|
|
|
|

** Software which Niels uses
|
2011-08-01 22:39:41 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Emacs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Emacs is a nice text editor. [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Get it]].
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Links: [[https://gitorious.org/nqpz-config/nqpz-config/blobs/raw/master/home/.emacs][my .emacs]] and [[https://gitorious.org/nqpz-config/nqpz-config/trees/master/home/.emacs.d][my .emacs.d]].

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Conkeror
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conkeror is a nice webbrowser, somewhat similar in design to
|
|
|
|
|
Emacs. [[http://conkeror.org/][Get it]].

|
|
|
|
*** StumpWM
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
StumpWM is a nice tiling, Emacs-like window mananger. It has much fewer
|
2012-02-16 23:58:52 +01:00
|
|
|
features than e.g. XMonad (another tiling wm), but it's simple and
|
|
|
|
|
efficient. [[http://stumpwm.antidesktop.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl][Get it]].

*** Trisquel
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I run Trisquel, a fully free as in freedom operating system. [[http://trisquel.info][Get it]].
|
2011-08-01 22:39:41 +02:00

2012-02-21 23:55:57 +01:00
|
|
|
*** Unison
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I use [[http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/index.html][Unison]] to synchronize files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
More and more people are beginning to rely on fancy stuff such as the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol)][internet]]
|
|
|
|
|
to synchronize their [[http://nxg.me.uk/note/2005/singular-data/][data]]. I don't. I can not be sure there is always fast
|
|
|
|
|
internet, and I cannot be sure that my data is secure, except if I spend time
|
|
|
|
|
encrypting it heavily.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When I am done using my desktop computer at the end of a day, I transfer files
|
2012-11-27 14:04:33 +01:00
|
|
|
from my desktop computer to an encrypted partition on my USB flash drive with
|
|
|
|
|
Unison. Then I place my USB flash drive in one of my left pockets and forget
|
|
|
|
|
about it. The next day, when I need to synchronize my files with my laptop, I
|
|
|
|
|
remember putting my flash drive in my lower left pocket. I pick it up and put it
|
|
|
|
|
in my laptop, and then I run Unison again.
|
2012-02-21 23:55:57 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2012-11-27 14:04:33 +01:00
|
|
|
It's fairly fast, secure and durable (I sometimes have poor or even none
|
|
|
|
|
connection when working on my laptop).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(Actually, my desktop computer died, so currently I use only my laptop.)

** Things which Niels uses but doesn't like
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-11-27 14:04:33 +01:00
|
|
|
*** Facebook
|
|
|
|
|
I used to not be on Facebook, but now I am. It annoys me, but I felt I had to.
|
|
|
|
|
I still believe that the solution to Facebook and other centralized services is
|
|
|
|
|
to use decentralized services. So in the case of "social networking", I ought to
|
|
|
|
|
use Diaspora, friendica, or something else instead of Facebook. In any case, I
|
|
|
|
|
don't seem to use social networking sites very much for some reason. Just look
|
|
|
|
|
at the number of posts I have on the StatusNet Identi.ca site. I try to use
|
|
|
|
|
Facebook as little as possible.
|
|
|

|
*** GitHub
|
|
|
|
|
When I want to make a git repository available online, I like to do it on the
|
|
|
|
|
server which also hosts metanohi, or a free software online host, such as one
|
|
|
|
|
running Gitorious. I don't quite like the very popular GitHub service, because
|
|
|
|
|
it is not free software. The negative effects of GitHub's proprietarity is that
|
|
|
|
|
its users cannot learn from studying GitHub's code, and that they cannot run
|
|
|
|
|
their own GitHubs. Users mostly use GitHub for public data, and since git
|
2012-11-27 14:04:33 +01:00
|
|
|
repositories are distributed, it is easy to move a git repository from GitHub to
|
|
|
|
|
another git repo hosting service --- just change the push address of your local
|
|
|
|
|
repository. All of this means that GitHub cannot cause serious problems when it
|
|
|
|
|
comes to control over the data you give to it (and I don't think it's as hungry
|
|
|
|
|
for data in general compared to Facebook).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As such, GitHub is far from being as great a problem as e.g. Facebook. But I
|
|
|
|
|
still don't like GitHub's attitude. I use GitHub because someone created a
|
|
|
|
|
repository to which I contribute code on GitHub, not because of its "social
|
|
|
|
|
coding". GitHub's focus on making branching, merging, etc. easy is probably the
|
|
|
|
|
right one, but I don't see why that can't be done in a decentralized way. After
|
|
|
|
|
all, git is decentralized.
