Software Niels uses

Emacs

Emacs is a nice text editor. Get it.

Links: my .emacs and my .emacs.d.

Conkeror

Conkeror is a nice webbrowser, somewhat similar in design to Emacs. Get it.

Links: My .conkerorrc.

StumpWM

StumpWM is a nice tiling, Emacs-like window mananger. It has much fewer features than e.g. XMonad (another tiling wm), but it's simple and efficient. Get it.

Links: <@eval macros.titlelink('writings/stumpwm')@>, [[https://gitorious.org/nqpz-config/nqpz-config/blobs/raw/master/home.stumpwmrc][my .stumpwmrc]].

Trisquel

I run Trisquel, a fully free as in freedom operating system. Get it.

Unison

I use Unison to synchronize files.

More and more people are beginning to rely on fancy stuff such as the internet to synchronize their 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 from my desktop computer to 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.

It's fast, secure and durable (I often have poor or even none connection when working on my laptop).

Virtual existences

In order of randomness:

• My public friendica profile
• Libreplanet
• Identi.ca
• Filmaster
• Wikipedia
• GNU Savannah
• Gitorious
• Open Library
• LiteratePrograms
• Launchpad
• Uncyclopedia (don't take this one seriously)

Also, don't use Facebook (or Facebook-like social notworks). Both your data and your account is in Facebook's virtual hands. You have way too little control. Use Identi.ca, GNU SOCIAL, Diaspora, or something else instead.

I'm not on Facebook — I'm on friendica!

Apparently someone else sharing my first name and my last name is on Facebook. That's not me. I don't use PhageBook. I do, however, use friendica on Hongabar.
