When I was younger I wanted to have as many Spotify followers as possible and right now I would actually rather the other way around.
I’m doing a research about a ~thing~ and then I find this chart. You can basically put anything as its name and it can be used to prove anything. Projected food delivery market size. Projected number of people. Projected growth of the length of my cat (I don’t have a cat).

While our process correctly weeded out folks like Fyre Festival impresario Billy McFarland and, yes, even Elizabeth Holmes––one-time superstars who all wound up fraudsters––others slipped through.
Moved to Spotify and got blessed with this masterpiece: www.youtube.com/watch
Also I think I want to host Yunohost for me and wifey. But not on local machine, but some kind of VPS. It would be nice to be able to connect from everywhere to it, have an option to sync with it and have control of my own data. Might give it a shot quite soon!
That extension for Torn and no split-view is something that’s keeping me off using Safari only. I wonder also how good Google Meet is going to work on Safari, I’m gonna try tomorrow and maybe - just maybe - there’s still hope for it!
Thinking of just going all in Safari to give it a fair shot. You know - with all these filters, etc. I think extensions will work better on Safari (but there are fewer of them and there isn’t any for the browser game I play!).
That’s my replay / wrapped however you’d like to call it
The masculine urge of moving between different read it later apps without actually reading anything later
Kagi got me, I became Kagi Professional user (fuck yea I’m a Professional user)
No way around the greatness of user-generated playlists on Spotify. It’s just another world, Apple Music is way, way behind. Just because they treat them as second category playlists which they shouldn’t be.
Once you go Arc, you can’t go back. I miss Apple Pay though.
Thinking about getting that Kagi unlimited. I know what I said, I just find myself going back to these days when searching didn’t suck.
My Software EDC
24.11.2023
I saw Jack Baty talking about his Software EDC and I think this might be as interesting as defaults are. So let’s do it.
- Finder - not much to say here,
- Arc Browser - my main, default browser for Mac,
- Safari - sometimes I feel like browsing “less” internet, then I go to Safari also whenever I have to pay I’m using Safari so I can pay with Apple Pay,
- Tor Browser - I don’t know, downloaded it, put it into the dock but I didn’t really use it,
- Stock Calendar app,
- Obsidian - because I’m now Obsidian user apparently,
- Drafts - I was using drafts for most of my quick notes but…
- Tot - but Tot actually is a bit better for that, I love it and use it everyday on my Mac and I don’t even feel like I need to get iPhone counterpart (might just get it to pay for my Mac usage),
- Spotify - moved from Apple Music because Wifey made me do it (also it’s so much quicker than Apple Music ever was),
- Pocket Casts - my podcast player of choice,
- Things - personal to-do app,
- Akiflow - worky calendar with to-do app, works great, definitely here to stay but iOS app is right now underwhelming (thankfully I’m not using my phone for work most of the time, just to do calls),
- Home.app - to control our smart-home system,
- 1Password - self-explanatory,
- WebSSH - it isn’t the best ssh/sftp app, but it works great, syncs with my iPhone and I just like how it works, for most of my needs it’s more than enough,
- Mail.app - personal mail lives there,
- Mimestream - work mail lives here,
- MarsEdit - my blog/mastodon posting app of choice (this post is being created in MarsEdit!)
- Ivory - bought the yearly subscription, not really a fan but syncs with iPhone so I’m gonna use it until the end of it, then I’m gonna move exclusively to use Ice Cubes, 100%,
- GoodLinks - my read-it-later app of choice, I love how simple it is, syncs with iCloud, downloads everything to read it offline, just great
- Reeder 5 - synced with rss.wspanialy.eu, actually this is the only RSS Reader app that I was using for the past… 10 years? more?
- iBooks - yeah, not really sure, I’m not that big of a reader but I think I wanted to push myself more to read, didn’t really work out,
- Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram - work, family, friends,
- MacGPT - my ChatGPT client of choice, works pretty fine
- Slack - work,
- Restaumatic RePOS - our Point of Sales system app that I’m working on,
- Lightroom and Photoshop - so I can tune my photos to look even better,
- Sketch - actually right now I’m using it to create memes only, but this is also the only graphic tool I’m using whenever I want to create a mockup,
- Photos - photos,
- App Store - so I can quickly force update apps,
- Epic Games - to play Magic: The Gathering Arena,
- Steam - not really in use right now, but I have some games I’ve installed from Steam (and never opened them).
That’s it, that’s my stack. This is what I’m using nearly everyday. What’s yours?
First holidays of 2024 are booked. Can’t wait!

Honestly? Too much religion, god and stuff like that. It’s just weird.
And now - by mistake of setting custom DNS - I’ve fucked up BOTH of my local servers. Damn. DAMN.
