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. Well, - except for GNU Emacs. - </p> - <p> - <div class="figure"> - <p><img src="img/neofetch.webp" alt="neofetch.webp" width="600"></p> - <p>My neofetch</p> - </div> - <ul> - <li> - <h4>Text editing</h4> - Custom configured <b>GNU Emacs</b> to be used - with vim key bindings. 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. I also use <b>w3m</b> - and <b>lynx</b> quite a lot. - </li> - <li>file manager: <b>lf</b></li> - <li>image viewer: <b>nsxiv</b></li> - <li>video player: <b>mpv</b></li> - <li>music player: <b>mpd</b> + <b>ncmpc</b></li> - <li>pdf viewer: <b>zathura</b></li> - <li>RSS feed reader: <b>newsboat</b></li> - <li>email client: <b>neomutt</b> running with <b>isync</b> and <b>msmtp</b></li> - <li>address book: <b>abook</b></li> - <li>calendar: <b>calcurse</b> - <li>IRC client: <b>irssi</b> - </ul> - </li> - <li> - <h4>Games</h4> - I haven't played much video games in recent times - but here's what I used to play a lot: - <ul> - <li> - <b>Kerbal Space Program</b> on my Linux - machine, I loved this game! - </li> - <li> - <b>Classic DOOM</b> and <b>Hexen</b> - through <b>gzdoom</b>, it runs very - smooth on BSD. - </li> - </ul> - </li> - </ul> - </p> - <h2>athena</h2> - <h2>Other notable hardware</h2> - <p> - I have a <b>RaspberryPi 4</b> I received from a friend as a - christmas gift. 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> |
