  <p>Looking at how the kiddo dives deeply into one interest and then moves on to another, and how she gets such satisfaction from sharing those interests with me, I think part of why <a href="https://social.sachachua.com/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Emacs</span></a> has been a long-lasting interest of mine is that it involves an endless space of novel possibilities that is entirely because of a wonderful community.</p>

  <p>I wonder if someone's already written a newbie-friendly <a href="https://social.sachachua.com/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Emacs</span></a> Customize-based interface for defining and saving keyboard shortcuts, function aliases, and other little things that could make it easier for people to make Emacs more comfortable for themselves.</p>

  <p>I want my <a href="https://social.sachachua.com/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Emacs</span></a> <a href="https://social.sachachua.com/tags/orgmode" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OrgMode</span></a> `#+begin_export html ... #+end_export` blocks to open in web-mode, not html-mode. I customized `org-src-lang-modes` and now `org-edit-special` does the right thing. Yay Emacs!</p>

  <p>I pulled together a bunch of beginner-oriented links from past <a href="https://social.sachachua.com/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Emacs</span></a> News and started mapping out topics. <a href="https://sachachua.com/web/beginner-map.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://sachachua.com/web/beginner-map.html</a></p>

  <p>I want to quickly look up and add links. [consult-omni](<a href="https://github.com/armindarvish/consult-omni" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/armindarvish/consult-omni</a>) lets me search within <a href="https://social.sachachua.com/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Emacs</span></a> instead of switching to a web interface. After I set up consult-omni-google with a Google custom search engine and a JSON API key, I can call it with my shortcut: `M-g w`. Using `M-n` for future history pulls in the word at point. Then I can select a site and use Embark to insert with `C-. i` or copy with `C-. w`.<br><br>My config: <a href="https://sachachua.com/dotemacs#consult-omni" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://sachachua.com/dotemacs#consult-omni</a><br></p>

  <p>I followed the directions at <a href="https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2021/08/enable-hibernate-ubuntu-21-10/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2021/08/enable-hibernate-ubuntu-21-10/</a> to set up a swap partition and enable hibernate. Now I can pause whatever I'm doing in Linux in order to switch to Windows to play Minecraft Bedrock with the kiddo, and then switch back to Linux afterwards.</p>

  <p>I noticed out-of-sync subtitles when I used <a href="https://social.sachachua.com/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ffmpeg</span></a> to combine an animated gif with audio and subtitles. Turns out all I needed to do was to bump up the fps with the fps filter in order to get the video to play smoothly.</p>
