+
+### 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](/blog/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.
+[I am looking for alternative.](http://localhost:1313/blog/2024/leaving-firefix-behind/)
+
+
+### Text editor {#text-editor}
+
+Emacs with Xah Lee Flykeys keybindings.
+
+
+### 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 Gnus
+
+
+### IRC Client {#irc-client}
+
+Emacs and ERC
+
+
+### 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.
