Uses

What I run on — hardware, Gentoo config, Hyprland + Noctalia, editor, shell, and the rest of the stack.

Living document. Starts as a list; grows into an essay. Each section eventually links out to a deeper writing post when there's enough to say.

OS

  • Gentoo Linux (~amd64) — daily driver. Recompiles are a feature.
  • Custom kernel — hand-rolled config against the specific hardware.
  • GRUB + Dracut + LUKS2 — root disk encryption unlocked from a password-protected GPG key. Writeup coming.

Window manager + shell

  • Hyprland — Wayland compositor, scrollable tiling, custom animations.
  • Noctalia — status bar / widget stack.
  • Custom Plymouth boot theme.

Terminal stack

  • kitty — GPU-accelerated terminal.
  • tmux — session multiplexing. Scripted layouts per project.
  • zsh — shell. Minimal prompt, heavy history.

Editor

  • Neovim — LSP, Treesitter, custom config.
  • MDX for writing (this site).

Hardware

Dotfiles

Security + privacy

  • Full-disk encryption on everything.
  • Skylaski VPN (project) — self-serve WireGuard service for trusted networks.
  • Hardware 2FA where it matters.

Crypto / web3

  • Quai Network — primary target for smart contract work.
  • Quais.js SDK — Quai's JS client.
