The Lone C++ Coder's Blog

The continued diary of an experienced C++ programmer. Thoughts on C++ and other languages I play with, Emacs, functional, non functional and sometimes non-functioning programming.

<p>As I mentioned in my <a href="/post/2021-05-16-nzxt-h1-saga-continued/">post from a few months ago</a>, I had received the temporary fix in the form of the nylon screws and nuts from NZXT. At that point in time, NZXT’s customer support was not able to tell me when to expect the “real” fix, namely the updated PCIe riser.</p>

<p>In Emacs, I usually end up enabling the same set of minor modes when I use one of my “writing modes”, namely modes like markdown-mode and org-mode. Enabling a single minor mode automatically is generally pretty easy via the appropriate mode hook, but enabling more than one minor mode requires one more level of indirection.

<p>I’m by no means an Emacs <a href="https://orgmode.org">org-mode</a> power user - in fact, anything but - but I do use org-mode a lot for note taking and also when I need an outliner to try and arrange ideas in a suitable manner.

That had enough oomph for testing and for the last couple of months. That said, this machine is running FreeBSD with ZFS on root,…

<p>Not much to update since the <a href="https://www.lonecpluspluscoder.com/post/2021-05-01-nzxt-h1-recall-experience/">last post on this topic</a>, I’m still waiting for the updated PCIe riser. Although I do have to admit that based on the latest video from Gamers Nexus on this saga, I’m not holding my breath.</p>
