Daily Drivers

I have two primary computers: a laptop and a desktop. I also have multiple VPS’s on Linode and Hetzner which host my personal infrastructure.

I run NixOS on all my computers, and use Nix Home Manager to manage my configuration. I use the i3 window manager or Sway, i3status-rust, ZSH, NeoVim, and mutt among other things. You can find all of my configuration repos on sourcehut.

Here’s a list of my daily driver machines. I name them after planets in the Star Wars universe.

  • Desktop: (hostname: coruscant) A custom-built desktop. See the part list on PCPartPicker. Highlights are:

    • AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
    • Nvidia RTX 2070
    • 32 GB DDR4-3200 RAM
    • 512 GB NVMe and a 1 TB SSD

  • Laptop: (hostname: mustafar) A Samsung Galaxy Chromebook that I have hacked to run Linux.

  • Laptop: (hostname: jedha) A ThinkPad T580

    • Intel Core i7-8650U
