• Amin Bandali: Thinking about life - chat with Protesilaos

  In the recent weeks I've been engaging Prot as a coach to help review my new ffs package for GNU Emacs as I worked on preparing it for inclusion in GNU ELPA, as well as discussing other Emacs- and life-related topics.

    While we can’t bring you all of the side-conversations that took place, we did manage to get the talks recorded, and we’ll be writing them up shortly. We have some bad news on that front, though: due to a technical limitation with the setup that the university had in place, we only got the audio and slide feeds, and not the camera that should have been filming the presenters.

Spoiler alert: I’m in the boring bucket. If you’d like to be regaled with tales of Raspberry Pi k8s clusters, high-availability Proxmox configs, or obscure Tailscale topologies… well, Reddit is your friend.
