Uses
Inspired by uses this.
Software
I use macOS and Arch Linux daily. I prefer using the terminal where possible. My current setup consists of Ghostty for terminal emulation, tmux for terminal multiplexing, Helix for text editing, fish for command line shell, and Jujutsu for version control — all using the Catppuccin color scheme ☕️. I enjoy this setupʼs ease-of-use, simple defaults, and portability.
I try to stick to FOSS where possible. I use ledger-cli for budgeting and accounting, mutt (and Thunderbird) for plain text emailing, Firefox (with uBlock Origin extension) for web browsing, and LibreOffice for documents and spreadsheets.
I run Pi-hole to block ads at the network-level and Tailscale to access the home network remotely (which allows me to block ads while mobile).
Hardware
Alas, I love Appleʼs hardware, which makes switching to Linux full-time hard. I use a 2023 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro chip and 18 GB of RAM as my daily driver.
I recently built a PC, which I am using more often. I was eyeing a Framework desktop but figured I could get more value if I built the PC myself. I use a 32-inch LG UltraFine display, Moonlander keyboard, and Logitech MX Master 3S wireless mouse. The CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbold 3 Dock ties together my work and personal laptops (although only one laptop can be connected at a time).
I use UniFi for all my networking gear and a Synology DS423+ for backups and media storage. My Raspberry Pi 4 acts as an ad blocker for the network.
For my phone, I use the iPhone 17 Max Pro with the Cape mobile carrier, though I am keeping an eye on the GrapheneOS project.
