivy was being used and other times it wasn't. It turns out that there is a generic `completing-read` function that many Emacs packages consume. `ivy-mode` ensures that when that function is called it is used instead of the default Emacs completing package. I'm still unsure of the difference between ivy and counsel. My best guess currently is that counsel is the narrowing framework and ivy is the integration of the narrowing framework with `completing-read`. Swiper must be the integration with incremental {forward,backward} search.
2020-01-27	Add missing require for ivy-clipmenu	William Carroll	1	-0/+1
	Adding the missing dependency requirement for keybindings.el
2020-01-27	Delete alarm.el	William Carroll	1	-85/+0
	Since I've exported alarm.el as egg-timer.el, prefer requiring the latter, which is in a separate repository.
2020-01-25	Prefer keynav daemonize	William Carroll	1	-1/+1
	Instead of `keynav &`.
2020-01-24	Add additional KBD for scrot/select	William Carroll	1	-0/+4
	As mentioned in the TODO, I need this redundant KBD for my Ergodox.
2020-01-24	Support alarm.el	William Carroll	3	-22/+86
	- Renames productivity-timer.el -> alarm.el - Support functionality - Whitelists alarm.el in init.el
2020-01-24	Define pkill Emacs function	William Carroll	1	-0/+6
	I can kill process from Emacs instead of creating a terminal and using that.
2020-01-24	Prefer opening locate buffers using dired-find-file-other-window	William Carroll	1	-1/+1
	`dired-display-file` opens the file in another window but does not focus that window. `dired-find-file-other-window` does what `dired-display-file` does except it focuses that window.
2020-01-23	Support nix/sly-from-universe	William Carroll	1	-0/+44
	This function builds a version of SBCL using `nix.buildLisp` and points `sly` to the built executable. The result is a REPL with access to your project's dependencies, which is quite useful. One drawback at the moment is that if new dependencies are added to the project, I think I need to rebuild SBCL using nix and restart sly.
2020-01-23	Exposing the text-mode snippest to lisp-mode	William Carroll	1	-0/+1
	This gives me access to some generic-purpose snippets that allow me to easily insert characters like this: ✓ and ✗!
2020-01-23	Assert that the labels used in the bookmark/magit-status are defined	William Carroll	1	-8/+14
	My current self hoping to help my future self.
2020-01-23	Move the location of tazjins-depot	William Carroll	1	-2/+2
	Since I spend a decent amount of time scouring the excellent work of my colleague, @tazjin, I figured having some functions and KBDs setup to make this work cheaper would be beneficial. Also preferring the name `"depot"` to `"tazjins-depot"`. I don't think the namespace `"tazjin-"` is useful at this time. I'm considering renaming my mono-repo `"universe"`... a bit grandiose, but hey, let me get my kicks.
2020-01-23	Explicitly set that yasnippet directory	William Carroll	1	-0/+1
	I'd like to limit the available snippets to those snippets that I have explicitly defined. I ran into this problem when defining the `defpackage` snippet for `lisp-mode`; it appeared that another snippet for `defpackage` existed somewhere on my machine.
2020-01-23	Support set/{super,sub}set	William Carroll	1	-0/+28
	Define predicates for testing whether two sets are supersets or subsets.
2020-01-23	Define CL snippet for a module header	William Carroll	1	-0/+9
	Since I'm new to the CL world, snippets are a useful note-taking analogue with the added benefit of potentially speeding up my workflow should the muscle-memory set.
2020-01-23	Define CL snippet for an untyped function	William Carroll	1	-0/+7
	For the times when I'd like to be DyNaMiC.
2020-01-23	Update dired-mode-map KBDs	William Carroll	1	-3/+5
	- Ensure `"<SPC>"` is available for my "leader" KBDs - Define `"o"` as `#'dired-find-file-other-window`
2020-01-23	Support CL snippet for a typed function	William Carroll	1	-0/+8
	This depends on the `type` macro that's defined in my mono-repo. Perhaps another reason why my dotfiles needs to be merged into the mono-repo.
2020-01-22	Support bookmark/magit-status	William Carroll	1	-1/+16
	Add function to quickly get `magit-status` buffers for some repositories in which I spend time.
2020-01-22	Support bookmark/from-label	William Carroll	1	-5/+6
	Add function to resolve a bookmark from its label.
2020-01-22	Format bookmark.el	William Carroll	1	-2/+4
	Move `bookmark/install-kbds?` to the top of the module.
2020-01-22	Support additional bookmarks	William Carroll	1	-0/+6
	- Adds bookmark for my mono-repo - Adds bookmark for tazjins-depot
2020-01-22	Support magit-popup	William Carroll	1	-0/+2
	One of my Google Emacs libraries depends on the `magit-popup` library. I believe it's `fig-status` and I'm unsure why that library didn't ship with `magit-popup`... tune in next week for more packaging woes.
