Caja is a file manager originally forked from Nautilus. It's used in MATE desktop environment, found in Ubuntu MATE or Linux Mint. Since it shares similar base with Nautilus, following guide also applies to Nautilus too (I haven't tested it though).

# Minify

[Minify](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minification_(programming)) html, css and js to remove characters that are not required for the code to function. This process involves removing white space/tab, line break and comments. I read somewhere that Google saves gigabytes of bandwidth just by removing line break, which surprised me how much line break alone costs when you have the popularity of Google.com.

To see this in action, check out this [job log](https://gitlab.com/curben/blog/-/jobs/101703188). As you can see, the resulting files are around 20% smaller. However, do note that its image compression dependencies have some [vulnerabilities](https://snyk.io/test/npm/hexo-all-minifier). This can be patched using [Snyk](https://snyk.io/).

VeraCrypt is a fork of the discontinued [TrueCrypt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueCrypt). It includes security improvements and fixes over the original—for example using much higher iterations (327,661-655,331 vs 1,000-2,000) to generate the header key—to make brute force more costly. This improvement along with supporting more ciphers and their combinations, means its storage format is incompatible to the original's. User still has the option to open TrueCrypt volume and (optionally, but recommended) convert it to VeraCrypt format.

KeePassXC is a fork of the discontinued [KeePassX](https://www.keepassx.org/). KeePassX started out as a Linux port of (previously Windows-only) KeePass. While both eventually become cross-platform, I stick with KeePassX (even on Windows) for being lighter and quicker to launch. The [Mono](https://www.mono-project.com/)-developed KeePass—like Java—makes it not quite as native as Qt-developed KeePass, thus feels slower on Linux. It last [released](https://www.keepassx.org/news/2016/10/609) in October 2016 with no further update since then.

uBlock Origin (uBO) is a popular ad blocker well-known for its low memory and CPU usage (compared to other ad blockers). The [dynamic filtering](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-quick-guide) allows granular control over filtering rules. It supports HOSTS syntax for blocking malicious websites. I created a [blocklist](https://gitlab.com/curben/urlhaus-filter) based on the Abuse.sh [URLhaus](https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/).
