Notes

A few notes to self that should be kept around and possibly shared with the public.

Gender-neutral/gender-inclusive ways of addressing groups of people (somehow some people get this wrong all the time)

• pals
• mates
• people
• y'all
• everyone
• everybody
• folks
• cats and kittens (I know, most people aren't either, but it still seems nice; I've seen this used by Dinosaur Comics at least once, here)
• comrades
• creatures
• beings
• entities
• surface-dwellers (Unless you… want to include… fish or marine mammals, I guess? Or flying creatures?)
• everynyan/everymeow
• everylings
• buddies (apparently… Ryan North likes collecting gender-neutral words, too…)
• sweethearts (maybe don't actually use this one)

OSes and kernels

• CLIP OS
• Genode
• Fuchsia
• dahliaOS
• RedoxOS
• SpectrumOS
• Muen

Hardware

• Precursor
• Raptor Computing Systems

CLI tools and utilities

• tldr
• thefuck
• fortune
• cowsay, lolcat
• DEDA
• .zshrc
• Kakoune
• Pandoc ‒ try --pdf-engine=wkhtmltopdf (needs to be installed) if other things fail (especially if special characters are involved)
• mkcert or, even better, certstrap
• Paperkey (see here for a tutorial, note in the recovery step, gpg reading the piped output might not work, so you might have to put in a file and let GPG read that)

Apps (both desktop and mobile)

• Transportr - app from F-Droid for public transport lookup.
• ElectronMail - desktop client for ProtonMail.
• Présentation - macOS app for making presentations out of PDFs.

Book sources

• Gutenberg project
• Library Genesis

System hardening

• IsoAlloc. On macOS, use DYLIB injection

macOS

• Desktop sandbox
• Verified boot
• Hackintosh
• Hosts list

Networks/protocols

• IPFS
• Sphinx

Cool websites (not necessarily privacy friendly)

• gitignore.io

Tutorials

• WireGuard on OpenWrt (Turris)
• Global gitignores
• NixOS on RockPro64 (basically follow wiki, but use U-Boot 2020.07 instead of latest (nix-env -i /nix/store/k66wvh5h5vwdhx6n78nb50zpsn9ss2sg-uboot-rockpro64-rk3399_defconfig-2020.07, will be available at that path then)
• Upgrade Postgres on NixOS
• netcup API with cURL, netcup API docs
• Podman capabilities
• Tor and I2P on NixOS (several parts)

Baud rates

• RockPro64 w NixOS: 1500000 in bootloader, 9600 otherwise

Interesting medication

• Agomelatine (antidepressant, serotonine antagonist and melatonine agonist, improves sleep quality without commonly causing dizziness, no sexual dysfunction reported as side effect)
• Lumateperone (antipsychotic, various serotonergic and dopaminergic activity, less side effects and possibly more effective at reducing negative symptoms than other antipsychotics)
