Tooling

OpenSSH ships in Windows, sshd comes preinstalled on Server 2025, and PowerShell 7 remotes over SSH natively. A twenty-year follow-up to the Cygwin kludge, including the key-permissions gotcha that still bites everyone.

Replacing Starship entirely with a single Rust binary that handles the full prompt, including shell integration, exit status, command duration, and all. 4x faster than powerline-go.

plx is a 376-line Rust binary that renders my whole shell prompt. Splitting it out of my dotfiles into its own repo, and why a single-file tool was worth packaging properly.

Thirteen years of dotfiles, a new bootstrap script, and the system that lets me go from a bare Mac to a working development environment in one command.

Migrating dotfiles from Homebrew and Stow to Nix for cross-platform consistency between macOS and Linux systems.

Migrating 210 GB of personal files from Dropbox to S3 with rclone, saving $98 a year in the process.
