5My daily drivers---hardware, software and workflow

7Hardware
8
9 The only computer I have with me is my [1]HP Envy 13 (2018) (my model
10 looks a little different). It's a 13" ultrabook, with an i5 8250u, 8
11 gigs of RAM and a 256 GB NVMe SSD. It's a very comfy machine that does
12 everything I need it to.
13
14 For my phone, I use a [2]OnePlus 6T, running stock [3]OxygenOS. As of
15 this writing, its bootloader hasn't been unlocked and nor has the
16 device been rooted. I'm also a proud owner of a [4]Nexus 5, which I
17 really wish Google rebooted. It's surprisingly still usable and runs
18 Android Pie, although the SIM slot is ruined and the battery backup is
19 abysmal.
20
21 My watch is a [5]Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. Tizen is definitely better
22 than Android Wear.
23
24 My keyboard, although not with me in college, is a very old [6]Dell
25 SK-8110. For the little bit of gaming that I do, I use a [7]HP m150
26 gaming mouse. It's the perfect size (and color).
27
28 For my music, I use the [8]Bose SoundLink II. Great pair of headphones,
29 although the ear cups need replacing.
30
31And the software
32
33 [DEL: My distro of choice for the past ~1 year has been [9]elementary
34 OS. I used to be an Arch Linux elitist, complete with an esoteric
35 window manager, all riced. I now use whatever JustWorks(TM). :DEL]
36
37 Update: As of June 2019, I've switched over to a vanilla Debian 9
38 Stretch install, running [10]i3 as my window manager. If you want, you
39 can dig through my configs at my [11]dotfiles repo.

41 Here's a (riced) screenshot of my desktop.

45 Most of my work is done in either the browser, or the terminal. My
46 shell is pure [12]zsh, as in no plugin frameworks. It's customized
47 using built-in zsh functions. Yes, you don't actually need a framework.
48 It's useless bloat. The prompt itself is generated using a framework I
49 built in [13]Nim -- [14]nicy. My primary text editor is [15]nvim.
50 Again, all configs in my dotfiles repo linked above. I manage all my
51 passwords using [16]pass(1), and I use [17]rofi-pass to access them via
52 rofi.
53
54 Most of my security tooling is typically run via a Kali Linux docker
55 container. This is convenient for many reasons, keeps your global
56 namespace clean and a single command to drop into a Kali shell.
57
58 I use a DigitalOcean droplet (BLR1) as a public filehost, found at
59 [18]x.icyphox.sh. The UI is the wonderful [19]serve, by [20]ZEIT. The
60 same box also serves as my IRC bouncer and OpenVPN (TCP), which I
61 tunnel via SSH running on 443. Campus firewall woes.
62
63 I plan on converting my desktop back at home into a homeserver setup.
64 Soon(TM).
