Uses
This is my uses page. It is inspired in the uses.tech movement and its main goal is to share with you the things I use on my daily life, from hardware to software. It might not be a 100% up to date, but I will try to keep an eye on it to keep it alive!
Hardware
Despite trying to have as less devices as I can, I think I end up having some that are not required to have a functional life.
My desk contains my “essential” devices and everything else I use on a regular basis for work, university or just for entertainment. This encompasses everything from my smartphone to my monitor.
The essentials are those devices that I must have to complete my work successfully. Without them, I wouldn’t be able to work, or even go to university.
- Laptop: 2018 Macbook Pro 13"
- Smartphone: iPhone 11 Pro
The upgrades, on the other hand, are aimed to increase productivity and well being. These include monitors, stands, speakers, etc:
- Laptop stand: Rain mStand
- Monitor: Asus VG27A
- Tablet: 2018 iPad Pro 11"
- Keyboard: Ducky One 2 Mini
- Mouse: Asus Strix Impact
- Dock: CalDigit TS3 Plus
On the sound department, I have 3 devices:
- Speakers: Logitech Z213
- Headphones: JBL Live 5000BT
- Earphones: Airpods (2nd Gen)
My desk also features my one and only console: a Nintendo Switch. I live in a studio and I don’t have much space. Thus, my desk is both my workplace, and my “TV” for movies and entertainment.
Besides all these devices, I also want to shout out to:
- Tracking Device: Apple AirTags.
- Auth Device: YubiKeys for 2FA, GPG and SSH.
- Wallet: Secrid for my cards and spare bills.
Photography
On the photography department, I currently own a Fuji X-T4. The pictures that come out of it are fantastic. However, it is a bit of a mess to edit Fuji RAWs due to the way they’re encoded. I’m using CaptureOne for that. Maybe I’ll write about it one day.
- Camera: Fujifilm X-T4.
- Lenses: XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4.0 OIS, XF 35mm F/2.0 and XF 27mm F/2.8.
- Tripod: Manfrotto Befree.
Software
This section will be considerably more compact as I don’t think we need screenshots of the software I’m using. So… here it goes.
- Operating System: macOS, iOS.
- Browser: Chrome on macOS, Safari on iOS.
- Code Editor: Visual Studio Code - on the terminal I may use vim.
- Terminal: iTerm with zsh and oh my zsh - see my dotfiles.
- Email: Spark.
- Calendar: native macOS and iOS apps.
- Email Provider: migadu - trying to move away from Google.
- Feed Reader: Miniflux.
Besides this software packages, I use some online services, which I’m not going to list here. As for self-hosted things, I have everything on Hetzner.
