My computing experience

-

- These are the things I use in my day-to-day computing - experience at home. As I enjoy working from my computers - and tweaking them, I recommend them all. -

-

- My configuration files for some of these softwares can - be found on my - dotfiles - repo on GitJoe. My wallapers can be found on - this page. -

-

mother

-

- mother 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. -

-

- Its name, mother, is a reference to the on-board - computer in the first Alien movie. It's a great film, go - take a look. -

Software

mars

-

- mars, formerly fbsd-tp, has now become my - fallback/just-in-case machine. It used to be my main - computer over mother, 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. -

-

Hardware

-

- 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. -

Software

    Text editing

    - Custom configured GNU Emacs 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. -
    • -
  • -

    OS

    - FreeBSD 13 is my OS of choice. I left - GNU/Linux for BSD about 1 year ago and I never - felt the need to go back! -

    Window manager

    - dwm is my favorite tiling window manager - and the only one I use for it is very light and - highly extensible. -
    • -
  • -

    Terminal emulator

    - st is my favorite terminal emulator. - Just like dwm, it's very light and highly - extensible. -
    • -

Other notable hardware

-

- I have a RaspberryPi 4 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. -

-

- I later got into microcontrollers. I own a development - Arduino Uno and an ESP32, 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. -

-

- I have a Casio F-91W 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 Casio A100WEGG-1AVT and a A100WE-1AVT - because they're super cool-looking. -

-

- Last piece of hardware worth noting is my keyboard: a - - Leopold - - FC900R PD with Cherry MX Brown 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 - Unicomp - Model M remakes when they are available again. -
