Large language models are increasingly useful for developers and writers who spend much of their time inside Emacs. Instead of switching between a browser or external app, you can bring AI assistance directly into your workflow. One of the most elegant tools for this is gptel, an Emacs package that provides a simple interface to local or remote LLMs.
Modern websites face increasing pressure to comply with privacy regulations such as the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive. Handling cookies and user consent properly is not just a legal requirement—it also affects data accuracy, website performance, and user trust.
Link building remains one of the most effective – and challenging – disciplines within SEO. But a lot has changed in recent years, and in 2025 it’s no longer enough to simply submit your website to a handful of link directories. Search engines have become smarter, and competition tougher. At the same time, good links are more valuable than ever before.
When I want to test and learn a single package in Emacs it suits my best to create a simple empty emacs configuration directory in my src folder.
mkdir test-emacs-config
Then put in a very minimal .emacs file testing the package in question. The following sample tests the Vertico package.
In today’s digital world, ensuring high availability and performance for web services is crucial. One of the simplest and most commonly used techniques for distributing network traffic is Round Robin DNS.

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??
