Cheap and reliable Node.js hosting starts at $3/month, and $1/month static HTML hosting

These are my dot files. I've primarily been a MacOS user for most of the time I've been collecting dotfiles, but I've recently switched to Linux. I primarily use Arch, Arco, Manjaro, or some other Arch based distro; so that's where I take my que.

This repository contains scripts that I use to provision my new computers/servers that I use day-to-day.

I maintain it so that I can be productive within 10 minutes of encountering a new or re-installed PC.

The focus is on functionality. Features are only added, in minimal form, if I use them regularly.

General Tools

Purpose	Tool(s)	Comments
Task management	dstask	See section on time management below. Another mental offload -- see GTD
Text editing	vim / neovim	FZF integration with gruvbox theme and polyglot syntax pack.
Password management	pass	Secured with Yubikey and GnuPG2, synchronised with git. Mental offload as it is no longer necessary to remember dozens of passwords. Browserpass used for Firefox integration.
Code search	ripgrep + fzf	See `rgfzf` and `vimfzf` commands in `scripts/` and bindings below.
Version control	git	GnuPG2 used for code signing. GPG agent forwarded to remote hosts with `gssh`
SSH Agent	GnuPG2	Used with a Yubikey. See my set up guide.
Security device	Yubikey 5	Used with GnuPG2 to hold GPG keys and SSH key. Also used for 2FA.
Note taking/minutes	git + vim / neovim	I use a git repository of markdown files to organise ideas and other notes. Yet another mental offload.
Personal cryptography	GnuPG2	Used with a Yubikey. See my set up guide.
Shell	bash/zsh	I used to use fish but it's incompatible with bourne shell which makes maintenance a pain.
Terminal multiplexing	tmux	Bindings adjusted to match vim
Terminal	Alacritty	GPU accelerated and minimal. I also use `uxterm.`
Terminal Font	Hack	Switched from Adobe Source Code Pro as 0 and 8 were too similar
Window management	i3wm	Much faster than Unity, Gnome 3 etc as there are no animations. See openbox if you don't like tiling window managers.

Specific tools

Purpose	Tool(s)	Comments
VPN	wireguard managed with dsnet	Wireguard is simple, fast and reliable. It will become the standard VPN.
Web browser	firefox	Fast since Quantum. Animations disabled for speed.
Disk space reclaim	ncdu + tmpreaper	Tools for clearing up disk space. I run the latter against /tmp/ with cron.
Server configuration	ansible	Idempotent, agentless configuration management. Used with git.
HTTP Client	httpie	curl alternative with better UX. Sometimes used with jq.
System backup	restic
Cloud backup	rclone
CAD	OpenSCAD	Limited but powerful if you plan ahead
CAD	CadQuery	B-REP kernel instead of just CSG. More powerful, currently learning.
Diagramming	draw.io	Diagram creation software. See also dia, graphviz, tikz.
SVG optimisation	svgo	Useful for inlining SVGs in a web page
Audio/video conversion	sox + ffmpeg + gstreamer
Web crawling	httrack	Better than wget for crawling (i.e. it works)
Document conversion	pandoc	See also pdflatex, which I use for formal reports.
Static blog	hugo	Chosen in an attempt to make myself stop writing blog engines and write articles instead.
Git history viewer	tig
Secret management	git-crypt	Used API secrets mainly.
Music library curation	beets	Automates curation of music library
CLI Benchmarking	hyperfine
Secure file sending	ffsend	Terminal client for Firefox send
File watching	entr	Simpler than inotify-tools

Notable features

Workflows and application configuration profiled for speed. See section on Latency for more information.
Prompt/hostname colour based on hostname to make it easy to distinguish between hosts.
SSH+GPG agent runs locally, forwarded remotely. SSH_AUTH_SOCK is synchronised between tmux sessions.
history is globally shared, as I use my history as a database to search
History is automaticall filtered: History is de-duplicated, most recent persists. History is also filtered leaving only useful commands. This increases the SNR in the history file about 5x, which makes searching the history using FZF quicker. History is only cleaned up on shell exit, so you won't lose your immediate history which allows for command correction.

Custom bindings

Binding	Context	Description
`CTRL+p`	bash/zsh/vim	Search current directory with FZF and launch editor with results. Tab to select multiple.
`r <string>`	bash/zsh	Search current directory with ripgrep for files containing `<string>`, filter with FZF and launch editor with results. Tab to select multiple.
`CTRL+r`	bash/zsh	History search using fzf.
`tm`	bash/zsh	Launch or connect tmux single session. This is automatic if there is already an unconnected session.
`CTRL+s`	bash/zsh	Prepend `sudo` to the prompt and move the cursor back to the end of the prompt.

See home/.aliases, bin/, home/.functions.sh and home/.tmux.conf for more handy shortcuts/wrappers/bindings.

OSes with automatic provisioning.

./.sh will set up a fresh install with all of my regular applications, system configuration and my user configuration.

Check the OSes specified in ./bootstrap.sh for an up-to-date list of OSes that have automatic provisioning. Note that the automatic provisioning may be in various different states of stability depending on what I'm currently using and if newer OS versions have been released.

One liners

Obviously inspect the script to see what it does before you run it. Note that it will clobber your settings files.

MacOS:

curl -sL https://github.com/naggie/dotfiles/raw/master/bootstrap.sh | sh && zsh

Ubuntu/Fedora:

wget -O - https://github.com/naggie/dotfiles/raw/master/bootstrap.sh | sh && zsh

FreeBSD:

fetch -qo - https://github.com/naggie/dotfiles/raw/master/bootstrap.sh | sh && zsh

Latency and speed

See my notes on latency.

Tips

Run a vim selection through a command with :!cmd. Useful for formatting as well as copying on a mac: !pbcopy. Write from the clipboard with r!pbpaste.
Keep useful local environment variables in ~/.env-local.sh

An excellent guide and background to a lot of the tools used here is the MIT missing semester.

Operational security

With major services being compromised more and more, good OPSEC is important. I use:

2FA (U2F) where possible
A different password for every service (important to prevent attacker pivot)
Yubikey (as an openPGP smartcard) to store my SSH and GPG keys. See my set up guide.
Full-disk encryption for every device
Lock-screen for every device
Backup 2FA codes, backup passwords and master passwords are in a physical fire safe
I may switch to a password manager (pass or Keepassxc)
UBlock origin on Firefox
HTTPS everywhere on Firefox
Own web services configured with A+ rating from ssllabs (best cipher suite, protocol etc)
Regular updates of all software
Subscription to vulnerability mailing lists
Don't forward SSH/GPG agent by default

LiveCD

On an ubuntu host, run remaster-livecd.sh with an xubuntu ISO to produce a remastered xubuntu LiveCD with dotfiles preinstalled. I use this preconfigured with ./install-naggie.sh to allow me to start using new or foreign PCs immediately.

It will soon be replaced with an arch equivalent.

Mode of operation

Dotfiles can provision a fresh install of an OS, or build a live/install CD. In order to manage the combinatorial complexity of supporting so many platforms, the install process has been changed to the following:

bootstrap.sh -- Installs git and ensures the repository exists. Can operate independently from this repository. Uses sudo Detects platform and executes all of the next steps:
provision.sh -- Runs the following scripts after sourcing utils.
install-dependencies/* -- Installs dependencies for the given platform
system-configuration/* -- Configures global system settings for all users for the given platform, eg keyboard layout. A UK keyboard and timezone is assumed.
user-configuration.sh -- Installs generic user-specific configuration. No root required from now on.
extras-naggie.sh -- Patches user configuration with configuration specific to my identity
