stow
there are many ways to manage dotfiles, i previously used a bare git repository that directly placed all files in respective locations. as i regularly switched between devices, i ended up with varied configurations for each device. managing this with branches or multiple repositories in git seemed inconvenient, so i looked for an alternative method.
since then i chose to use gnu stow to manage my configuration. stow manages symlinks using directories as packages. a directory holds files in a structure mirroring their target destination.
so a configuration file at package/.config/package/config can be stowed to ~; this file is now accessible at ~/.config/package/config, as expected by the respective program.
neovim.
using lazy.nvim as my plugin manager. also a lot of mini.nvim modules by evgeni chasnovski. obsidian.nvim has been great as a heavy obsidian user. my neovim configuration changes frequently, these are the packages i currently use.

i also configured neovim to use the terminal colors by default. thanks to mini.base16 syntax highlighting and the like work properly.

newsboat.
my rss reader of choice. i've updated keybind and macros to have navigation other TUIs that i use. importantly, i've added keybinds to open articles in different programs. i find this necessary, since i follow youtube channels and podcasts with rss.
the external "readers" i use include mpv, w3m, rdrview & speedread.

mpv.
mpv is the best video player i've ever used. minimal, highly configurable, open source and a rich plugin ecosystem.
awesomewm.
core part of my computing experience, i use awesomewm on all of my personal computers. i even have a separate post about it.
