For knighthk — every one of the quoted lines below, one bullet each.
- antti asked if you made a party and didn't invite them, then said "now we are talking knighthk !"
- antti stated they will ask about emacs3 on Monday.
- antti told you to stop playing games and give the GPU to tin-k guts.
- trev asked if you are in the metaverse now.
- antti asked how emacs3 is going.
- antti sent a link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV_K0nTF6gY) asking how many you are going to buy.
- Lionyx noted that you made your entire building spend $0 with heating this month, thanks to tink.
- antti explained that you were cooking at home because the summer was really violent and hot.
- Lionyx said that sucks for poor knighthk.
- antti wondered when you are going to be back so you can share more AI slop tuning tools.
- antti sent a link saying tin-k should use motd, which is in F-Droid now, with no excuses.
Everything else — the rest of the channel, the general recap.
- IRC History: alcor explained to trev that clients like history ring use ↑/↓ keys to cycle through message history and re-send messages.
- Systemcrafters Status: trev announced that systemcrafters is alive after someone found motd on GitHub. daviwil joked about being an influencer, while trev called him ex-influencer.
- Sigil Doc & Guile Course: daviwil shared that Codex rewrote the Guile course files in Sigil Doc format, generating both site and PDF. He provided links to examples (https://codeberg.org/sigil/sigil-doc/src/branch/master/book/practical-sigil/01-useful-first-script.sgd and https://codeberg.org/sigil/sigil-doc/src/branch/master/test/fixtures/practical-sigil-chapter.sgd) showing how Sigil code can be embedded, processed by a custom reader, and executed like Jupyter notebooks. daviwil plans to write a book about Sigil in Sigil (manually), use it for Folio's document language, and generate the SC course site with Press.
- Slate & Termux: trev asked why you used Termux for serious work; daviwil replied he did 60%+ of the Sigil ecosystem work from his phone (at his wife's parents' house) using termux + mosh + tmux over WireGuard. He noted Slate is now fully natively compiled to WASM, improving performance.
- AI Models & Opencode: trev discussed trying Hermes; daviwil suggested DeepSeek V4 Flash via Opencode Go due to its generous quota (link: https://opencode.ai/docs/go/#usage-limits) and low cost ($10/month on https://opencode.ai/go), making it better for organization than Ollama Cloud. He mentioned Codex recently reset his quota and has been designing the #lang system in Slate.
- Remote Magit & Enclave: trev expressed interest in a remote magit feature for seamless PC/phone use; daviwil confirmed this is possible using Enclave (which added device authentication), generating diffs over the wire without pulling code. He noted Slate's terminal can auth via QR code with Enclave PWA.
- Closing: The chat ended with knighthk saying hello.
