This page describes software and things that I am using currently. I intend on updating it as I remember to document a new interesting thing to add here.


Software

  • OS: MacOS, NixOS
  • Text editor: Neovim
  • Terminal emulator: Ghostty
  • Phone: iPhone XS
  • Browser: Firefox → LibreWolf
  • Notetaking: Notion → Obsidian
  • Tasks: Notion → Obsidian → Planka

Browser Addons

  • 10ten Japanese Reader: Japanese-reading auxiliary tool that display kanji readings on mouse-over.
  • 1Password: Password manager helper.
  • ClearURLs Strip identifying information before trying to open URLs. E.g.: si parameters from shared YouTube links.
  • Dark Reader Replace a website colors with a darker version that helps especially when reading at night.
  • Firefox Multi-Account Containers Helps isolate (sandbox) what each website can access about me. I have a different container for each big tech and I force certain URLs to be opened only inside its assigned container.
  • Octotree Displays a side navigation tree on GitHub so I do not have to load the entire page when clicking a folder just to see which files are inside.
  • StreetPass for Mastodon Similar to Nintendo Street Pass for Nintendo 3DS but for Mastodon. When I visit a webpage in which its author specified their Mastodon account, it will let me know this person uses Mastodon.
  • Tabliss I used it to have a clean black New Tab page that helps lower visual stimulus when I open a new tab. Nowadays I just keep it because it changes the New Tab icon to something that is less contrasting. I could remove this addon if I spend some time fiddling with the userChrome.css to change the default New Tab icon.
  • uBlock Origin Blocks a lot of advertisement content. Helps navigate the web with more peace. I am not totally sure if this is still need after migrating to LibreWolf.
  • PeerTube Companion (New/Testing) If I open a YouTube link of a video that is available in a PeerTube instance, it automatically redirects me to the PeerTube version.
