    Mac mini (M1, 2020)

    Their words

    I use a Mac mini (M1, 2020), 16 GB memory. It's working great so far for recording. Very quite and fast enough for my kind of editing.

    I have a couple of 24'' ASUS VG248 Full HD monitors. I use one to record the screen and the other to have some notes/code opened that I look at while recording.

    ScreenFlow

    Their words

    For screen recording and editing I use ScreenFlow. I used to use Camtasia which I got for a good price using a promo code. However when I needed to upgrade to the newest version I found out that ScreenFlow is almost half the price and it does everything that I want.

    Sendy

    Their words

    I use Sendy for newsletters. It's a self-hosted service which uses Amazon Simple Email Service. It's written using PHP and thus it needs the LAMP stack to be hosted. I use a DigitalOcean droplet with the LAMP stack installed to host it.

Where they publish

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
