Most of this starts as friction: a fresh machine that takes too long to rebuild, files that refuse to stay organized, settings that should be repeatable instead of remembered. The work here is practical, documented, and close enough to daily use that it has to stay honest.
These are the two builds I would point to first: one for rebuilding a machine, one for making daily media use feel shaped instead of accidental.
A one-command Windows bootstrap that turns a fresh machine into a working environment: apps, fonts, shell profile, terminal config, editor defaults, Git setup, and the small preferences that usually vanish between rebuilds.
A deeply tuned media player configuration built around an ultrawide display, automatic HDR switching, hardware decoding, AI upscaling shaders, and a keyboard and mouse control scheme that makes playback feel deliberate.
The smaller media tool that still earns its spot.
A yt-dlp wrapper with quality presets, audio-only mode, browser cookie handling, and shell aliases that keep media downloads one command away.
