## Emacs config feeling pretty comfy
I did end up starting my init.el over from scratch two more
times. It now syncs and works with all my devices including
my work Windows 10 Thinkpad. I found that all the speed
issues on my Gemini PDA were due to the overhead of
proot'ing Manjaro. On vanilla termux, my GPDA is just as
fast as my phone loading emacs (well, my phone is much
beefier of a device, so not quite, but it feels peppy
anyways).
## Unsatisfied with yasnippet and yatemplate
I have vim setup with a phlog template for years, neovim for
months, but have been unhappy with yatemplate in emacs. It
acted hokey while setting up and didn't do everything I
wanted it to do. So [I rolled my own](./rolled-my-own.txt).
I wanted the device I am typing on to autoidentify. This was
accomplished pretty hackily -- I set the same environment
variable on each device and read it in my init.el. I also
fill in the date automatically. Seems like not a big deal,
but it is very satisfying...
