──[ VOL.3 :: dev environment ]───────────────────────────────────────────────//─
──
:..........................................................................:
My current dev enviroment is as follows;
I am programming on a low to mid tier laptop
but due to my work not necessitating any graphical programming
or me not working on projects concurrently
I do not require a better computer.
I will spare you the specs as they are not relevant.
──[ 0x00 keys ]─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//──
─
I dont like the sound of a mechanical keyboard
so I use my laptops builtin one instead.
You can say that I could get a pink or peach switch,
but I dont like the feeling of it as well.
It seems pretentious and like
it takes a lot more effort to press the keys.
Im lazy like that!
──[ 0x01 os ]───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//──
─
I use arch btw :)
this one needs no explanation.
I prefer KDE Plasma as in my opinion it looks the best.
I always use light mode in IDEs or in general
as black mode gets oppressive for extended work sprints.
But like I wont pull down a dude if they use mac
or even Windows Vista.
People have different needs,
and no OS is better then others
We should use what we need.
──[ 0x02 editor ]───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//──
─
I use VIM (maybe one day I will share my config here)
I am curious about Emacs, heard a lot of great things about it.
But never learned lisp so IDK kinda reluctant.
Plus I am already happy with what I got.
Like they say "If it aint broke dont fix it!"
──[ 0x03 browser ]──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//──
─
I use Firefox with uBlock Origin.
I use ProtonVpn and Duckduckgo.
Not because I am like those crazies, that think CIA is after them
For no reason whatsoever their OPSEC is better then Ross Ulbricht.
Like bro chiiilll you are not even commiting crimes.
Yeah for google you liking goth girls is a huge datapoint.
And like even with your "Opsec setup" if they wanted to get you
Be sure they would.
"No system is safe" and "Humans are the weakest links"
Bro like you seem suspicios af too ngl.
I use Firefox with uBlock Origin
because ads make me go crazy
when all I wanna do is watch some markiplier.
──[ 0x04 vm ]───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//──
─
I do have a VM with tailsOS yes.
I am cooking up a literary project based on tor.
It going to be lit ngl.
(I wont use my abysmall cadence I use in this website, no worries!)
──[ 0x05 terminal ]─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//──
─
My terminal choice is pretty boring aswell.
Just standard Konsole.It will for sure change as I change as a person tho.
Like I dont seed my arch instance.
It is just plain KDE Plasma.
I dont see the point of doing too much.
But ngl some people on the internet have some cool designs.
──[ 0x06 scripts ]──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//──
─
I use basic sh scripts for tasks that I do very often.
That dont require much difference between usages.
And require more then 5 cli prompts.
Other then that I dont over automate.
I dont want to forget to use the tools I need.
Plus when you automate you often loose some customization.
You loose the nuance of it all.
──[ 0x07 room ]─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//──
─
While working my playlist is super diverse.
From hiphop to jazz, to ...
Well, when I think about it yeah thats it
I listen to either hiphop or jazz.
Kendrick I love the most.
No RGB lighting in my room either.
Kinda messy but not overly.
A normal human being room.
Not instagram influenced.
Not neglected enough that
makes it obvious that I use Arch.
Just an average room.
──[ 0x08 storage ]──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//──
─
For file management, Dolphin is more than enough.
I dont want to manage my whole drive through terminal,
I want to feel like a government accountant sometimes.
I still dont know the difference between;
.-- LUKS over LUM --.
| OR |
'-- LUM over LUKS --'
I use the latter. I wont tell you my passphrase tho :)
Backups go to cloud and external storage.
Mega is super good for Cloud.
Secure (and like *whispers* just make infinite accounts)
external storage I use harddrives
SSD is too expensive + Its external no need.
No overly complicated autosyncing cloud pipelines
that break quietly in the background when an API changes.
Just simple one in Cloud one in onprem.
──[ 0x09 now ]──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//──
─
So yeah, my current setup is as follows.
It will for sure change as I change as a person tho.
