- This is not a comprehensive list -- this is just my most-used stuff.
-Windows 11, running on a HP Victus 16-e0xxx laptop. It came with the laptop and I have no good reason to replace it right now.
-Windows 10 and macOS Monterey, running on a late 2013 27-inch iMac.
-Arch Linux, running on an old Sony VAIO VPCCA1S1E.
-kitty if I'm using a standalone window manager, but I'll use whatever terminal emulator is provided. On Windows, I use Windows Terminal.
-zsh or fish on *nix systems, PowerShell on Windows.
-awesome and dwm as far as window managers go. I used to use i3-gaps.
-Cinnamon, Xfce and Plasma for full-blown desktop environments.
-Emacs, VS Code, Vim, Micro, the list goes on. I like a lot of text editors. Honourable mention to ed, the standard text editor!
-I use SLADE's built-in text editor whenever I'm working on Sonic: Lock & Load.
-Eh, it varies. Sometimes it's a spinning Firefox, sometimes it's a big ol' Edge. . .
-mpv for video and audio. It works really well, and it's super fast and cross-platform.
-GIMP most of the time.
-I use LaTeX with my custom preamble which requires LuaLaTeX.
-For when I'm too lazy to do that, I write in Markdown and convert to PDF or DOCX with pandoc if needed.
-For when I'm too lazy to do that, I give up and open LibreOffice Writer or MS Word.

- This website may look really nice and fancy, but it's really all just CSS doing that.
-This website's content is actually relatively minimalist. If you took away the CSS, everything would still be perfectly readable and understandable.
-Most of my web design philosophy comes from the Motherf-ing Websites: Original, Better, Best
-I should probably mention that none of this is meant in malice. Go ahead and make your website extremely ugly if you want to.
-HTML is plain text anyway, so text is fast, and accessible, and useful, and you should use text. That was a strange explanation.
-Do you like scrolling through massive amounts of parallax images trying to figure out what the hell it is you're meant to be reading? Yeah? Well, you're wrong. You're not designing an app, you're writing a web document.
-I'm supposed to make this non-offensive, aren't I?
-The defaults make it so text goes edge-to-edge, which sucks a lot if you're someone who uses 16:9 screens, which I'd say is most people. You should position your content in the middle of the screen for easier reading.
-Yeah, you can just run your browser in a window, buuuut, who's actually going to do that? (Most people, I'd say, lmao)
-This is of course optional (technically all of this is, but this more so), you don't need to do something like this.
-body {
- margin: auto;
- max-width: 500px;
-}
- By default, line spacing is kind of. . . really tight. If you adjust the line height, it helps for readability.
-body {
- line-height: 1.8;
-}
- h1, h2, h3 {
- /* Headings should have tighter spacing */
- line-height: 1;
-}
- It's a good idea to make the font size at least 16px, though I would personally go with 18px. The more readable it is, the better.
-Ideally, your website should look the same across all browsers and all platforms.
-Having the website be just text makes this extremely easy.
-You will probably need to set the viewport, unless you're one of those people who dislike mobile devices:
-<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">-
You're basically done after that.
-You might want to add media queries to set the width smaller so it doesn't look odd on mobile devices, but otherwise no further setup is required.
-If you're, uh, anyone, and you don't want your eyes bleeding with the fury of a thousand suns every time you open your computer. . . you probably use dark mode.
-And you probably want to have a dark mode for your website.
-Whether you want to just make your website dark and only dark or have it change depending on the user's preference, it's easy to do both.
-For the latter, you should use @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark), like this:
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
- body {
- color: #ffffff;
- background-color: #000000;
- }
-}
- This changes the colour scheme to white on black if your browser detects dark mode from your system settings.
-In case you want to have it dark by default (so that users of browsers that don't support prefers-color-scheme can still have it be dark), you can do the opposite:
body {
- color: #ffffff;
- background-color: #000000;
-}
-@media (prefers-color-scheme: light) {
- body {
- color: #000000;
- background-color: #ffffff;
- }
-}
- 1 almost any browser, because chances are your website isn't going to render well on a Tamagotchi. You should try to aim for cross-browser compatibility where possible, though.
