Otherwise, I'd reconsider. - - -### Phone {#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 {#computer-and-pointing-device} - -I found love in Charybdis from Bastard Keyboard. -You can read my [review here](_2023/charybdis_). - -Highly recommended! - - -### Monitor {#monitor} - -Dell P2727Q. - -It's a 27-inch 4k monitor with USB-C power delivery, USB hub and an Ethernet. -Works as advertised. - - -### Headphones {#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 {#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 {#software} - - -### Operating system {#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 {#shell} - -I use Z Shell. -I tried to move to Korn Shell, but I still need to find time for this migration. - - -### Window manager {#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 {#web-browser} - -Firefox. -It is a bit too corporate with strange things the foundation does, but there is no alternative. - - -### Text editor {#text-editor} - -Emacs with Evil mode. - - -### Version manager {#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 {#music-player} - -MPD, and sometimes YouTube. - - -### Email client {#email-client} - -Emacs and Notmuch - - -### RSS reader {#rss-reader} - -Emacs and Elfeed - - -### Password Manager. {#password-manager-dot} - -Bitwarden.
