Software I use

Operating System:

• I use Linux and Unix On my workstations I use Arch Linux oh yeah “I use Arch by the way!” This has somehow become the elitist mantra meme of Arch users. But I don’t care what Linux you use, or even unix, the mach kernel on unix is stretching things and Microgarbage, what are you my grandmother!

Terminal

• I used to use Termite and still do as a backup if anything happens to:
• I’ve switches to alacritty due to it’s speed equality across distros and resolutions, ligature support and “having a config file”
• 2024 01 24 I now Alternate between Kitty and Alacritty depending on bin updates

Shell

• ZSH

Window Manager / Desktop Environment

• i3wm

Text editing and development

• Doom Emacs
• Spacemacs Emacs I’ve stopped using spacemacs and use Doom .
• VIM / neovim

Web Browser

• Brave Firefox and qutebrowser

Writing Documents

• I use org-mode a major mode for Emacs in which I use doomemacs Configuration. org-mode allows for robust outlining and other controls over plane text. Far surpassing markdown and other markup languages. With the use of Pandoc I export to Markdown, HTML, PDF via Latex and more.

• Expanding to use Hugo and the Emacs / org-mode minor mode ox-hugo to export org-mode files for the snuffy.org site

• Simple Deploy Script (redacted)

    #!/usr/bin/env sh
    # I like using absolute paths when I can
  
    cd ~/Sites/snuffy.org/
  
    USER={username here}
    HOST={hostname here}
    DIR={relative path to home on the server}
  
    /usr/bin/hugo && /usr/bin/rsync -avz --delete public/ ${USER}@${HOST}:~/${DIR}
  
    # if you don't know this returns you to the directory you were in when you
    # called this script
  
    cd -
