Things I use (and like)

This is a /uses page

#Hardware

• 💻 ThinkPad Z13 (AMD 6850U, 16GB RAM, Windows 11 x Fedora 42 KDE) Note: The soldered-in Qualcomm wireless chip has been a bit problematic in Linux. Buyer beware.
• 💽 A 51nb X210 running Proxmox as a small homelab server with a built-in UPS :^)
• 📱 a Motorola edge 2024
• 🎧 SIVGA SV007 headphones at my desk, Sony WF-C510 on the go (they stay in during workouts!)
• 🔦 Zebralight SC64c LE with a sliced LH351D emitter for rosy, high CRI light out of a tiny, efficiently driven light
• 🖱️ Pulsar Xlite V2 at home, Razer Deathadder V2 Pro at work
• ⌨️ Entirely too many keyboards, including
  • WOBKEY Rainy75 (Kailh Cocoa linears)
  • Feker Galaxy80 (Keygeek X Neo Oat linears)
  • Weikav Stars80 V2 (Gateron Smoothie Silver linears)

#Software

• 🧭 AltSnap to Win+Drag move, resize windows
• 🗒️ Kate, Notepad++, or neovim depending on my mood.
  • I haven’t quite decided if Helix is worth learning the muscle memory for, but I like it as well.
  • Playing with zed a little as an AI-assisted code editor
• 📺 yt-dlp interfaces: YTDLnis for Android and stacher
• 🌍 Brave Browser with floccus bookmark sync, ScrollAnywhere for rapid MOUSE3 click-and-drag scrolling
  • migrating to Firefox now since it plays nicer with Wayland and touchpad gestures
• 🦈 Wireshark remains the most valuable tool for network and application troubleshooting I have
• ✉️ Gmail, because I haven’t yet been convinced of the benefits of mutt or sprung for a subscription to hey
• 🎶 YouTube Music, because maintaining a library is too much work when YouTube has everything in 160k Opus or 256k AAC

#Services

• 🟢 Two small virtual private servers from RackNerd via LowEndBox deals
• 🐿️ GitHub Pages because if my code is going to be on their servers anyway, and I want my site on a CDN, I may as well do it all in one place for free. Hopefully nobody will embrace-extend-extinguish it :^)

#Vehicles

• 🚗 My trusty 2007 Lexus GS450h is old enough to vote, yet has 340HP and gets 25mpg thanks to its forward-thinking hybrid synergy drive
• 🏍️ 2010 Kawasaki KLX250S
• 👟 Altra Lone Peak 7 trail running shoes (feet are a vehicle, right?)
