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 NixOS configuration and home-manager configuration.

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