-This is list of hardware and software I use.
-Note, that I have two PCs (work MacBook and personal ThinkPad).
-I try to address this when applicable.
-
-
-## Hardware {#hardware}
-
-
-### Computer {#computer}
-
-My company provides (and forces me to use) a 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro and 32 GB of memory.
-It's as everyone says: crazy fast, dead silent and heavy as a horse.
-It's also much too expensive and impossible to repair.
-I simply can not recommend it due to the price - both the purchase and in case of any problems.
-M1 may be fast, but the downside is the level of integration.
-You can not replace anything, the CPU, GPU, cache, memory and spying stuff is a single substance.
-I am afraid that this is the future of personal computing, and I am not pleased.
-
-My personal machine is a 15,6'' ThinkPad Extreme, gen 2.
-It's equipped with Intel i5-9300 8 core @ 4 1GHz and has 32 GB of memory.
-Furthermore, It has two GPUs: UHD Graphics 630 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile / Max-Q.
-It would be a perfect machine if it wasn't for the NVIDIA.
-It's the only way to achieve monitor output, so I am forced to use it.
-Unfortunately, the support for Linux is bad and for BSD it's abysmal.
-The battery is drained in an instant, the computer overheats, and yet I don't game.
-Luckily, the drivers exist for FreeBSD, but OpenBSD is out the question due to licensing issues.
-Perfect if you use Windows or PoP_OS. 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. It does the job.
-
-
-### Spellcheck {#spellcheck}
-
-I use LanguageTool via ltex-ls.
-The checker uses ngram data provides by LanguageTool.
