The operating systems I use are Artix Linux with Hyprland and zsh on desktop, and GrapheneOS on mobile. I use the linux-hardened kernel and generally try to follow the guidelines in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Security.
NeoVim.
See my .dotfiles.
Brave Browser on desktop, Vanadium on mobile. For my search engine I use SearXNG.
KeePassXC on desktop, KeePassDX on mobile.
OBS for recording and Kdenlive for editing. I have tried many many video editors, but Kdenlive is the least worst so far. I previously used DaVinci Resolve, but I’d prefer to use FOSS even if it’s not as high quality. Maybe someday I’ll write my own video editor…
For Matrix I use SchildiChat.
For email I use Thunderbird on desktop and on mobile.
For keeping track of my investments I use Portfolio Performance. My Bitcoin wallet is Electrum and my Monero wallet is just the official one.
Books I would recommend.
“Those who do not have Christ in them are full of anxiety. But when man grasps the deepest meaning of life, then all his anxiety goes away… Do not worry about anything. Anxiety is the devil. When you see anxiety, know that it’s the devil’s work.”
- St. Paisios the Athonite
“Get your finances in order and work on your goals - be ambitious and driven. Learn to lead, beginning with family like your mother and sister, or with friends by planning events, meet-ups, family dinners etc and start to take decisions. Address any personal traumas and work on healing. Improve your flirting and communication skills. Always be authentic and unapologetically yourself. Process your emotions, journaling would be a great idea, surround yourself with mentors and people who align with your goals and values. Embrace your shortcomings and fears and accept the things which you cannot change. Set values, standards, and qualities for yourself. Seek a woman who aligns with these values. Always be a chooser, not a chaser. Always qualify. Understand female nature, their needs, and your own needs. That’s it.”
