I'm using Arch Linux on my personal machine. Here's a neofetch:

For my desktop environment, I've got i3, a tiling window manager. I like it because it's lightweight and doesn't use much battery. My config can be found here. I tried i3gaps at one point but didn't feel like trying to fix the rendering artifacts so I switched back.

coding

I use the trial version of Sublime Text 3 on my personal computer, and neovim in the terminal. I use the default theme with the VSCode Dark theme.

passwords

For passwords, I'm using pass, which is a GPG-encrypted password store. The passwords are checked into a git repository in order to maintain consistency between multiple devices (I'm using Android Password Store on my phone). Then, I bind $mod+p to a rofi script so I can access them easily.

music

On my personal computer, I'm using mpd, the music player daemon along with sonata, which is a GTK frontend. I like using mpd because this also allows me to display my current playing song in my i3 bar.

screenshot

I'm using a custom screenshot tool.

this website

The stack for this website looks like:

The source code is written as a set of Gutenberg config files.
This is then transpiled into static HTML + resources using Gutenberg, a static site generator.
Static files are served from a web root using nginx through a virtual host.
And here it is!

For deployment, I'm using dip, a customizable webhook server that I wrote that rebuilds the source code on push.
