Okay this must be a very general problem and I am sure there are clever solutions to it. I recently started to automatize a lot of my backup routines with #elisp and #emacs. What I am struggling with is that I constantly have to enter the password for every sudo command, so this is quite annoying. For the email I already use an authinfo file and somehow I should also be able to do that here too I just don't know how.

[Atelier Emacs] Pour avoir des informations sur #Emacs dans un #format visio avec voix humaine et video, il y a ce mardi 1er avril l'atelier Emacs en ligne : https://emacs-doctor.com/
Cela pourra porter sur occur, ibuffer, transpose-table ou table-remote --- tous installés par défaut (et méconnus ou sous-estimés).
Il y a aussi le #format texte de la documentation (avec le "Read The Fabulous Manual" !) et le #format autoformation (cette dernière est très souvent la plus utilisée).
Happy emacsing!

For starters, excellent early history showing that unix and lisp are not direct relatives.

One small note that occurs to me is that in Mashey and Kernighan '84, they point at unix's shell's success at stopping people more C. 1/?? (but two for my purposes here)

Today is the day I say goodbye to Emacs and will go all-in a Real Python IDE, finally will make use of the right-click mouse button!

Does anyone have a good recommendation for shell/bash script replacements in 2025?

Thinking maybe guile?

I'd like a scriptable mastodon client.

First I'd like to see a view with the most recent post from every user I follow.

Second, I'd add a summary of hashtags from that user.

If I had a scriptable client, I'd probably add many features.

Oh hey, maybe there's a scriptable #emacs client?

I admit I’m lost with emacs completion (and related feature) packages.

Company
Vertico
Counsel
Corfu
Helm

I don’t know which ones are responsible for what… which ones complement each other, and which ones are substitutes?

Gadget question: I am looking for a tablet for #Zotero. Nothing too fancy, nothing too expensive, 11"-13". I don’t like iPadOS but prefer it over Android. Is there a Chromebook Tablet with decent hardware that can run native Zotero7 (and perhaps #Emacs)? Is there any decent Linux tablet? Those options would be preferable to the base iPad.

Is there a way to check what init file #emacs is using? I've looked in all of the usual locations that the init file is normally stored, and its not in any of those places, but emacs is using an outdated version of my init file on startup and I have no idea why or how
