Internet Shenanigans
- Search Engine: {Kagi}
Modern search engines are really awful and this one is pretty alright. It has a well-tailored digital assistant and an AI-blocking mode.
- Web Browser: {Helium}
It's Chromium without the analytics/telemetry/etc with uBlock somehow alchemically added in. I use {Vimium} btw.
- E-Mail Provider: {Proton.me}
It's a certified boomer classic and it runs phenomenally on every device.
- Bookmarks: {Raindrop.io}
It's a crossplatform bookmark manager/memory board with offline backups. It even supports RSS feeds! Pretty skookum.
- VPS Host: {Vultr.com}
I've run this website in some capacity since 2020. Currently it's on a server that runs {Debian} on VPS somewhere in New Jersey.
Personal Technology
Software
- Editor: {Neovim}
I've used this for years because it's simple. My config is really basic.
- Calculator: {R}
This is an insanely overkill tool for most math operations, but I'm used to using it. I just fire it up on the CLI.
- Typsetting: {Typst}
Imagine a system that has all of the power of LaTeX, all of the convenience of Markdown's sytax, and none of the bloat of pandoc. It even has a musl release!
- Window Manager: {AeroSpace}
It's basically i3 gaps for MacOS. It improves the user experience dramatically.
- Terminal Emulator: {Ghostty}
Compared to stock, Ghostty is pretty minimal. I use the Gruvbox Dark
theme.
- File Manager: {Yazi}
This is a lot like lf, but it comes preconfigured with image previews.
- Shell: {Zsh}
I'm used to using this on Linux and it comes stock with the machine. I have additional plugins for more advanced auto-completion and syntax coloring.
- Pdf Viewer: {Sioyek}
A modernized zathura with better bookmarking features and live updates. I use a Gruvbox Dark
theme on this also.
