Thanks @ashraz and @daviwill for the heart test last Friday 🙂

Consider this an appreciation post 😃

So much good stuff in there @LionyxML! @daviwil ‘liberated’ so much of your config, I’ll be looking to do the same soon. I use your emacs auto theme switching all the time (actually I never use it, it just works perfectly and automatically, I enjoy it all the time).

Thanks @shom !

Sharing is the key 😃

I’ve been trying for ages to have another ‘free time’ slot so I can properly test and merge the current `development` branch of `auto-dark` into master. If you’d like to try it, I’d be happy 🙂.

@BigEatie, oh man, this is crazy!

My most ‘famous’ post was the last one talking about `vc-mode` extensions, circa 580 hits.

Now Vercel is complaining I am way over their free tier as this post got almost 3k hits.

@daviwil, next time I have to sell something, I’ll ask you to help me in a video 😃

The HackerNews effect. Hopefully, you won’t have too many troubles with Vercel 😅.

Maybe it’s time for “SystemHosters” 🤣
