Entered: in emacs on gemini pda | Date: 20220602
Spent the last couple of days after work screwing around making an emacs from scratch configuration. In the end, I set it aside for now and have re-stowed my Doom Emacs config. I'll revisit this from time to time as a side project. It has been instructive for sure.
Debian 9 on my Gemini PDA has a known issue with CA Certificates. To be able to roll an emacs config from scratch I needed to be able to access https URLs. I chased my own tail for a while trying to fix this, before installing certs and another copy of emacs from Gnu Guix ended up being the solution.
