How I computers - bip bup Some of the hardware and software I use base.njk

What's my computers and what I run on them I guess?

I thought I'd make a lil page that's kind of like a neofetch showcasing the stuff I be using I dunno


I bet this is going to be fun to keep up to date with time (not). Anyway let's proceed

Hardware

setsuna (desktop PC)

My lil baby~

  • CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X
  • GPU: Sapphire Pulse Radeon 6800 XT
  • Like, 32 GB of RAM
  • A fun multitude of storage devices but none is in RAID

yuyuko (laptop)

It's a Thinkpad L390. It serves me well but it's a bit flimsy tbh...

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-8365U
  • Something like 16 GB of RAM
  • Storage: whatever 1 Tb NVMe

yukari (home server)

Pretty happy with how power efficient it is.

It's a Fujitsu Esprimo-something desktop tower that I got refurbished.

  • CPU: Intel Core i7-6700
  • Perhaps 32 gigabytes of RAM
  • Booting off some 256 GB NVMe SSD
  • Two 1 TB SATA SSDs in mirror for most services
  • Some cheeky 6 TB HDD for taking backups and fun stuff. Not mirrored, I am living on the edge.

Also having a

  • Thinkpad W520 which was my beloved old laptop (and behated for having had an nVidia Quadro),
  • And before that was rocking a Lenovo Ideapad Z50-75 (variant with AMD FX-7500 and some annoying AMD dual-graphics setup)

In terms of other hardware

I guess I have a Wii which is for now the only console I have. Fun thing to mod.

In terms of phones I'm rocking Google Pixels with Graphene OS on them because I am a nerd.

I also have like 3 VPSes that I won't mention here lol. Probably not interesting.

Software

  • OS I tend to run on personal computers: Arch Linux
  • OS I fangirl and run on some computers: Chimera Linux

On PCs I generally use KDE Plasma these days, it's fine and I became too lazy of window managers or whatever.

I tend to set up my server software inside of Incus containers which are pretty cool, but I'll admit it's a bit hard for a beginner to get the hang of it and its intricacies from the documentation and resources available. But also I want to try doing things differently some time, probably have my things around OCI containers afterall.

  • Filesystem of choice: ZFS

ZFSBootMenu is pretty cool. Also for bootloaders systemd-boot is ok and let GRUB die already, it's legacy software. This is probably one of the most set in stone software opinion I have.

umm, yeah not sure what else to write in Software section.
