| /uses | 2024-05-29 | The hardware, software, services, and gear which I use (almost) daily. | true | true | /slashes |
Here's some of the stuff I use and how I use it.
Hardware
Not counting my homelab.
- Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition (i5-1240P | 32GB RAM | 1TB NVMe). Yep, it's an overpowered Chromebook, and my primary computing device. I make full use of the ChromeOS Linux Development Environment, with Nix for package management.
- Pixelbook running NixOS for when I need a "real" Linux computer.
- BOOX Note Air3 C e-ink tablet for reading and (hand)writing notes (more on this here).
- Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D Printer, or at least that's how it started. It's got a direct-drive conversion, a "silent" board running Klipper firmware, and more printed part upgrades than I can remember.
- Weatherflow Tempest Weather Station to help me get my Wx nerd on.
