Uses
A short list of the hardware, software and services I use often.
This changes over time, so I keep it intentionally practical instead of exhaustive.
Hardware
- Main machine: laptop/workstation for development, writing and day-to-day work.
- Hosting: Raspberry Pi 4 for this site and a few personal services.
- Mobile: Android phone for daily use and testing.
- Other gear: a small mix of Raspberry Pi boards for experiments and home projects.
Software
- Editor: Visual Studio Code.
- Browser: Chrome/Chromium and Firefox.
- Terminal: Linux shell, SSH and the terminal built into VS Code.
- Development: PHP/Laravel, JavaScript, Git, GitHub and SQLite/MySQL depending on the project.
- Tools: Postman/HTTP clients, database clients, Docker when useful, and whatever keeps the project simple.
Services
- Communication: Discord and WhatsApp.
- Projects: GitHub for code and issue tracking.
- Personal infrastructure: self-hosted apps where it makes sense, hosted services where they save time.
