/my-setup-at-home-12-2021-update | Here's the tech I use at home and what for. |
In this post, I'm presenting my updated setup at home. The [previous version]({{< ref "my-setup-at-home/" >}}) was from May 2020.
👨🏻💻 Desk
- MacBook Pro 15-inch 2017 (personal laptop)
- development side projects
- writing
- office stuff
- MacBook Pro 15-inch 2019 (work laptop)
- development, research
- meetings
- Two 27-inch QHD displays (Dell P2720DC)
- nice 3 monitors setup, including the laptop's display
- I regret not going 4K since I basically spend my days reading text.
- Thunderbolt dock (CalDigit TS3+)
- Standing desk (from Autonomous)
📱 Mobility
- iPhone 13 Pro
- reading (Miniflux, Wallabag)
- media consumption (YouTube)
- pictures
- iPad Air 3 & Apple Pencil
- reading (Miniflux, Wallabag)
- note-taking, annotating documents, sketching
- accessing my recipes (I use Paprika)
- media consumption (Plex, YouTube)
- writing, sometimes
- Kobo Libra H2O (e-ink reader)
- reading (ePub books, Wallabag)
💾 Servers
- Raspberry Pi 4 model B, 8GB
- Home Assistant
- Raspberry Pi 3 model B+
- display for Home Assistant in the hall
- [Self-built server]({{< ref "replacing-my-synology-nas-with-a-self-built-server/" >}})
- proxmox with one VM (for the moment)
- host all my services in docker containers
🍿 Media
- Apple TV 4K
- media consumption (Plex, Netflix, YouTube)
- Apple Home hub (control HomeAssistant devices with Siri & Apple Home app)
- HomePod
- play music through AirPlay or with Siri
- answer Siri requests
🏡 Home
- a set of connected light bulbs, plugs and wall switches
- automate some things like "don't kill your eyes in the bathroom at night but see where you pee during the day"
As you can see, I own quite the collection of Apple devices. They're not perfect of course and not open or hackable by any contemporary standard - which is kind of a bummer for me - but they play nicely together and are easy to use for me and my SO.
They are also quite low-maintenance, which means I can spend time on more fun projects like automating my Christmas decorations or adding a Raspberry Pi with a touch screen in my hall to provide a display for Home Assistant.
