my stack

this is my "personal stack" — a collection of tools, habits, and things i rely on to keep myself sane. it's by no means a list of recommendations, just what i happen to use.

software

• os: macOS & Arch Linux with i3. macOS is my daily driver, but i have arch on my PC for when i'm feeling particularly bored.
• editor: primarily goland and micro (i don't actually like micro much, i just cba to move to nvim right now).
• terminal+shell: kitty with zsh.
• organisation: apple notes/calendar for literally everything lol (my todo list is called 'tu-tu-ru list').
• notes: i take notes in obsidian, using the "latex suite" and "extended mathjax" plugins to make my life slightly easier.
• browser: brave, of course.

(i'll probably put dotfiles etc up here at some point when i get a chance)

hardware

• laptop: 14" m2 macbook air
• keyboard: ZSA Moonlander.
• headphones: nothing ear (a).
• watch: custom modded Casio F-91W with inverted display and nato strap.
• bike: Trek Remedy 7 with CushCore tyre inserts.

wetware

this isn’t medical advice; it’s just what works for me lol

• NAC (2400mg weekdays): helps with excoriation disorder and mood stabilization.
• zinc (30mg daily): offsets NAC’s zinc depletion.
• vitamin D: because winter in the UK sucks lmao.

past experiments:

• magnesium: didn’t notice much benefit, so i stopped bothering.
• 5-methylfolate: same deal as magnesium.
• phosphatidyl serine: does help with stress somewhat, but it’s kind of prohibitively expensive for any real benefit.

future experiments:

• D-serine: this looks very interesting as an NMDA antagonist.

psychoware

• music: i really love techno, especially Tzusing, Panther Modern, and Hiro Kone. i also like lots of other genres, like trip hop, city pop, and dnb/jungle.
• cooking: i make omurice possibly too often. i also enjoy making fajitas and yakiudon. i'm always up for learning to cook new things. banh mi is currently my next goal.
• anime: recently on a sad anime binge (Your Name, A Silent Voice, 5 Centimeters Per Second).
• drinks: i love nice coffee and matcha. i have an aeropress and a proper matcha set for making great drinks.
• art: i have a slight obsession with pylons, so i take lots of photos of pylons, and adjacent stuff (please dm me pictures of pylons lmfao). i also make glitch art. real ones know that i used to make music too.
• sports: i'm a massive adrenaline junkie therefore i really love mountain biking. i also climb frequently, and i want to get back into BMXing at some point.
