Uses

Editor + Terminal

For Editor I use VS Code and Vim/Neovim. I also use Emacs for the excellent org-mode.

For shell I use ZSH with Starship installed. For terminal I use WezTerm but I am also trying Ghostty.

My dotfiles are here

Desktop Apps

For web browser - I usually use Safari and Firefox.

For RSS reader I use the excellent Reeder (mac/iOS).

For work, I use Microsoft Excel, Powerpoint and Word - I never use these on a personal machine (I use Apple iWork suite on rare occasion).

Backup Strategy

I host my files on a Synology NAS and back it up to Rsync.net - with mirrors to local USB and cloud sync where needed.
