Here's some of the stuff I use and how I use it.*

Hardware

Not counting my homelab [1].*

**Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition [2]** (i5-1240P | 32GB RAM | 1TB NVMe). Yep, it's an overpowered Chromebook, and my primary computing device. I make full use of the ChromeOS Linux Development Environment [3], with Nix [4] for package management.

**Pixelbook [5]** running NixOS [6] for when I need a "real" Linux computer.

**BOOX Note Air3 C [7] e-ink tablet** for reading and (hand)writing notes (more on this here [8]).

**Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D Printer [9]**, or at least that's how it started. It's got a direct-drive conversion, a "silent" board running Klipper firmware, and more printed part upgrades than I can remember.

**Weatherflow Tempest Weather Station [10]** to help me get my Wx nerd on.
