+** Backups
+Emacs tends to clutter the filesystem with backup files. A backup file is normally the filename with a =~= suffix. I rather have my filesystem clean, and centralize all backups in a single directory.

+** Customizations
+Customizations don't place nicely with version control, so I do them in a random file that won't get persisted.

+** Emacs server
+I used to run Emacs as a systemd daemon, but it was not too deterministic as sometimes it would break.

+
+Now, I simply start it from Emacs itself. This approach works well for me.
