quiet

A simple package to disconnect from the online world for a while, possibly reconnecting later. Any interuptions or distractions which occur once the command is run are guaranteed to be local.

disconnection

M-x quiet will disconnect from the network, optionally reconecting after a certain time.

the function quiet can be used anywhere in emacs where lack of network access could be seen a as a feature, e.g. as a mode-hook (or with defadvice) to your preferred distraction free writing environment.

reconection

M-x quiet-reconnect will manually reconect to the network, however you can enable a timer to automatically reconnect by setting quiet-timer to a number of minutes. e.g. (setq quiet-timer 60) will let quiet to reconnect after one hour. if quiet-timer is set to 0 it won't reconnect automatically.

network interfaces

you may want to customize or setq quiet-disconnect and quiet-connect to the appropriate shell commands to turn your network (or single interface) on or off.

  • MacOS (current default) % networksetup -setairportpower airport {on,off}
