software and tools i use regularly

This page is inspired by two awesome projects: https://uses.tech/ and https://usesthis.com/. Check them out to see what other people are using

My hardware

My main hardware is a thinkpad7480s running Ubuntu, which connects to a docking station with a bigger screen when I’m at my desk.

A picture of a wooden desk, with a wite wall in the background. At the center of the desk there is a 24' screen, that is connected to a thinkpad covered in stickers. It's difficult to describe how cool the stickers look like. They are mostly black and white, with brown tones. They look extremely cool. At the corners of the image you can see the leaves and some branches of an indoor plant. On the screen you can see gnome, with a terminal and wireshark opened on a coloured background

I’m not really a hardware person, and unfortunately I don’t have any fancy homelab to show off. But don’t worry, I spend the time and money saved from that hobby into expensive cloud infrastructure anyway

My tools

neovim - My main editor
tmux - A terminal multiplexer. Combined with vim, it’s how i navigate and organize multiple terminals and projects.
docker - Together with Docker-compose, it’s how i manage most of my local development and testing environments.
git - It’s how i manage all my projects, my desktop environments, and my server infrastructure as a fan of the gitops approach.
webstorm - A powerful ide for the web. Sometimes vim is just not the right tool
burp suite - An efficient tool to test and break apis.
gdb + pwndbg - The gdb debugger, enhanced
lens - A kubernetes client
