FUSE related

osxfuse (and thus sshfs) is deprecated from Homebrew, there is this tap [here] that I can use to install osxfuse and sshfs.

iTerm and VS Code font

• iTerm should be set by Profiles.json
• VS Code instructions

oh-my-zsh

Download instructions here, but this is already in my dotfiles folder

Alfred plugins

• Symbols Search
• Open with Sublime Text
• IMDB
• WiFi
• Synonyms

Set my Mac host/computer name

• Open a terminal.

NAME="basnijholt-macbook"
sudo scutil --set HostName $NAME
sudo scutil --set LocalHostName $NAME
sudo scutil --set ComputerName $NAME
dscacheutil -flushcache

Quick dock hiding

See this StackExchange answer.

Restart my Mac.

Why not to install everything at once?
brew cask install alfred bartender boom brave calibre cheatsheet cryptomator dropbox-encore etcher filebot filezilla flash-player flux handbrake inkscape istat-menus iterm2 keepingyouawake lyx mendeley-desktop multibit musicbrainz-picard openoffice onyx polymail qsyncthingtray skype spectacle spotify sublime-text torbrowser transmission tunnelblick vlc webtorrent

That's the way I do it when installing everything at once, but this gives me more oversight ;)
