Tech Stack of This Site #

Services #

• GitHub Pages

  Unfortunately it dose not support IPv6. I am considering a switch to Netlify.

• icongram

  Serving icons on the fly. Thus I can directly link to Feather icons, without messing around with npm and JavaScript.

• DuckDuckGo

  The HTML form at the page bottom allows visitors to search this site via site search at DuckDuckGo.

Languages #

Just HTML and CSS. 100% JavaScript free.

Static Site Generator #

Jekyll, just because GitHub Pages uses it.

Hardware #

• Intel NUC

  Compact. Inexpensive. Linux friendly.

• HP Z22n G2 Display

  Compact. Accurate color. 1920 x 1080 is sufficient for Linux.

• IKBC C87

  • Wired: Bluetooth keyboards may have troubles when booting a full-disk encryption Linux.
  • 80%: Less space but all functional keys (F1-F12, arrow keys, etc) are available.
  • Cherry MX Brown: Cherry MX Switches are reliable. Actually I am fine with both brown and red switches.
  • PBT: Resist to oil, sweat, and lotion. More durable.
  • Steel board: I dislike this. It makes the keyboard heavier.
  • Not programmable: Less convenient but acceptable.

• Razer DeathAdder Left-handed Edition

  One of the few left-handed mouses.

• iPhone SE

  A small portable phone. In fact I prefer Android phones, but Google only provides three years of security updates for Pixel phones. For example, Pixel 4a will not receive any security updates after 2023. I also prefer the first generation of iPhone SE, which is lighter and smaller. However, the first generation uses the A9 chip which is vulnerable to checkm8.

Software #

• Windows

  An init.d with more features than systemd to start Linux.

• Debian

  Under WSL at office and Ubuntu at Home.

• Firefox

  Firefox sucks. But other browsers suck more.

• vscode

  So I do pair programming with GitHub Copilot. Also it works well with WSL. And with gitpod, I can use vscode as long as I have access to Internet and a morden web browser.

• Leafpad

  Simple.

• Konsole

  The default terminal emulator in KDE. A feature-rich one.

• Dolphin

  Probably the most functional GUI file manager in Linux.

Wear #

All casual clothing, mostly H&M, Uniqlo, and Decathlon. I have no formal, semi-formal, or informal clothing. I usually ignore any dress code. I do not go places enforcing a non-casual dress code. I usually wear sneakers and prefer vintage style running shoes, those revised models originated from 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, light and comfort.
