Here is a list of hardware, software, and settings I use routinely. All these things allow me to get better work done, make my life easier in general ... or are just fun to tinker with.

💻 Hardware

• MacBook Pro
• iPhone
• Rapberry Pi 4B -- latest gen can be a very capable NAS (I have it acting as a network Time Machine, and Pi-Hole)
• ASRock A300 mini-pc dual-booting Windows 11 and Ubuntu. I love small form factor PC building! This one is very small form factor I'd say, and serves as a general Plex server and remote drive.
• Eero 6 Pro wifi mesh network. I previously had a more fiddly wifi system with more config options, but grew a little tired of all the management it required.

🧩 Dev Setup

• Visual Studio Code
• XCode
• One Monokai Theme
• ESLint & Prettier -- implemented on codebases I touch, for sanity
• Docker
• SourceTree -- git visualization & diffing
• iTerm

⛅️ Self-Hosted

• Traefik -- Used to reverse-proxy the containers on this server, and auto-refreshes Let's Encrypt
• Miniflux -- RSS fetching software, running on miniflux.jeremycollins.net
• Pi-Hole -- DNS control and fun stats on home network traffic
• Plex
• Jellyfin -- FOSS Plex alternative with a good community

🎒 Other software / services I use all the time

• Reeder -- RSS reader
• 1Password -- for 2FA and generated passwords, plus tracking membership numbers and software licenses
• Parallels -- it can run the Mac's bootcamped Windows partition from within macOS when I don't want to reboot
• Pixelmator -- image & photo editing
• VNC
• Pocket Casts -- the best cross-platform podcast manager
• Audible
• Spotify
• Infuse -- a video player client for Plex, iTunes, any other network protocol with an amazing UI and great filetype compatibility
