  • ODROID-C2 Liked

    I also rely significantly on a home server built from an ODROID-C2. In the past this role had been filled by older Raspberry Pi models, but the ODROID is well-suited as a server.

  • mpv Liked

    I use mpv for most media consumption. Its minimalistic keyboard interface is perfectly suited for my needs.

  • OpenBox Uses

    I dislike big desktop environments, so instead I use OpenBox - bare-bones, without any task bar, start menu, etc.

  • Tridactyl Liked

    Firefox is my favorite web browser. This is in large part due to Tridactyl, an add-on that makes the interface Vim-like, which makes the interface far more capable.

    For the terminal emulator itself I usually use xterm because it's so configurable and featureful.
