What I use

This is a list of things that I usually use in daily life. Over time, this list will evolve, and I'll strive to keep this page updated with the software and tools.

Currently, my main workhorse is a MacBook Pro M3 for work, games, and pet projects. This is complemented by a Mini-PC with Linux, which is responsible for running small 24/7 scripts and storing photos and files. I prefer a minimalist approach and don't rely on an external display. In addition, I only use a keyboard, mouse, and laptop stand.

Hardware

• MacBook Pro 16", M3 Max, 48GB, 2024 - my main laptop for everything.
• MacBook Pro 16", i9, 64GB, 2019 - a backup laptop in case something happens to the main one.
  • Anker 737 Charger (GaNPrime 120W) - instead of the standard charger because it is lighter and more convenient for travel.
• Mini-PC Beelink EQ12 N100 - a small home server and backup Linux work computer.
  • 2x Samsung SSD 870 EVO 4TB - one inside the Beelink, the other for backups.
• Router with OpenWrt Beryl AX (GL-MT3000) - for a stable home and travel network.
• Roost V3 - a laptop stand that helps relieve neck and back strain.
• Keychron K3 Pro (Red) - mechanical keyboard.
• Logitech MX Anywhere 3S - wireless mouse.
• Sony WH-1000XM5 - excellent wireless headphones.
• AirPods Pro, 1st gen. - headphones for the gym and city, light and convenient.
• iPhone 11 - main iOS phone.
• Galaxy A03 - Android phone.

When I am at home, I prefer to use:

• Shure MV7X - microphone for recording audio, used alone or with a boom arm.
• LG 34WK95U-W - wide 21:9 monitor instead of the laptop display.
• Logitech MX Master 3s - ergonomic mouse, I like its.
• Logitech Ergo K860 - ergonomic keyboard, I like its angle.

Editor and Terminal

• JetBrains Mono - main font for code.
• Kitty - terminal instead of the standard one.
  • Oh My Zsh + Powerlevel10k - appearance and hotkeys.
  • fzf, eza, sshs - terminal tools.
  • zsh-autosuggestions + zsh-syntax-highlighting - help with command suggestions.
  • yazy - terminal file manager.
• Visual Studio Code - main editor for most tasks.
• Neovim - for quick file editing in the terminal and sometimes for fun 🙂
• GoLand - for refactoring Go code.
• DataGrip - for working with databases.

Software

TODO: I plan to write separately and add just a link 🙂.

Workspace

I always liked simple IKEA tables and chairs. When I move, I just order them again, and everything is ready!

• IKEA MATCHSPEL - chair.
• IKEA NORDMYRA - large table, rated 5/5.
• IKEA LISABO - table that fits perfectly in small spaces.
• My previous chair Expert Sail ART was a great choice, generally better than the IKEA options.

Stationery

• Pilot BPRK 0.7 - favorite ballpoint pen.
• Muji Pen Gel Ink 0.5mm - favorite gel pen.
• Moleskine Classic Notebook - notebook that I like the most.
