me and ‘puter
the font is Comic Code
My machines:
- M1 MacBook Air: runs the latest macOS
- Framework Laptop 13: runs the latest Fedora KDE Spin
- ThinkPad X270: retired for now
- UGreen DXP2800: my NAS
I spend a lot of time in my terminal emulator and (Neo) vim.
I cannot function without a tiling window manager; on macOS, I use Aerospace, and on Linux, Sway or KDE with Krohnkite script.
You can find all other tools and config files in my dotfiles repository.
k. what else do you like?
- I love taking photos, portraits in particular. I own Canon EOS M50 with EF-M 22m f/2 pancake lens
- I collect, modify, and make mechanical watches (mainly Seiko or microbrands with Seiko NH movements)
- I have been writing a journal/diary (I call it “Daily Writing”, written using Vimwiki) almost every day since September 2021. As of 2025-12-27, I have only skipped 7 days (all during my military service)
- I love weightlifting. I have gone through multiple routines (5-day PPLUL, 4-day full-body push-pull, 3-day full-body), and I have settled on a 4-day upper-lower split
- I love salmon
- I love cleaning and organization
- I am colorblind
