Computers

Thinkpad T490

Daily driver. Intel i7, 40GB, 1TB HDD Arch Linux. The main computer I use for everything. 99.9% of the time it's on the desk connected to a dock, monitor and keyboard.

Thinkpad T460

"Throw-around laptop". This one stays out in the living room and is basically only for looking stuff up, reading Reddit, buying stuff online and other similar non-important activities. I love how solid this laptop feels and I really like the old rectangle power jack. Don't have to worry about it bending and/or coming loose. Also this think is pretty tough. It gets knocked over, stepped on, spilled on and tossed around just about every day and it still powers through. Would recommend.

Desktop Tower

Ryzen 7 5700X, 64GB, 1TB, RTX 3060 Ti, Ubuntu 22.04, KDE Plasma. This computer is basically just for playing around with Stable Diffusion, LLMs, video editing and other various heavier GPU tasks that the other computers aren't too great at.

MacBook Pro

This laptop has one purpose and that's developing with XCode. There's nothing more to say really. I don't like it. Update: For whatever reason I've decided to take up another hobby, film photography, and Adobe doesn't play well with Linux. So now the MacBook is primarily a Lightroom computer.

Keyboard

No Name

30% split ortholinear designed by me in 2020. Case was 3d printed on an Ender3 v2 with Overture Matte Light Pink filament. Keycaps are just some random blanks from The Key Co.

Phone

Google Pixel 4a

It's a Google Pixel with the GrapheneOS ROM, so there's no Google anywhere on this phone except the logo on the back. I only use my phone for two things: 1. Talking 2. Texting. And fortunately, all four of the people I talk to on a regular basis were cool with downloading Signal, so there's that. I also have about four SIP numbers set up through Twilio/Linphone and for non-Signal SMS, well, where do I begin. Without going overboard and typing 10 pages; I had to develop an SMS app to communicate with standard SMS methods. You can read more about it here, but basically, I've got all my phone numbers that can call/text and get push notifications on the phone. (not a small feat. getting push notifications sans a third party service is the #1 reason I made shSMS). PS. I'm no longer updating shSMS. I've basically switched to Signal 100%. Eventually when I find some time I'd like to make a new version that supports group messaging, but realistically, I'm not sure when I'll find that amount of time/motivation.

Terminal

Konsole

IDE

Neovim

I switched from VSCode to Neovim around June 2023 and I seriously couldn't be happier with it. It gives me everything I've been looking for in a text editor/IDE. I highly recommend trying it out.
