ELPA mirrors?

I don't know of any mirrors that are "official", but I do know some people maintain mirrors via rsync (rsync service on elpa.gnu.org was added specifically in response to such requests, IIRC to maintain a mirror on the other side of China's firewall). As for validation, (Non)GNU ELPA signs all the packages and the archive-contents file (with a key distributed alongside Emacs), so it should "just work".

Is /e/os/ the best option if you don't have a phone that can support GrapheneOS

Reply in thread

Can someone point me at technical info about the risks of having an unlocked bootloader? From where I stand, the risks seem completely irrelevant (to take advantage of an unlocked bootloader, the attacker would need to have full access to your OS already). AFAIK, locking of bootloaders was never designed to protect the user, but only to let cell-phone providers restrict what phone users can do.

Even stock/vanilla Emacs is too slow

Time to reindent lines is something that tends to increase, as indentation quality is improved over the years (and as the need increases to support ever more syntactic features of the indented language).
But it really depends more on the text being indented and the mode in use than on the version of Emacs, IME.

T520 fan has stopped spinning

Reply in thread

I'm not familiar with this specific machine, but I've dealt with similar fan problems in 3 other machines (twice successfully (both Thinkpads) and once not (not a Thinkpad)) and I'd recommend you open up your machine and clean it, including opening up the fan itself, which is often not as hard as it sounds and saves you the trouble of having to find a replacement.

REV Saint-Denis | Une entrave dans une portion névralgique indigne les cyclistes

Reply in thread

Intéressant. J'étais ennuyé par l'insistence pesante des gars de la sécu quand j'ai passé tranquilement de nuit (y avait que des cyclistes et des gars de la sécu qui voulaient que je descende de mon vélo alors que j'allais à peine plus vite qu'à pied), mais là je comprends mieux. C'est vrai qu'y a des cyclistes qui ont bien d'la peine à respecter les piétons. Je crois que c'est un problème pas mal plus général (et exacerbé par les moto/vélo-éléc ainsi que par l'exploitation par les services de livraison)
