Website
- Site generation:
- HyperSimp Generator: A custom build static site generator, I used to use Hugo, but I wanted something I could understand and more easily let me do things the way I prefer them.
- Jinja2 template engine: The main workhouse of the generator, it's really just a small tool that lets jinja do all the conversion work.
- Python: The generator is written in Python
- Hosting:
- OVH hosting: All I need is a VPS, it's reasonably priced and hosted in Europe.
- Caddy: The simplest HTTPS server I've ever come across, the caddyfile config format is both concise and simple.
- Hover: What's in a name?
Hardware
- Apple Mac Mini M4: Punches far above its weight.
- Fairphone 6: As good as any phone I've used so why not try to be at least a little more responsible.
- Kobo Libra 2: I'm shifting my reading more and more to physical, but a library-in-your-pocket is still a golden proposition. Well, actually, it's too big to fit in my pocket.
- Ayn Thor Pro: My favourite ever handheld, plays anything I need it to and (3)DS games look stunning on it, plays a fair share of modern indie games too. Also, just having a secondary android entertainment device loaded with games and audiobooks keeps me off dumber sides of the internet.
- Huion Kamvas 16 (Gen 3): Mainly sitting here as a secondary monitor for now, but I'll get to drawing on it properly one day, right?
Software
- Neovim: Vim in general is like the worms from Futurama. It rewires your brain and makes everything so much easier. Writing anywhere else becomes a nightmare.
- iTerm2: Terminal.app is the clankiest terminal app ever made and Kitty scares me.
- Yabai: This makes macos an operating system you can actually use. It's shocking how bad the default window management is on macos.
