my 2026 Windows working environment

  • apply for admin privileges on your laptop
  • exploration
    • which areas outside can you reach (and how: https, ssh, irregular ports)?
      • CryptDrive (…)
      • my home NAS
      • HS
  • Microsoft PowerToys
    • … zones … (for splitting huge screens)
  • Microsoft Sysinternals
    • process explorer
  • PuTTY
  • ssh (already comes with Windows, but YOU NEED TO SET UP YOUR CONNECTIONS – e.g. for backing up YOUR FILES (diary, tools, git repositories, …))
  • GNU Emacs
  • Git Bash
    • UNIX (AKA Linux) utilities
    • perl
    • git
  • xmlstarlet
  • my own tool set
    • create_snapshot.sh
    • MEGA IMPORTANT: continuous automatic backup of YOUR FILES
      • for as long as “automatic” is not yet possible and established
        • the “emergency action” must get established (REMEMBER the c*m*l dr*v*r with his fierceful face expression and his kalashnikov!!!)
        • backing up must get executed a couple of times each day
      • TARring
      • syncing
      • maybe: “git archive”
  • ??? busybox “w32”, preferredly with Unicode support
  • WSL – Windows Subsystem for Linux
