I love technology. I was the first person in my high-school who had a smartphone, and I love all kinds of devices.
My favourite devices
Non-gaming
- Kindle Oasis (jailbroken): The physical buttons alone make this worth it for me. And after I jailbroke it and installed KOreader, it’s the perfect e-book reader for me. I hope it lasts for a long time!
- TCL Nxtpaper 14: My current tablet, it’s huuge and the paper-like coating makes it perfect for reading comic books!
- Motorola Edge 50 Neo (‘Eddie’): My current phone, pretty much the smallest I could find. The software isn’t great unfortunately.
- Canon 90D: My camera - it’s pretty big, but I love it. My favourite lens is the Sigma Art 18-35mm f1.8.
- Synology DS918+: My home NAS that I have equipped with 4*16TB drives. I like the simplicity, but might migrate to a self-built solution once I run out of space (which will be soon).
- Lenovo Yoga Pro i9 (‘Holly’): My personal laptop, I really love the screen! And it can run through everything I throw at it.
Gaming
- Steam Deck OLED: I pre-ordered a Steam Deck on day one, and afterwards upgraded to the OLED version. It has become my primary gaming device by a long mile, and I can’t wait to see what they do next.
- Gameboy Advance: I got one from my late grandfather when I was 10, but for actual gaming, I bought another one and modded it with an IPS screen, USB-C rechargeable battery and an Everdrive Mini flashcart.
- New Nintendo 3DS XL: This is my (almost) every-day-carry gaming device. And the 3D is a surprisingly good feature. Modded.
- Nintendo Switch: I still have the original Switch because of (cough) reasons (cough), but my hands start hurting fairly quickly when playing, so I don’t use it too much.
My favourite software
Self-hosting
- Plex Media Server: I have the lifetime subscription, and am pretty happy with it. But am planning to try out Jellyfin soon.
- Kavita: A great comic-book server.
- AudioBookShelf: Perfect for my audiobook collection.
- SyncThing: Makes synchronizing files across devices a breeze!
- Sonarr: Great for tracking releases and missing episodes of TV shows. I don’t use the auto-downloading feature though.
- Radarr: Like Sonarr but for films.
