Otherwise, I'd reconsider. + +*** Phone + +Not much to say, as phones are boring. +I use iPhone 13 mini, and I'll try to stick to it as long as possible. +I try (and fail to) not use phone at all, so I don't need the horsepower. +I don't install apps because why would I? +The primary use case is YouTube on the john and contactless payments. + +I am eying e-ink devices, so if this one breaks, then who knows? + +*** Computer and pointing device + +I found love in Charybdis from Bastard Keyboard. +You can read my [review here](/2023/charybdis/). + +Highly recommended! + +*** Monitor + +Dell P2727Q. + +It's a 27-inch 4k monitor with USB-C power delivery, USB hub and an Ethernet. +Works as advertised. + +*** Headphones + +Sennheiser 6xx. +I can not recommend them enough. +Light, comfortable and sound just good enough for me not to look at audiophile headphones. +They are also wired, which is a huge plus. + +Headphone amplifier very recommended - I use Topping A50s. + +*** Speakers + +Ruarkaudio MR1. +I like those! +I have them connected to computer via line-in and to a Wiim mini streamer using a digital connection. +They are small speakers, so nothing to write home about - but for their size they work great. + +However, I bought them for their look. +Full wife approval factor + +** Software + +*** Operating system + +For work, I use macOS. +I try to keep on the old version as long as IT allows, as each new iteration comes with new problems. +Have you used the System Preferences recently? +If this was a hobby project, sure. +But this is not, and at this point I am afraid to ask how it even was approved by QA. + +On my personal laptop I use FreeBSD. +You can follow mu BSD journey [here](/category/bsd/). + +*** Shell + +I use Z Shell. +I tried to move to Korn Shell, but I still need to find time for this migration. + +*** Window manager + +DWM. +I don't have much personalization there yet, so nothing too interesting. + +On MacOS I use Yabai, which adds tiling capabilities. +However, DWM, with it's tagging, beats virtual desktop by a mile. + +*** Web browser + +Firefox. +[[http://localhost:1313/blog/2024/leaving-firefix-behind/][I am looking for alternative.]] + +*** Text editor + +Emacs with Xah Lee Flykeys keybindings. + +*** Version manager + +I'm a Ruby dev by trade, so I use rbenv. +I tried asdf and loved it, but rbenv is already too established in work, that I gave up the fight. + +*** Music player + +MPD, and sometimes YouTube. + +*** Email client + +Emacs and Notmuch + +*** RSS reader + +Emacs and Gnus + +*** IRC Client + +Emacs and ERC + +*** Password Manager. + +Bitwarden.
