+NOTE What is D-Bus?
+
+00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.879
+Welcome to my EmacsConf 2022 talk, The Wheels on D-Bus.
+
+00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:07.439
+In this talk, we'll cover what D-Bus is,
+
+00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.759
+why you might want to use it, and how to use it with Emacs.
+
+00:00:10.760 --> 00:00:13.679
+D-Bus is fundamentally based on passing messages
+
+00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:16.999
+in between processes, using the bus as a mediator.
+
+00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.599
+On top of this is built an RPC system with method invocation
+
+00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:22.799
+that has argument lists and return values,
+
+00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:25.479
+like you might find in any programming language.
+
+00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:27.839
+These are commonly used for verb-type actions
+
+00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:29.999
+like "restart my computer."
+
+00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.639
+You can also associate a collection of attributes
+
+00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.839
+with objects on the bus, and these are called properties.
+
+00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.839
+The properties can be read-only, write-only, or read-write.
+
+00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:43.159
+Signals are a way of notifying participants on the bus
+
+00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:45.999
+of updated state, and are the basis
+
+00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:47.799
+for building dynamic user interfaces
+
+00:00:47.800 --> 00:00:50.479
+that react to changes in the system.
+
+00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:52.759
+It has a static and strong type system,
+
+00:00:52.760 --> 00:00:55.359
+so if you send a message with the wrong type signature,
+
+00:00:55.360 --> 00:00:57.839
+it simply gets rejected instead of going through
+
+00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.599
+to the remote service.
+
+00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.319
+It also manages service life cycles,
+
+00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.399
+so you're not running services at all times.
+
+00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.879
+They can be started and stopped by D-Bus on demand.
+
+NOTE Why D-Bus?
+
+00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:10.519
+D-Bus has two major use cases.
+
+00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:13.359
+The first is acting as a lower-level substrate
+
+00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:14.679
+for higher-level programs,
+
+00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:16.919
+like a graphical desktop environment.
+
+00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.599
+For example, if you want to manage your network connectivity
+
+00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:21.239
+from your graphical environment,
+
+00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:23.919
+instead of having to build all of that from the ground up,
+
+00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.239
+you can rely on the D-Bus service to do that
+
+00:01:26.240 --> 00:01:28.679
+and only build the graphical component of it.
+
+00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.319
+This gives you consistency between desktop environments
+
+00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:33.799
+and reduces code duplication.
+
+00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:37.319
+Another application is automating desktop programs.
+
+00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:39.279
+If your program offers a D-Bus service,
+
+00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:40.959
+then it can be remote-controlled,
+
+00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:42.759
+and if all of your programs offer D-Bus,
+
+00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.359
+you can control your entire desktop.
+
+NOTE The D-Bus Model
+
+00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:48.559
+Let's look at the abstractions that D-Bus provides.
+
+00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.239
+The top level object is called a bus,
+
+00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:52.359
+and it's like a partition
+
+00:01:52.360 --> 00:01:54.919
+that messages get exchanged inside of.
+
+00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.279
+Messages don't cross buses.
+
+00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.559
+Inside of a bus are services.
+
+00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:03.159
+Services are normally identified in reverse FQDN order,
+
+00:02:03.160 --> 00:02:06.159
+so org.foobar.FooService.
+
+00:02:06.160 --> 00:02:08.599
+Each service provides some set of features
+
+00:02:08.600 --> 00:02:11.759
+related to a particular area of functionality.
+
+00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:14.439
+Inside of each service are objects.
+
+00:02:14.440 --> 00:02:16.599
+Objects use a path notation,
+
+00:02:16.600 --> 00:02:19.759
+and usually follow the same reverse FQDN format
+
+00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:21.959
+as the service identifier.
+
+00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.879
+Each object has one or more interfaces.
+
+00:02:24.880 --> 00:02:27.279
+An interface is like a facet that you can use
+
+00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.479
+to interact with an object,
+
+00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:32.239
+and inside of the interface are properties, methods,
+
+00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:33.999
+and signals, which we covered before.
+
+00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.039
+Properties are attributes that can be read or written.
+
+00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:40.239
+Methods are verbs that you can call to invoke an action,
+
+00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.319
+and a signal is something that's used to move state
+
+00:02:43.320 --> 00:02:47.239
+in between a service and another participant on the bus.
+
+00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:49.599
+There can be any number of interfaces on an object,
+
+00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:51.479
+any number of objects in a service,
+
+00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:53.439
+and any number of services on a bus,
+
+00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:55.359
+and any number of buses on a system.
+
+NOTE Well-known Busses
+
+00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:00.039
+There are two well-known busses,
+
+00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:02.359
+and these roughly map to those two use cases
+
+00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:03.639
+I mentioned before.
+
+00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:06.479
+The system bus is for interfacing with hardware
+
+00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:08.439
+and operating-system-level concerns
+
+00:03:08.440 --> 00:03:11.679
+like disks, networks, and so forth.
+
+00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.319
+The session bus is tied to a user login,
+
+00:03:14.320 --> 00:03:19.999
+and is more in the desktop automation use case.
+
+NOTE Common interfaces
+
+00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.919
+There are some common interfaces you'll find
+
+00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:23.959
+if you go exploring D-Bus.
+
+00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:25.999
+The Introspectable interface is the basis
+
+00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.919
+of a lot of the reflection features.
+
+00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:30.119
+It has a single method called introspect
+
+00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.239
+that returns the XML interface description
+
+00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:33.399
+of whatever you call it on.
+
+00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.559
+Peer is used for lower level connectivity,
+
+00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.679
+for example, pinging a service to see if it's running.
+
+00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.759
+And the Properties interface is the basis
+
+00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:43.119
+of the read-write properties,
+
+00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.799
+which are secretly method calls under the cover.
+
+00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.519
+Just about every object you interact with on D-Bus
+
+00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.399
+will support all three of these interfaces.
+
+00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.759
+Additionally, ObjectManager is used for services
+
+00:03:54.760 --> 00:03:56.759
+that manage collections of objects.
+
+00:03:56.760 --> 00:03:59.839
+For example, the disk service has an object
+
+00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:01.279
+for each disk that's attached,
+
+00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:02.799
+and the object manager allows you
+
+00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.239
+to enumerate all of those.
+
+NOTE Emacs Native D-Bus
+
+00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.359
+Emacs supports D-Bus natively since version 23.1.
+
+00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.119
+It's a combination of native bindings
+
+00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.639
+with a C library and dbus.el.
+
+00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:17.559
+While there are some ports of D-Bus
+
+00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:19.479
+to non-Linux operating systems,
+
+00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.039
+it's probably only available on Linux
+
+00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.439
+and almost certainly only usable on Linux.
+
+00:04:24.440 --> 00:04:28.919
+If you want to interact with D-Bus from Emacs,
+
+00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:30.079
+it's fairly straightforward.
+
+00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:33.199
+There's a collection of functions like `dbus-get-property'
+
+00:04:33.200 --> 00:04:35.039
+or `dbus-call-method', et cetera,
+
+00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.639
+and they almost all take this same set
+
+00:04:37.640 --> 00:04:39.319
+of four arguments at the beginning:
+
+00:04:39.320 --> 00:04:42.119
+bus, service, path, and interface.
+
+00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.439
+In this case, it takes a single additional property,
+
+00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:46.599
+which is the one to read.
+
+00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.679
+And what we're calling is the hostname1 service,
+
+00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:51.519
+which gives you just a little bit of information
+
+00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:54.759
+about the system, like its hostname or its chassis.
+
+00:04:54.760 --> 00:04:56.199
+And in this case, you can see I'm running
+
+00:04:56.200 --> 00:04:57.719
+this presentation off my laptop.
+
+00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.959
+The problem with this and what I don't like about it
+
+00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:04.599
+is that all of these identifiers are very verbose
+
+00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:05.719
+and very repetitive.
+
+00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:07.679
+And if you end up calling these a lot,
+
+00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:09.319
+it gets old really quickly.
+
+NOTE Debase
+
+00:05:09.320 --> 00:05:12.999
+So I wrote a wrapper called Debase,
+
+00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.839
+which is convenience on top of the built-in functions.
+
+00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:18.839
+Most of the stock functions have Debase versions
+
+00:05:18.840 --> 00:05:21.519
+just by replacing "dbus" with "debase".
+
+00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:23.879
+And let's look how that works.
+
+NOTE Debase: Objects
+
+00:05:23.880 --> 00:05:27.999
+The fundamental idea of Debase is that you can bind together
+
+00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.319
+all of those arguments into a single object
+
+00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:31.559
+that represents the endpoint.
+
+00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:35.599
+This is an EIEIO class, and it takes keyword arguments,
+
+00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:36.879
+so there's never any chance
+
+00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:38.559
+of mixing up which thing is what.
+
+00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.479
+So this sets the endpoint to that object,
+
+00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:43.119
+calls `debase-get-property' on it,
+
+00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.039
+and you can see it works exactly the same.
+
+00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.359
+The thing that's really nice about this, though,
+
+00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.199
+is it knows that so many of these arguments
+
+00:05:50.200 --> 00:05:52.919
+are very similar that it can compute most of them
+
+00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:54.279
+if you don't provide them all.
+
+00:05:54.280 --> 00:05:57.159
+So if you just say service, it will assume
+
+00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.159
+that you want the same object that matches
+
+00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:00.879
+and the same interface that matches,
+
+00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:02.319
+and it works just the same.
+
+00:06:02.320 --> 00:06:04.879
+I find this very, very convenient.
+
+00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:07.239
+You can also reuse the object
+
+00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.159
+instead of having to repeat every argument
+
+00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:10.399
+with every function call,
+
+00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:13.439
+which is a really great improvement in ergonomics.
+
+NOTE Debase: Retarget objects
+
+00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:18.119
+Because so many objects have multiple interfaces,
+
+00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.319
+you often find yourself needing to look
+
+00:06:20.320 --> 00:06:22.479
+at a different aspect of that object.
+
+00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:26.599
+This is supported with the built-in EIEIO `clone' method,
+
+00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:28.279
+which takes an object
+
+00:06:28.280 --> 00:06:30.439
+and a set of keyword arguments to replace.
+
+00:06:30.440 --> 00:06:32.599
+So in this case, we can see we're calling
+
+00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:33.479
+the Properties method,
+
+00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.799
+but everything else on that endpoint is the same.
+
+00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.079
+And then we're gonna call the method GetAll
+
+00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:39.359
+on that Properties interface,
+
+00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.119
+and it's going to return all the properties
+
+00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.919
+of the org.freedesktop.hostname1 interface
+
+00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:45.199
+inside of that object.
+
+00:06:45.200 --> 00:06:48.199
+And if we run that, we can see there's the hostname
+
+00:06:48.200 --> 00:06:50.159
+and some other information about the laptop
+
+00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:51.079
+that I'm running this on.
+
+NOTE Debase: Object binding
+
+00:06:51.080 --> 00:06:54.399
+Debase also supports object binding.
+
+00:06:54.400 --> 00:06:58.559
+This creates a lexical context in which the Debase object
+
+00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.119
+is the implicit target of any D-Bus function.
+
+00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:03.279
+This is really convenient if you need
+
+00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:06.479
+to fetch multiple properties or otherwise interact
+
+00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.319
+with the same endpoint in multiple different ways.
+
+00:07:09.320 --> 00:07:11.359
+And you can see I'm still on a laptop
+
+00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:12.479
+and it's still named meson.
+
+NOTE Debase: Raw binding
+
+00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:16.319
+You can also, if you don't want to use the object,
+
+00:07:16.320 --> 00:07:18.239
+you can provide the raw argument list.
+
+00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.919
+Under the covers, this is basically an `flet'
+
+00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.279
+where you're currying all of these functions
+
+00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:25.439
+so they start with those argument lists.
+
+00:07:25.440 --> 00:07:27.799
+And you can see I'm running on a Linux machine,
+
+00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:29.399
+which should not be surprising.
+
+NOTE Debase: Codegen
+
+00:07:29.400 --> 00:07:34.079
+Debase also has an experimental code generation feature.
+
+00:07:34.080 --> 00:07:38.359
+It outputs EIEIO code with one class per D-Bus interface.
+
+00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.079
+This includes accessors for all of its properties
+
+00:07:41.080 --> 00:07:44.159
+with an in-process cache, so if you read one property,
+
+00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.399
+you don't have to go back to the bus to read it again.
+
+00:07:46.400 --> 00:07:50.119
+It also outputs generic functions and method implementations
+
+00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.199
+for the D-Bus interface methods.
+
+00:07:52.200 --> 00:07:54.279
+It includes name-mangling options,
+
+00:07:54.280 --> 00:07:56.879
+so you can control how everything is named.
+
+00:07:56.880 --> 00:07:58.639
+And you can generate the code either
+
+00:07:58.640 --> 00:08:00.279
+via introspecting a live system
+
+00:08:00.280 --> 00:08:02.639
+or providing an XML interface description,
+
+00:08:02.640 --> 00:08:04.279
+which is handy if you want to use it
+
+00:08:04.280 --> 00:08:05.919
+as part of a non-interactive build.
+
+00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:08.159
+I think this has a lot of promise,
+
+00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:09.679
+but it doesn't feel quite right yet,
+
+00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:14.199
+so any feedback or contributions are very welcome.
+
+NOTE Debase: Codegen example
+
+00:08:14.200 --> 00:08:16.919
+Let's generate some Elisp code
+
+00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.639
+for that hostname1 service we were interacting with before.
+
+00:08:19.640 --> 00:08:23.119
+`debase-gen-class' is the generation class,
+
+00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:26.079
+and it says to create a class that matches this interface,
+
+00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:28.999
+named "hostname1", and then the rest of these arguments
+
+00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.999
+are the same ones to target the endpoint,
+
+00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.919
+just like with `debase-object',
+
+00:08:32.920 --> 00:08:34.759
+because it extends `debase-object'.
+
+00:08:34.760 --> 00:08:37.679
+`debase-gen-code' is a generic function
+
+00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:40.119
+that takes any `debase-gen' class.
+
+00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.279
+There are different classes for functions,
+
+00:08:42.280 --> 00:08:43.359
+properties, et cetera,
+
+00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:45.479
+and it creates all of the code for it.
+
+00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.279
+If we evaluate it, we can see the results
+
+00:08:48.280 --> 00:08:49.959
+look about like we would expect:
+
+00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:52.159
+creates a defclass named "hostname1",
+
+00:08:52.160 --> 00:08:53.879
+which extends `debase-object',
+
+00:08:53.880 --> 00:08:56.639
+has all of the slots and accessors defined,
+
+00:08:56.640 --> 00:08:59.319
+and then methods that define everything
+
+00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:01.839
+that you might want to do with it, including documentation.
+
+00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.759
+This is based on introspecting a running system,
+
+00:09:04.760 --> 00:09:05.479
+but as I mentioned,
+
+00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:08.039
+you can provide an XML interface description instead,
+
+00:09:08.040 --> 00:09:08.679
+if you like.
+
+NOTE Debase: ObjectManager
+
+00:09:08.680 --> 00:09:12.279
+Debase also comes with `debase-objectmanager',
+
+00:09:12.280 --> 00:09:15.399
+which is convenience for the D-Bus ObjectManager interface.
+
+00:09:15.400 --> 00:09:17.999
+This is used in a lot of places in D-Bus,
+
+00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.279
+where an object manages other objects.
+
+00:09:20.280 --> 00:09:22.719
+For example, the NetworkManager object
+
+00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.159
+manages network hardware objects,
+
+00:09:25.160 --> 00:09:26.879
+and using the ObjectManager interface,
+
+00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:28.879
+you can enumerate all of the network hardware,
+
+00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:31.039
+and by subscribing to the signals,
+
+00:09:31.040 --> 00:09:32.999
+you can be notified when they change.
+
+00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.999
+`debase-objectmanager' keeps a local cache,
+
+00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.119
+and will fire a callback on any change.
+
+00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:41.239
+So it's the building block for that dynamic user interface,
+
+00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.119
+like you would see in a desktop system,
+
+00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:44.479
+but inside of Emacs.
+
+NOTE Demo: Discomfort
+
+00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.759
+Let's do some demos.
+
+00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:51.039
+Discomfort is an interface I wrote for UDisks2,
+
+00:09:51.040 --> 00:09:53.719
+which is what manages all of the block device hardware.
+
+00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:57.679
+And again, it has that dynamic desktop-like interactivity,
+
+00:09:57.680 --> 00:10:00.279
+and mostly will just do what you mean.
+
+00:10:00.280 --> 00:10:03.519
+This is definitely alpha state.
+
+00:10:03.520 --> 00:10:04.839
+It doesn't have all the features,
+
+00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:06.559
+but it's good enough that I use it daily.
+
+00:10:06.560 --> 00:10:08.879
+So here's Discomfort,
+
+00:10:08.880 --> 00:10:11.679
+and you can see it has a list of all your hardware,
+
+00:10:11.680 --> 00:10:13.639
+what type it is, and where it's mounted.
+
+00:10:13.640 --> 00:10:16.199
+I have a little USB extension cable here,
+
+00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:17.679
+and I'm gonna plug in a disc,
+
+00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:19.319
+just to show you how this works.
+
+00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:21.079
+You can see when I plug it in,
+
+00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:22.399
+just a moment later,
+
+00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:24.439
+it shows up in that list, automatically.
+
+00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:25.719
+I don't have to press any key,
+
+00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:27.759
+I don't have to refresh it, it's just there.
+
+00:10:27.760 --> 00:10:29.519
+If I unplug it, it's gone.
+
+00:10:29.520 --> 00:10:30.719
+Plug it back in,
+
+00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.399
+and there it is.
+
+00:10:33.400 --> 00:10:35.239
+And you can see it's an encrypted volume.
+
+00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.279
+So in order to do anything with this,
+
+00:10:37.280 --> 00:10:38.679
+I'm going to have to supply a password.
+
+00:10:38.680 --> 00:10:41.759
+Just pressing Enter goes into the "do what I mean" mode,
+
+00:10:41.760 --> 00:10:43.519
+and it asks for the password.
+
+00:10:43.520 --> 00:10:46.599
+In this case, I've chosen the very secure password
+
+00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:47.559
+of "password".
+
+00:10:47.560 --> 00:10:51.199
+I hit Enter, and it unlocks it, and it mounts it,
+
+00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.319
+and it opens `dired' looking at it.
+
+00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:54.439
+And here's a little README.
+
+00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:55.559
+Let's see what it says.
+
+00:10:55.560 --> 00:10:58.559
+"Hello, EmacsConf."
+
+00:10:58.560 --> 00:11:01.479
+So that's my demo of discomfort.
+
+NOTE Demo: Remote eval
+
+00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.839
+In addition to acting as a client for D-Bus,
+
+00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.359
+Emacs can also offer services to other D-Bus clients.
+
+00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.959
+This is a really interesting opportunity
+
+00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:14.119
+because it allows many different programs
+
+00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:15.279
+to integrate with Emacs
+
+00:11:15.280 --> 00:11:17.679
+in ways that were previously very difficult.
+
+00:11:17.680 --> 00:11:20.239
+You can use this as an alternative to Emacs.
+
+00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.199
+The difference is D-Bus provides a full API,
+
+00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:24.999
+so instead of emacsclient being
+
+00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:26.679
+a sort of fire-and-forget system,
+
+00:11:26.680 --> 00:11:30.119
+you can actually get results back from the remote operation.
+
+00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:31.999
+So here's some code.
+
+00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.679
+Here's a `dbus-eval' function, which takes a string,
+
+00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:37.359
+reads it, and evaluates it,
+
+00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.359
+and returns whatever that value is.
+
+00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.839
+Then we have a `debase-bind' block
+
+00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.799
+that sets up an object on the session bus.
+
+00:11:44.800 --> 00:11:46.839
+Again, that's my user login bus.
+
+00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:49.559
+It offers this D-Bus service Emacs.
+
+00:11:49.560 --> 00:11:53.399
+This is a constant inside of the dbus.el package.
+
+00:11:53.400 --> 00:11:55.439
+And again, the path is a constant in there.
+
+00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:57.159
+And we're gonna create this interface,
+
+00:11:57.160 --> 00:12:02.519
+org.gnu.Emacs.Eval, and then register a method called Eval
+
+00:12:02.520 --> 00:12:04.759
+that calls that `dbus-eval' function.
+
+00:12:04.760 --> 00:12:08.119
+Pretty straightforward, only a handful of lines of code.
+
+00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:12.399
+To test this out, we're going to use the dbus-send utility.
+
+00:12:12.400 --> 00:12:15.399
+This is a command line program that interacts with D-Bus.
+
+00:12:15.400 --> 00:12:18.079
+We're going to tell it to wait for and print the reply,
+
+00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.999
+that the message should be sent to the session bus,
+
+00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:22.599
+that we're going to talk
+
+00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:25.639
+to the org.gnu.Emacs service on that bus,
+
+00:12:25.640 --> 00:12:30.879
+and the /org/gnu/Emacs object inside that service.
+
+00:12:30.880 --> 00:12:33.039
+On that object, we're gonna interact
+
+00:12:33.040 --> 00:12:35.999
+with the org.gnu.Emacs.Eval interface
+
+00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:37.639
+and call its Eval method.
+
+00:12:37.640 --> 00:12:40.639
+We're gonna call that method with a single string argument,
+
+00:12:40.640 --> 00:12:42.639
+which is indicated by the string prefix,
+
+00:12:42.640 --> 00:12:44.999
+and then a form to evaluate.
+
+00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:46.999
+I actually have to run this from a shell,
+
+00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.399
+because if I try using it in Org, it wedges.
+
+00:12:49.400 --> 00:12:51.959
+org-babel blocks waiting on completion,
+
+00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.519
+which blocks the D-Bus service from responding.
+
+00:12:54.520 --> 00:12:57.399
+I really wish Emacs was multi-threaded.
+
+00:12:57.400 --> 00:12:59.919
+But let's try it out.
+
+00:12:59.920 --> 00:13:02.719
+So if we run this, we can see that we get a return,
+
+00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.239
+and that's an unsigned integer of 32 bits
+
+00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:06.439
+with a value of 3.
+
+00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:09.959
+So like I was saying, this is really a two-way API
+
+00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:11.719
+where you can communicate back and forth
+
+00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:13.399
+between Emacs and another program.
+
+00:13:13.400 --> 00:13:14.959
+It's not just fire-and-forget.
+
+00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:16.279
+I think that's really cool.
+
+NOTE Demo: Remote Org capture
+
+00:13:16.280 --> 00:13:18.519
+Let's try another demo.
+
+00:13:18.520 --> 00:13:20.599
+What about a remote org-capture?
+
+00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:22.999
+What if you could trigger an org-capture
+
+00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:24.679
+from any program on your desktop?
+
+00:13:24.680 --> 00:13:26.239
+I think that would be pretty cool.
+
+00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.239
+And we can see, there it is.
+
+00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:38.919
+All right, I think I've got that one covered.
+
+00:13:38.920 --> 00:13:42.319
+So I do want to say that remote eval is probably a bad idea
+
+00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:43.479
+from a security perspective,
+
+00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.759
+but the point of this is some quick and dirty demonstrations
+
+00:13:46.760 --> 00:13:49.799
+of what can happen and to get people's imaginations flowing,
+
+00:13:49.800 --> 00:13:51.719
+because I think this is something
+
+00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:54.079
+that offers a lot of promise for Emacs.
+
+00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:57.799
+I think having a full-blown Emacs desktop environment
+
+00:13:57.800 --> 00:13:59.879
+where it can do all the things that a GNOME
+
+00:13:59.880 --> 00:14:02.759
+or a KDE environment can do is very exciting.
+
+00:14:02.760 --> 00:14:06.439
+And if you want to have a traditional GUI with Emacs
+
+00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:08.679
+as a more integrated participant of it,
+
+00:14:08.680 --> 00:14:11.879
+its service mechanism offers a lot of ability to do that.
+
+NOTE Future directions
+
+00:14:11.880 --> 00:14:15.999
+In the micro sense, I think there's a lot of improvements
+
+00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:19.279
+that can be made to either dbus.el or to dbase.
+
+00:14:19.280 --> 00:14:21.639
+The main one is handling of the type system.
+
+00:14:21.640 --> 00:14:25.839
+Lisp's dynamic type system doesn't mesh particularly well
+
+00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:28.799
+with the static strong type system that D-bus offers,
+
+00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:31.359
+and having some convenience to assist that
+
+00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:32.639
+would be very helpful.
+
+00:14:32.640 --> 00:14:35.319
+There's also some weird interfaces.
+
+00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:38.119
+For example, some things return identifiers
+
+00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:40.919
+as an array of integer code points instead of a string,
+
+00:14:40.920 --> 00:14:43.719
+and there should be a common way of handling that.
+
+00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.159
+I also think that the service support could be improved.
+
+00:14:46.160 --> 00:14:48.039
+Even though I gave the demo service,
+
+00:14:48.040 --> 00:14:50.479
+it's not really a great D-bus citizen
+
+00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:53.079
+because it doesn't offer that introspection mechanism,
+
+00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.919
+and so the actual methods are pretty much invisible
+
+00:14:55.920 --> 00:14:56.919
+to other participants,
+
+00:14:56.920 --> 00:15:00.079
+unless they already know that you're using Emacs.
+
+00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:01.799
+That's my talk.
+
+00:15:01.800 --> 00:15:02.559
+Thank you.
+
+00:15:02.560 --> 00:15:07.320
