• Liking [[elfeed]] so far.

  • A bit more setup to do though. [[Setting up elfeed]].

• Found this rather excellent-looking site referencing some of my some of my info on how to publish your site with org-publish: https://drollery.org/build/

• As part of the above saga of updates, I will now endeavour to update org-roam to 2.3.0 on spacemacs on my laptop.

  • That will involve updating packages.

  • That means I should probably also update spacemacs itself.
  • One or both of those will probably break something.
  • Yeah, already failing when trying to update packages. Sigh. Try to update spacemacs first then.
  • Now: error message that I need at least emacs 28.2. I'm on 28.1. Sigh.
  • Tried it from flatpak. That still doesn't work.
  • I'm going to try building from source. That worked once before…
  • OK, it wasn't that bad to be honest. The compilation, at least. Took about 10/15 minutes?
  • Now installing 305 packages… annoyingly you can't just leave it unattended, as occassionally it asks to compile something.
  • Miraculously, that seems to have worked!

• I should find out if there's a way of pinning packages to particular versions in both Doom and spacemacs, so that:

  • (a) I can make sure they don't randomly update and break at a time when I don't have time to do anything about it.
  • (b) I can make sure they're always on the same version between mobile and laptop.
