What I use

The tools I use every day, in the spirit of /uses pages. My computers are installed and configured by my dotfiles, a set of Ansible playbooks, so I can rebuild them identically (I gave a talk about it).

Hardware

• Desktop: Intel Core i7-6700K, 16 GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070. Getting old, but still going.
• Screens: two 22-inch monitors, an ASUS VP228 and a Philips 224E.
• Laptop: an old Dell running Fedora.
• Phone: a Google Pixel 7.

System

• Fedora Workstation with GNOME, on all my machines.
• Terminal: ddterm, which drops down on a keyboard shortcut, with Zellij for tabs and panes, and Starship.
• Browser: Firefox.
• Passwords: KeePassXC.
• Notes: Obsidian.
• Files: kDrive by Infomaniak, hosted in Switzerland.

Development

• Editors: VS Code for personal projects, IntelliJ IDEA at work.
• Tool versions: mise, after years of asdf (talk): I made the switch and won’t go back, even though asdf remains an excellent tool.
• Secrets: SOPS, so nothing is committed in plain text (talk).

AI

To get familiar with AI agents, and to try out small developments. I usually use GitHub Copilot and/or Claude.

Homelab

A Proxmox homelab, described with OpenTofu and exposed through Pangolin.

The services running on it, nearly all behind single sign-on:

• Photos: Immich.
• Files: Nextcloud, and a copy of my kDrive on the NAS with rclone.
• Media: Jellyfin.
• Reading: FreshRSS for feeds, Karakeep for bookmarks.
• Documents: BookStack as a wiki, Stirling-PDF for PDFs.
• Home: KitchenOwl for groceries and recipes, Homebox for the home inventory, Wishlist for gift lists.
• Travel: TREK.
• Network: Blocky, the house DNS, which blocks ads and trackers.
• Monitoring: Beszel for the machines, VictoriaLogs for logs, Uptime Kuma for uptime, Speedtest Tracker for the internet line, and ntfy for notifications.
