• LaTeX and AsciiDoc

  I'm allergic to LaTeX ;-), but initially used SILE, which is a modern reimagining of TeX/LaTeX. It reads Markdown natively, so I could push the content in directly and style it for the printed page.

It turned out to be far less of a pain to do it in InDesign, even with the need to write conversion scripts. Source: about 1 year ago

• Typst, a modern LaTeX alternative written in Rust, is now open source

  What are your thoughts on SILE (https://sile-typesetter.org/)? I think it’s the tool roughly in this space, and “write djot -> SILE convertor” is on my hobby todo list. I am 95% sure in the djot part here, but I am fairly naive when it comes to typography, and can’t really estimate the SILE part. Source: about 1 year ago

• TeXmacs “The Jolly Writer” book now available as pdf download

  TeX/LaTeX is so addictive to use ... It's such a quirky and messy ecosystem. So organically grown over decades. Doing any complex layout is a struggle of trial and error and searching for advise, there's so many ways to do the same thing, you end up combining two dozens sometimes subtly incompatible packages, you end up gardening your own templates over time with meticulously embedded commentary to keep the... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: LaTeX is great. Has anyone tried to build something better?

• What steps do you take to protect your OpSec?

  I also recommend an adblocker like Adblock plus or a privacy browser like Brave to limit the amount they can learn about you when not in Private Mode. Add more gray man to your everyday web use. You can whitelist sites you trust, but you still really should not trust those trackers. Source: 8 months ago

• How to block YT ads like a champ

  If you can, try to use alternative browsers such [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/new/) and [Brave](https://brave.com/) rather than just Google Chrome. Also these browsers have more privacy features, are frequently updated and are Open-source. Source: 8 months ago
