Awesome list! Thanks for providing links.
I’d drop keepassxc and pick up GNU password store or gopass. Pgp+git and a nice cli to wrap them onto an encrypted password store that’s pretty easy to move around these days.
GNU password store
The tool, unless something has changed in the meantime, has one major drawback for me. The filename of the encrypted files is displayed in plain text. However, I don’t want people to be able to see, for example, which Internet sites I have an account with. Sure you can name the files otherwise. But how should I remember for example that the file dafderewrfsfds.gpg contains the access data for Mastodon?
In addition, I miss with pass some functions. As far as I know, you can’t save file attachments. Or define when a password expires. And so on. Pass is therefore too KISS for me.

A matter of opinion, I would say. I prefer my Keepass file which I can access via my Nextcloud instance or which is stored on a USB stick on my keychain.
By the way, the file is secured with a Yubikey in addition to a Diceware password. So saving it in the so-called cloud is no problem. Just as a note, in case someone reading my post wants to make smart remarks about the cloud.
micro text editor is very good. powerful and simple.
For me, this is the main reason why I use micro. And because I don’t like the handling of vim. Funnily enough, I’ve been playing around with Helix for a while now and I really like the editor, even though it’s a modal editor, just like vim. Maybe because of the selection → action model. The question is, do I like Helix better than micro? I still have to answer that question for myself at some point.
I see a lot of the good ones are already mentioned. But I can’t use a linux system for more than an hour without ‘thefuck’ installed
Crucial indeed
Oh wow. Neat!
WTF is this?
Yes.
nice one
Well I’m installing this as soon as I get home.
Depends on what the machine is for.
Am I really the first.
Nano!!!
Micro!!!
Comes preinstalled anyways, but vim is the way for me.

As boring as it is, gcc.
I feel that.
I still favor gcc over clang
I switched to clang a long time ago, when gcc’s support for C++11 was not that good.
Why do you personally prefer gcc?
I develop mostly in C and largely for creating shellcode.
I have run into very weird issues with clang relocating code and data segments even when using a custom linker script
- Tmux
- NeoVim
- Git
- FZF
- Fish
- ssh Lots of others, but these are the day-to-day
+1 for fish shell. The lack of POSIX compliance really doesn’t matter at all day-to-day, but all the qol features that the shell has absolutely do matter and they are so worth it.
And I forgot Python. As a Data Engineer. Whoops!
