Things I use

This is a /uses page

#Hardware

💻 ThinkPad Z13 (AMD 6850U, 16GB RAM, Windows 11 x Fedora 40 KDE)
⌨️ Too many mechanical keyboards, preferences lately settling towards linear switches in 68% or TKL layouts
📱 a Nothing Phone (2)
🎧 KOSS headphones KSC75, KSC35 Wireless, KPH40i, Porta Pro [Wireless] (their wires don’t last but they are cheap and sound excellent)
🔦 Zebralight SC64c LE with a sliced LH351D emitter for rosy, high CRI light out of a tiny, efficiently driven light
🖱️ Several variants of Razer DeathAdder
(though I do miss my Intellimouse Pro from before its scroll wheel died)

🧭 AltSnap to Win+Drag move, resize windows
🗒️ Kate, Notepad++, or neovim depending on my mood.
- Yes, these all run on Windows as well.
- I haven’t quite decided if Helix is worth learning the muscle memory for, but I like it as well.
📺 yt-dlp interfaces: YTDLnis for Android and stacher
🌍 Brave Browser, although I’m considering a move to Firefox if the devs don’t fix sync soon
🦈 Wireshark remains the most valuable tool for network and application troubleshooting I have

🟢 Two small virtual private servers from RackNerd via LowEndBox deals
🐿️ GitHub Pages because if my code is going to be on their servers anyway, and I want my site on a CDN, I may as well do it all in one place for free. Hopefully nobody will embrace-extend-extinguish it :^)

🚗 My trusty 2007 Lexus GS450h
- uses its awesome hybrid synergy drive to get me a whopping… 25mpg
- but it’s practically old enough to vote and it has 340 horsepower that I use most of
🏍️ 2010 Kawasaki KLX250S
