Computer stuff I use

There are lots of pages like this one showing developer setups.

Software

I manage all my infrastructure (machines, servers) with Clan.

OS

I’ve used different Linux systems on my machines, but since I joined the NixOS cult ❄️ I haven’t looked back. Maybe you should too 👀.

My handphone runs on GrapheneOS.

Apps

  • Editor: Helix
  • Terminal: alacritty, ghostty
  • Font: JetBrains Mono
  • Shell: fish
  • Prompt: starship
  • Shell history: atuin
  • Shell utils: zoxide, direnv, rg
  • Web browser: Firefox, Vanadium
  • VPN: Wireguard, Zerotier, Yggdrasil

Hardware

Computers

I have a bulky workstation:

  • CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus – Amazing price/performance ratio with 24 real cores (no SMT)
  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT (Sapphire Pulse) – Not for work
  • RAM: 2x 16GB DDR5 – This cost me an arm and a leg

I built a server for CI, synchronization and other services:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G – APU with 8C/16T
  • GPU: Integrated Radeon graphics
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M DS3H R2

My laptop is an ASUS VivoBook (Intel i7). I run Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi 4B, of course under NixOS 🙂. My handphone is a Pixel 7a.

Keyboard

I built a split mechanical keyboard, the (Ferris) Sweep LP, which I only use at home.

Monitors

As I spend most of my time in either the terminal or the Web, I wanted to have very sharp text, so I opted for the Dell 27 Plus 4K Monitor (S2725QS). I’m very satisfied with the quality and thin bezel. A monitor is great improvement for back position compared to being crouched over the laptop’s screen.
