Read Jeremy's post on quickly switching the default browser.

I had a shell script to do this as well. Doing it from Emacs makes more sense because I can have a completion UI.

So, here's my modified version for Linux:

(defun sj/default-browser (&optional name)
  "Set the default browser based on the given NAME."
  (interactive
   (list
    (completing-read
     "Browser: "
     (split-string
      (shell-command-to-string
       "find /usr/share/applications ~/.local/share/applications -name \"*.desktop\" -exec grep -l \"Categories=.*WebBrowser\" {} \\;")
      "\n" t))))
  (let ((browser-desktop (file-name-nondirectory name)))
    (shell-command (format "xdg-mime default %s text/html" browser-desktop))
    (shell-command (format "xdg-mime default %s application/xhtml+xml" browser-desktop))
    (shell-command (format "xdg-mime default %s application/x-extension-html" browser-desktop))
    (shell-command (format "xdg-settings set default-web-browser %s" browser-desktop))))

As a plus, it automatically lists the installed browsers based on .desktop files on your system.

Looks good. I noticed some issues though:

  1. The post links in your RSS feed are incorrect.
  2. The link to lmno.lol is also incorrect on your homepage.
  3. The new RSS feed does not have GUIDs (your earlier feed had). So, in my feed reader, all your posts are showing up as unread.
