What I use
Updated when something actually changes, not on a schedule.
Machines
| Role | Hardware | Since | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| File server | 4-bay mini tower, 32 GB | 2022 | two mirrored pairs |
| Desktop | Refurbished workstation | 2023 | replaced the fans |
| Laptop | 13-inch, 16 GB | 2024 | travel only |
| Router | Small x86 box | 2021 | fanless, boring, perfect |
Software
| Purpose | Tool | Notes | Years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Editor | Vim | plain config, few plugins | 14 |
| Backups | restic to two targets | weekly restore test | 5 |
| Notes | plain markdown files | synced, not hosted | 9 |
| This site | hand-written HTML | no build step | 3 |
People ask what generator this site uses. None. Four files, one stylesheet,
copied with rsync. It has survived three server moves without a single change.
