Uses

07/12 — 2025

Non-exhaustive, but relatively sufficient.

DELL Latitude 5490

Colloquially known as timeline, she's its primary—and currently, only—computer. The specifics are as follows:

• Intel® Core™ i5-8250U (8) @ 3.40 GHz
• Intel UHD Graphics 620 @ 1.10 GHz
• 12GB SODIMM 2400 MT/s DDR4
• 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD

Her display is horrible, the battery isn't great, and she's rather bulky, but she performs wonderfully well. It can't complain, as it doesn't require particularly high performance.

Some of the other software it runs specifically on her:

• NixOS, as it has spoken about before.
• Home Manager to maintain its user environments.
• GNOME because it has found peace in floating-based workflows and simplicity.

iPhone 13

Colloquially known as nullptr, she's its main phone and its most beloved; coming from a history of Android devices, she was probably the best change it ever made in its workflow.

• Apple Calendar & Reminders are extremely well-made and help it immensely in completing tasks in a timely manner—or at all.
• Apple Health is the most comprehensive and easy-to-use app it's found for tracking its health (mostly, but not exclusively, medication).
• Paperback is essentially the same as above but for man{ga, hua, hwa}.
• Aldiko whenever it can't read a book physically, as it connects to its OPDS server.
• Chrome over Safari—this might change if it ever gets a MacBook.
• Raivo for all its OTP needs.
• An Otter RSS for all its RSS needs.

Hardware

Hopefully, it will be able to add a few PSPs and new 3DS XLs to this list.

• Moondrop Chu II (IEMs)
• Nintendo DSi XL (Burgundy)
• Nintendo DSi (Red)
• Nintendo 2DS (Pokémon Red Groudon)
• PlayStation 4 (Slim)

Software

• Bash for the same reasons as GNOME, although it has wanted to work on its own shell for a while.
• Neovim for everything that isn't overly complex web development slop.
• Alacritty, which isn't its terminal of choice, but it has been too lazy to write a derivation for its st build.
• Google Chrome—there isn't a real alternative, however much it would like to appease the average Linux user. Firefox is shady hot garbage, Ungoogled Chromium lacks account features, and everything in between is barely worth a glance.
• Tailscale, because setting up WireGuard—or worse, OpenVPN—from scratch is incredibly annoying.
• Non-exhaustive CLI amenities: ripgrep, eza, fzf, zoxide, direnv, bat, koji, tokei, strace, dust.
