SoftwareJellyfin logo

Media Center: Jellyfin

An open source alternative to Plex, perfect replacement for me and haven’t looked back once since
SoftwareNotion logo

Organization: Notion

The best second brain I’ve tried, see my article on it. However the quality has degraded in recent years and I might jump ship to Obsidian when they ship databases properly
HardwareiPhone 12 logo

Phone: iPhone 12

Which I've had a while but that still works well. I'm considering switching to something fairer but haven't found an option I like yet, maybe Fairphone
SoftwarePHPStorm logo

IDE: PHPStorm

I don’t actually like Jetbrains all that much, they have such a eurojank vibe to them, but it’s still the best I’ve used in terms of refactoring power and intelligence. Just wish they would fucking DO ONE IDE FOR ALL LANGUAGES LIKE ITS NOT 2000 ANYMORE
SoftwaremacOS Sequoia logo

OS: macOS Sequoia

Until I properly move to Linux
SoftwareTelegram logo

Messaging: Telegram

Maybe moving to Signal once enough of the people I need are there, as Telegram is still shady but it’s the best worst I can do
HardwareSteam Deck logo

Console: Steam Deck

The best of all worlds in one device. May Gabe never die, or may Valve never change
SoftwareZen logo

Browser: Zen

Firefox always and forever even if they err, and Zen instead of stock because I’m giving the Arc-trend a shot. Not sure about it yet
HardwareMacBook Pro logo

Laptop: MacBook Pro

From my work
SoftwareVSCode logo

Editor: VSCode

I wish Atom had won but I suppose in the end both would have ended in Microsoft’s hand. I should perhaps switch to something else compatible with the extensions
HardwareShibachon logo

Emotional Support: Shibachon

My friend and savior in the best and direst of times. I know I’m married but if I hug my wife like that, it will absolutely crush bones :3
HardwareVolcano Hybrid logo

Vaporizer: Volcano Hybrid

Cannabis has helped me through a lot over the years, and this is the best way I found to consume it without fucking anything in my body and with the best comfort and simplicity. german engineering ftw
HardwareIbanez SAS32EXFM logo

Guitar: Ibanez SAS32EXFM

My first guitar after the hands-me-down I did my first album with, and the one I experimented and played with for years. I’ve let it take dust to focus on the synth but I still aim to integrate it back into my music in future albums, do electro-rock stuff
HardwareM-Audio Keystation 88 MKII logo

Synthetizer: M-Audio Keystation 88 MKII

My first synthetizer and a great choice, I was really glad to have a full range of keys to also learn piano with. Not a lot of bells and whistles but I do all modelization on the computer directly so it’s enough for me
