I am a computer geek from Kraków, Poland. I am into niche and old things, like anime, BSD, or Emacs. I am also very profoundly for internet privacy and freedom. I earn my bread as a senior software engineer in a [SASS company](https://zendesk.com). After work I am a husband and a father - the only reason I ever leave my home.

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 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 [[[/blog/2023/charybdis/][review here]]]. 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. It does the job. *** Spellcheck I use LanguageTool via ltex-ls. The checker uses ngram data provides by LanguageTool. * DONE IRC channel :@more: CLOSED: [2024-11-20 Wed 20:41] :PROPERTIES: :EXPORT_HUGO_SECTION: more/irc :EXPORT_FILE_NAME: _index :EXPORT_HUGO_CUSTOM_FRONT_MATTER+: :abstract IRC channel :END: ** IRC channel --- The official IRC channel for this site is *##cryschan* on *libera.chat*.
