• Firefox
  • Bitwarden
  • Decentraleyes
  • Firefox Multi-account containers
  • HTTPS Everywhere
  • I don’t care about cookies
  • Mailvelope

• Visual Studio Code
  • Ascetic colorscheme

Tips & notes

• To directly run tmux with alacritty you can edit your DesktopEntry like that:

• Use Visual Code Studio from FlatHub to have a Microsoft-free compiled binary. Because binaries given by Microsoft are not open source.
• My dotfiles are on Gitlab.
• I don’t have standing desk, but I have a nice seat. My back never hurts.
• My terminal and editor have grey & white (monochrome for editor) colorschemes. I advize you to try it if you have regular headcaches.
• I’m self hosting some services like: Shaarli, TinyTinyRss, Nextcloud, RSS-Bridge and more.

The most important part, buy a nebulizer diffuser it’s amazing. My favorite essential oils are “Pepper mint”, “Tea tree” & “Niaouli”.
