As I enjoy working from my computers + and tweaking them, I recommend them all. + </p> + <p> + My configuration files for some of these softwares can + be found on my + <a href="https://gitjoe.xyz/jozan/dotfiles-bsd/tree/">dotfiles</a> + repo on GitJoe. My wallapers can be found on + <a href="files.html">this page</a>. + </p> + <h2>mother</h2> + <p> + <b>mother</b> is my main computer. It's a desktop I bought + a long time ago and that I have improved over time. To the + day of writing, only the motherboard, CPU, and I guess the + box are original from the day of the purchase. Nearly + everthing else has been replaced/added over time. I like + this box, but even the motherboard and CPU are expected to + be changed at some point because it is ancient, if not + antique. + </p> + <p> + Its name, <b>mother</b>, is a reference to the on-board + computer in the first Alien movie. It's a great film, go + take a look. + </p> + <h3>Hardware</h3> + <p> + Here is the hardware specs: + <ul> + <li>Intel i7-4790 - 3.60GHz, 8 threads</li> + <li>28GB RAM - DDR3, 1600MHz</li> + <li>500GB NVMe SSD - PCIe card</li> + <li>500GB SATA SSD</li> + <li>2TB SATA HDD</li> + <li>6TB SATA HDD</li> + <li>MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 8G</li> + <li>750W - Mars Gaming MPVU750 power supply</li> + <li>2.5G Ethernet PCIe card - RTL8125B</li> + </ul> + </p> + <h3>Software</h3> + <h2>mars</h2> + <p> + <b>mars</b>, formerly <b>fbsd-tp</b>, has now become my + fallback/just-in-case machine. It used to be my main + computer over <b>mother</b>, my more beefier machine. + As I found myself making music and playing games more + frequently, I ditched this low-spec BSD machine over + a more high-spec Linux machine. + </p> + <h3>Hardware</h3> + <p> + This computer is a ThinkPad T530 and I love it. + Unfortunately I bought it used and the previous owner + forgot to tell me there was an ugly turtle tattooed on + the rear side. This is my only complain. It's not too + visible but it's there. The deal was quick, there was + not much lighting and the seller opened the screen right + away, so I didn't see that ugly turtle until I was home + with my new computer. + </p> + <div class="figure"> + <p><img src="../img/tp_turtle.webp" alt="tp_turtle.webp" width="450"></p> + <p>The ugly turtle</p> + </div> + <p> + Here is the hardware specs: + <ul> + <li>Intel i5-3320M - 2.60GHz, 4 threads</li> + <li>8GB RAM</li> + <li>500GB SATA SSD</li> + <li>1TB SATA HDD</li> + </ul> + </p> + <p> + I know it's not crazy good but I can do all my work and + my media consumption with it so I consider myself a + tech-happy guy. + </p> + <h3>Software</h3> + <p> + Software on this computer is all about minimalism.

It is not the most + lightweight editor out there but I love my + config for all kind of coding or text editing. + I use the GUI version. + </li> + <li> + <h4>OS</h4> + <b>FreeBSD 13</b> is my OS of choice. I left + GNU/Linux for BSD about 1 year ago and I never + felt the need to go back! + </li> + <li> + <h4>Window manager</h4> + <b>dwm</b> is my favorite tiling window manager + and the only one I use for it is very light and + highly extensible. + </li> + <li> + <h4>Terminal emulator</h4> + <b>st</b> is my favorite terminal emulator. + Just like <b>dwm</b>, it's very light and highly + extensible. + </li> + <li> + <h4>Shell</h4> + I use <b>zsh</b> as my only interactive shell. + </li> + <li> + <h4>Other software</h4> + Here is a small list of programs I use frequently. + Most are terminal-based. + <ul> + <li> + web browser: <b>Mozilla Firefox</b> for + most web browsing.

It runs FreeBSD of course. I use it to + learn I2C/GPIO programming with a bit of electronics. I am + looking for some projects for it. + </p> + <p> + I later got into microcontrollers. I own a development + <b>Arduino Uno</b> and an <b>ESP32</b>, which is a very + interesting chip. I will share projects I have with these + things in the future if I find myself finishing a project. + </p> + <p> + I have a <b>Casio F-91W</b> watch gifted by a friend too so + I never loose time. Adult people tend to show more respect + towards people wearing watches too, just like they do with + people with wives or kids, so there's that. I later bought + a <b>Casio A100WEGG-1AVT</b> and a <b>A100WE-1AVT</b> + because they're super cool-looking. + </p> + <p> + Last piece of hardware worth noting is my keyboard: a + <a href="https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=169"> + Leopold + </a> + <b>FC900R PD</b> with <b>Cherry MX Brown</b> switches. It is + so good I plan on buying maybe 5 of them in the future so I + don't need to worry and I can just use it the same model + for all my life. I might check some of the + <a href="https://www.pckeyboard.com/">Unicomp</a> + <b>Model M</b> remakes when they are available again. + </p> + </div> + <footer> + <p> + Copyright © 2020-2022, Joe - + see <a href="../license.html">LICENSE</a> - + this website does not use cookies or php or js + </p> + </footer> + </div> + </body> +</html> |
