About

Things I am

• Transgender
• Lesbian
• AuADHD
• Disgrace to the general public

Things I do

• Programming
• Playing video games
• Socializing on the Internet

Tools I use

Programming languages

• TypeScript/JavaScript
• C#
• Rust
• Kotlin
• Java
• Lua
• HTML/CSS/Sass
• C(++) (when I have to)
• Python (rarely)

I usually program in C#, TypeScript, and Rust. I’m able to hack my way around other languages when I need to, though!

Operating systems

• Windows 11 (dual-boot desktop)
• Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop (dual-boot desktop, laptop)
• Proxmox (“lmaobox” home server, “notbox” dedicated server)
• Rocky Linux (“cabbit” home server, “electrope” dedicated server)
• NixOS (LXC containers)
• Debian (other misc servers)
• pfSense (firewall/router)

I dual-boot Windows and Fedora on my desktop and use exclusively Fedora on my laptop. My newer servers use Rocky, but my older ones still use Proxmox. I had a Nix phase, but am actively moving away from it.

Tech and programming

• Windows Terminal, Konsole (terminal)
• Visual Studio Code (TypeScript/JavaScript, Rust, other misc. languages)
• Rider (C#, F#)
• Zed (TypeScript/JavaScript, Rust)
• IntelliJ IDEA (Java, Kotlin)
• Android Studio (Java, Kotlin)
• CLion (C, C++)
• WebStorm (TypeScript/JavaScript)

I primarily use Visual Studio Code, Rider, and Zed, falling back to Visual Studio Code for most misc file editing. I use Vim emulation in my editors (but I’m not very good at it). For styling, I use Catppuccin Latte as a theme, and either Comic Code Ligatures or Inconsolata Nerd Font for my font.

Reverse engineering

• Binary Ninja, IDA, Ghidra (decompilers)
• x64dbg, Cheat Engine (debuggers)
• 010 Editor, ImHex (hex editors)
• mitmproxy, Fiddler (web proxy)

I tend to do most of my reverse engineering on Windows, because I don’t like working inside of Wine. I don’t suggest using Cheat Engine nowadays because of its adware-filled installer.

Internet and chat

• Firefox, Zen (web browsers)
• Thunderbird, Betterbird (email)
• Discord
• Signal
• Gajim (XMPP)
• Cinny (Matrix)
• Quassel (IRC)

I use Betterbird on Linux because of its tray icon. I use moonlight with my Discord client (because I made it). I don’t check Cinny or Quassel often.

Media

• foobar2000, Spotify (music)
• nomacs (images)
• VLC (videos)
• Jellyfin (shows/movies/family videos)

In the future, I’d like to stop using Spotify completely, and only listen to music I buy off of Bandcamp.

Creative work

• paint.net, Krita (image editor)
• DaVinci Resolve (video editing)
• Audacity (audio recording)
• OBS Studio (recording, streaming)
• Blender (3D modeling, rarely)

Krita is traditionally an art program, but I use it as an image editor on Linux because I don’t like GIMP. I don’t suggest using Audacity nowadays because of its heavy push on cloud saves. I only use Blender to fix and arrange models, since I don’t know how to model.

Organization and personal life

• Vikunja, Tasks.org (todo list management)
• Obsidian (note taking)

I tend to not use Obsidian much, but I used to more frequently in the past. Most of my note taking nowadays happens in the Signal “Note to Self” channel and a personal Discord server. Vikunja is a little buggy with the web UI, so I only use it through Tasks.org.

Misc

• Mullvad (VPN)
• qBittorrent (torrents)
• FreshRSS, Fluent Reader (RSS)
• Kagi (search engine)
• Home Assistant (smart home)
• Immich (image backup)
• Moonlight, Sunshine (remote desktop)
• ShareX, Spectacle (screenshots)
• Vial (keyboard management)
• PowerToys (various tweaks)

In addition to this list, I also use a custom new tab page that I wrote myself, which combines Kagi + Vikunja + FreshRSS + OpenWeather.

Gaming

• Steam
• XIVLauncher (FINAL FANTASY XIV)
• Prism Launcher (Minecraft)
• RuneLite, Bolt (Old School RuneScape)
• Epic Games Launcher
