Welcome to TechTea, my humble slice of the internet. This is the personal website of
Matthew Lamont. Here you will find my blog, projects, and anything else that interests me.
My blog consists of articles, these are longer form content focused on
FOSS Software, Digital Freedom and Personal Digital Sovereignty, and Privacy. There is also a notes section, these are smaller titbits that I find interesting. Notes are still a new section to the site so there is not much there yet, but soon it will have a little bit of everything that doesn’t fit nicely into an article.
I have been inspired by the indie web to transition to this new format for TechTea. If you have any suggestions feel free to
contact me. This site is ever changing and always expanding so feel free to subscribe to our RSS feeds:

I use a lot of programs between multiple computers. Most of the time these computers have different operating systems so I need cross-platform applications. Open source programs have come a long way over the years and no many can compete with commercial software. I use open source software because it is cross0platform, usually light weight, and it is free. I use these programs on both my dad’s Windows Desktop and my Linux laptop.
I just started this blog.
I just got Cairo-Dock working on my Linux computer. I don’t know why I need a dock, but it was hard to instal and it looks nice now that I got it working. It is very customizable and even has an application launcher. It was designed for the Gnome desktop environment, so it did not look so nice until I modified it to look good on KDE.
