Newbie here, with my wannabe digital garden created with #Emacs and published with #OrgMode: 68MB (yes, M!) on Windows, becoming 77MB after loading and evaluating the publish.el file and publishing the whole thing (20~ish-something pages).

Empty zip file of VSCodium, just downloaded and started: 395MB at the "Get started with VSCodium" first screen...

@tymoty jsem už pár let na kombu mbsync (isync), notmuch a emacs. Díky mbsync mám všechno lokálně dostupný offline, zindexovaný přes notmuch a v emacsu nejen že čtu maily, ale můžu na ně odkazovat přímo z org mode poznámek nebo organizovat důležitý věci přes org agendu. Není to úplně řešení pro lidi co emacs nepoužívají, nějakou dobu trvá si na to zvyknout, ale zas nerd flex level +100

Whether they’re called bookmarks, favorites, or weblinks, we all accumulate a large number of them over time. At some point, it all becomes overwhelming and needs organizing.

So, I wrote a #Python tool for
collecting and categorizing my Web Links in #Emacs #Orgmode.

@lemeteore The python link isn't dead anymore 😉

Heh. The flake for my infra is only 4kb smaller than the flake for my desktop.

The former is a configuration for two live servers and a work-in-progress one, the latter is my desktop config, including my Emacs config.

Apples to oranges, but still. I find delight in looking at the mess my flakes are after being tangled out. I have no idea how I'd manage this without #OrgMode.
