I'm blogging about Emacs, Drupal, php and exciting subjects

If you've ever wished buffer-switching in Emacs felt a bit more like what you find in modern editors like VS Code or Sublime Text, the centaur-tabs package might just be the upgrade you're looking for. While Emacs excels at managing multiple open buffers, the experience can sometimes feel abstract—especially for users coming from tab-oriented editors. centaur-tabs brings a visual and intuitive tabbed interface to Emacs, improving buffer organization without compromising its flexible nature.

In December 2024, Google Search Central quietly dropped a figure that raised my eyebrows: only 0.017% of crawled websites are cacheable. As someone who regularly configures caching on my own websites, this statistic feels both shocking and deeply concerning. How can the web be so far behind on something so foundational to performance?

The Emacs editor is often a point of contention in discussions among software developers—especially those raised on the traditional Unix philosophy of building software: “do one thing and do it well.” For many, Emacs is either a miraculous, all-in-one productivity environment or a monolithic anomaly that breaks all the rules Unix tried to teach us.

In a digital world increasingly dominated by data collection and surveillance, the demand for privacy-first alternatives is on the rise. Among the notable responses to this trend is Qwant, a European search engine that positions itself as a defender of digital privacy and an ethical alternative to mainstream platforms like Google and Bing.

Whats happening to the world these years. AI has been in development for around 50 years. Now some smart guy made a semi AI languagemodel chatbot, and now we cannot think for our selfes any longer??

Anywhere I se everyone praises the almighty AI chatbots that have answers for all and anything. I miss the times when we developed our own code and wrote our own content for our webpages. Okay a chatbot can make 2000 words in a second and now I might have used a minute of my own braintime to write this small shit of an article.

Peter Prevos has developed Emacs Writing Studio (EWS), a specialized Emacs profile designed for academic writing. EWS leverages org-mode for document assembly, citar for bibliography management, and denote for knowledge management. This setup is tailored for academics, a significant segment of Emacs users.

Navigating in Emacs

It is important to be able to navigate your files easily.

Thanks to the customizability of emacs you can change the default behavior in a few easy steps.

Change your file search to swiper like this:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-s") 'counsel-grep-or-swiper)

Domain migrations can be a necessary step for businesses looking to rebrand, expand, or consolidate their online presence. However, they come with significant SEO risks that, if not properly managed, can lead to traffic drops, ranking losses, and long-term visibility issues.

Here are some critical considerations to keep in mind when handling a domain migration:

1. Transfer of Signal Data

Google heavily relies on user behavior signals to assess user experience. When migrating to a new domain, there's a potential risk of signal loss or disruption.

A high bounce rate can negatively impact your website’s performance, indicating that visitors are leaving your site without engaging further. Here’s how to reduce your bounce rate and create a more engaging user experience.

1. Optimize Page Load Speed

Fast-loading pages are critical to retaining visitors. Tools like Google PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix can identify bottlenecks and suggest optimizations. Compress images, leverage browser caching, and minimize HTTP requests to improve speed.
