My shiny new Arch install uses grub2, so you don't need a separate /boot partition! It can read the kernel straight out of an LVM partition. grub2 is a little bit bigger though, so I had to repartition give it 2MiB at the beginning of the disk. Everything gets bigger over time.

straight.el https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el looks like a great alternative package manager for Emacs. It checks out git repositories of dependencies, so it's always easy to contribute changes upstream! This has been a definite point of friction in my Emacs workflow.

Coming from Twitter, a major difference with the Tooterati¹ is that your server matters. You're more easily discovered by users on the same instance. It's an interesting, different group dynamic. There's more scope for self-organisation and group identities. ¹ This should totally be a word. People use Twitterati with a straight face.
