+title: The Setup / Uses / Use this
+excerpt: >
+ This is a complete list of the tools, apps, services and hardware I use on a
+ regular basis. The list contains tools I use in my work as a web developer but
+ also tools I use at home.
+
+ If you're interested in similar lists, I highly recommend that you visit the

+Since i will never be interviewed for [[https://usesthis.com][Uses This]], I have interviewed myself.
+
+## Who are you, and what do you do?
+## What hardware do you use?
+
+When I started to code professionally in 2015, it was the first time I came in
+touch with a MacBook. I really like the finish of the hardware and stuck to it
+since. But, my current MacBook slowly but surely gets old, though. I'm currently
+waiting for the next release cycle of MacBooks and hope that Apple deprecates
+the TouchBar and improves the keyboard. There isn't a week on Twitter where I
+don't read about the issues people have with the butterfly-keyboard.
+
+Devices I currently own:
+
+- Apple MacBook Pro (Retina 13-inch, Late 2013)
+
+### Audio
+
+- JBL Flip 4
+
+## And what software
+
+Software is important to me. It helps me solve my problems on a daily basis. If
+a service is great I don't hesitate to pay a monthly subscription or a one-time
+fee.
+
+### Global services

+Considered the best password manager for 2020 by Wirecutter - https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-password-managers/
+

+
+#### Google One
+
+Google One is what you get when you pay for storage at Google. I mainly use the storage for Google Photos and to back up my NAS.

+
+#### Google Drive & Google Photos
+
+Since I'm a paying user of Google One this just follows
+
+#### Deezer
+
+I listen to a lot of music (99'000 minutes in 2020 😱). It helps me concentrate
+and focus on my work. While coding, I usually listen to soundtracks from movies
+or games. For leisure time I like to listen to Hip Hop or Amapiano.
+
+Here are some of my all time favourite albums and playlists.
+
+- Whiplash
+
+## macOS
+
+#### Other apps
+
+- Safari for everyday browsing
+- Sequel Pro/TablePlus for working with databases
+- Chrome for web development
+- Karabiner Elements to remap certain key
+- iTerm2
+
+## Android
+
+I don't have hundres of third-party apps on my iPhone. I've grown to love the
+simplicity of most iOS stock apps over the years.
+
+- Google Podcasts for the rare time I listen to podcasts
+- Office Holelens for scanning receipts and documents with my phone
+- Google Notes
+
+## Ubuntu
+
+ Kitty
+
+> It's the only software (besides Sublime) I run on my laptop that actually feels like it's using the 40 years of transistor improvements I'm paying for.
+
+- [[https:/morhetz/gruvbox][Gruvbox]] Color scheme
+- [[https:/microsoft/cascadia-code][Cascadia Code]] Font
+
+ Monospaced font that includes programming ligatures and is designed to enhance
+ the modern look and feel of the Windows Terminal
+
+- [[https://fishshell.com/][fish shell]] - The user-friendly command line shell
+
+ Surely, "Bash is the decease you'll die with, but won't die of", but:
+
+ - This shell has a blazing fast startup
+ - On top of that it has sane scripting ... which means no more ~fi~, ~esac~, and other oddities
+ - Intuitive wildcard support
+ - Function Autoloading
+ - builtins:
+ - math
+ - string can be used in place of sed, grep, tr, cut, and awk in many situations
+ - It has all of the goodies that zsh tries to emulate out of the box, namely:
+ - Inline auto-suggestions based on history enabled by default
+ - Smart Tab Suggestion - fish parses man pages and generated completion
+ - Syntax highlighting of commands while they are typed
+- [[https://startship.rs][🚀⭐️ Starship]] - The minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell.
+- [[https:/tmux/tmux/wiki][tmux]] terminal multiplexer + [[https:/tmuxinator/tmuxinator][tmuxinator]] (tmux session manager)
+- [[https://neovim.io/][Neovim]] - Text universal text editor
+- [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs]] - The one true editor
+
+
+ > While any text editor can save your files, only Emacs can save your soul
+
+ - I love /modal editing/ but not Vimscript. Also Bram Moolenar is nuts.
+ - Emacs taught me lisp, the UNIX philosophy, literate programming, the true meaning of "trade of"
+ - Emacs daemon - One emacs process handles all your frames whether you use a frame opened in a terminal via a ssh connection or X frames opened on the same host
+- [[https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/][kitty]] - the fast, featureful, GPU based terminal emulator

+## Roadtrip
+
+A road trip is an adventure. It doesn’t matter how far you go. But all adventures require a little planning (and one or two backup plans, in case things go sideways).
+
+## Adult
+
+Being an adult can be messy, stressful business, but that doesn’t mean you
+can’t have simple pleasures. Gear for people 21 and older cover sex toys,
+marijuana tools, and more. Have fun and be safe,
