Components used

  • s6

  • execline - scripting language used for some scripts in ~/.local/bin

  • alacritty - non-VTE based terminal without much cruft (in my opinion)

    • I was at one point interested in trying st, but it’s a different garbage fire entirely.

  • bspwm - tiling window manager

  • sxhkd - keyboard shortcut daemon

  • polybar - desktop panel (clock, workspace switcher, window titles, system tray, now playing, etc.)

    • I’d like something simpler, but nothing else seems to have as much usability. I also considered lemonbar in the past.

    • xtitle - used as a script module on polybar, prints window titles, printing new titles on focus change; one would think xdotool or something most people already have would do this, but it doesn’t seem so.

  • xsecurelock - screen locker with emphasis on high security

    • xss-lock - integrate locker with suspend events

  • unclutter-xfixes - hides mouse pointer when typing and after a period of time

  • catgirl - IRC client

    • I use the catgirls script located in ~/.local/bin to make it integrate well with tmux and my desktop keyboard shortcuts.

  • pounce - IRC bouncer; running on a different machine

  • litterbox - IRC logger; running on a different machine

  • tmux

  • mess - system for creating temporary, yet archived working directories (a port of the Ruby script is located in ~/.local/bin)

  • Music Player Daemon

  • aerc - mail client

    • Buggy, written in Go, and somewhat underdeveloped, but it’s not as irritating to configure as mutt or neomutt.

  • mbsync - mailbox synchronizer, synchronizing between remote IMAP folders and local Maildirs.

  • mblaze - maildir tools, only currently used for the new mail count in polybar

  • rwc - "run when changed"

  • newsboat - RSS reader

  • idioms - scripting idioms used throughout ~/.local/bin

  • kakoune - modal text editor that integrates nicely with other Unix tools

  • pp - preprocessor that calls out to shell

    • I’ve considered just switching and learning how to use m4 recently, though. Cuts out a dependency.

  • dunst - notification daemon

  • rofi - the best dmenu alternative
