My main workstation is a 2021 M1 Macbook Pro, deliberately running macOS Sonoma 14.7. I use an external trackpad and keyboard (Apple\u2019s Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad). I\u2019ve grown accustomed to using gestures on the trackpad, it also helps me ergonomically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My secondary workstation is a 2021 desktop computer which runs Windows 11. Mainly used to test websites and projects in a Windows-settings. I\u2019m quite uncomfortable working in this environment, it is uninspiring to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My company<\/a>s Umbrel<\/a>-server is powered by a Raspberry Pi 4. It basically just runs the latest available version of bitcoin-core, so that we can access the Bitcoin<\/a> network through our own node, and run technical experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Webmin<\/a> is a web-based system administration tool, which helps me host multiple websites, and is powered by a Raspberry Pi 4. It runs Raspian Buster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A NAS, mainly used to store backups of the above services and computers. Also used to run local services and experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first VR-headset I ever used. And holy smokes it was a fantastic experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now it rests on a shelf, since one of the controllers broke\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pancake-lenses, I use this mainly for development and use in PCVR. Light on the head, and everything is pretty readable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201dUse a Single Editor Well\u201d is a quote from The pragmatic programmer<\/em>, and it rings very true in my ears. Visual Studio Code is very accessible to me, and runs almost everywhere. Kinda free and open source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best and most pleasant FOSS version control system I\u2019ve used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hard to beat end-to-end chat software run by a foundation. FOSS. Doesn\u2019t support federation nor can you run your own server, but it is accessible and very easy for people to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I would love to run a local LLM when they become as competent as their API-counterparts, but Claude has been (and is) an incredible tool for me. I do not like OpenAI, their latest Ghibli-thing is in my opinion, unethical. And it\u2019s not the first example of \u201dunethicalness\u201d from that company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BitTorrent-client, free and open source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BlueWallet<\/a> is a free and open source Bitcoin-wallet. They\u2019ve really nailed the UI with this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve been pondering moving away from 1Password, but I don\u2019t really have a reason to. The user experience is splendid, and they\u2019re continuously improving their software along as the platforms evolves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n VLC<\/a> is simply the best and most useful video player. FOSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This allows me to stay on \u201dmy network\u201d when I\u2019m away from my home. Also allow me to utilize Mullvad VPN as an exit point if I\u2019d like to when on the run, or on a untrusted wifi-network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Barrier<\/a> allows me to share my keyboard and trackpad from my Macbook with my Windows-machine. FOSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After going through Apple Notes, DayOne and Writer, I\u2019ve settled on Ulysses<\/a>. It strikes a good balance between portability (actual, readable files), usability (markdown) and support (paid app, supports sync and good use of backup), takes feature-requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a flight log application, which I am using as a backup for logging my flight hours (my primary tool is a paper book). Paid service but only for professional pilots (specific features).<\/p>\n\n\n\n I very rarely use this, and I have mostly used it to create posters for different projects and hobbies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GrandPerspective<\/a> is FOSS, and helps me keep track of what takes up disk space on my computer. It is awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cyberduck<\/a> is a SFTP\/FTP\/Others-client for moving files between locations. FOSS. Great stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sequel Ace<\/a> is a MariaSQL\/MySQL database management client. FOSS. Must-have if you regularly work with SQL-databases.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWebmin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
