+### Headphones

+### OS: Arch BTW
+
+One day I will switch to NixOS. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
+
+### Terminal Emulator: Ghostty (Zsh)
+
+Been pretty happy with Zsh, Oh My Zsh, and Ghostty for a while now (since Deceember 2025)
+
+### Multiplexer: Herdr
+
+Been using herdr since July 2026 and before that I used... no multiplexer! Herdr was really the first thing that felt useful enough to use
+
+### Text editor: Neovim (Lazyvim), VSCodium
+
+For about 6 months between December 2025 and June 2026, I used VSCodium. Before that, I had used Neovim for about a year. Now I'm back to Lazyvim
+
+### Version Control: Jujutsu, GitHub, and Tangled
+
+When possible I mirror things to GitHub and Tangled. I'd prefer to use Tangled but my social community isn't quite established there. Also, I've been playing around with JJ on side-projects for a bit and I do really like it!
+
+### Browser: Helium and Fennec
+
+Helium on Desktop, Fennec on Mobile. It's really that simple!
+
+### AI: Opencode, Codex, and Crush
+
+Depends on the task and budget! Gen
+
+### Email: Purelymail and Thunderbird
+
+Hard to beat Purelymail on price! Doesn't hurt that I like their honesty as well. Thunderbird sort of just works and lets me browse a unified inbox (including Outlook Exchange work/school servers) on desktop.
+
+### Calendar: Thunderbird
+
+### Messaging: Beeper, Slack, Signal, MMS
+
+### Notes: Logseq
+
+### Document Editing: LibreOffice
