What I use

The kit behind the work. Reproducible where possible — the whole environment is declarative.

Hardware

  • Ryzen 9 9950X3D · RTX 5090 · 96GB Primary build box — work by day, games by night. The twins on this site were trained here.
  • MacBook M4 Pro Local LLM inference with mlx_lm.
  • ThinkPad Travel + couch driver, same config as everything else.

OS & Environment

  • NixOS unstable One flake-based config shared across machines; secrets via sops-nix. Reproducible by design.
  • Hyprland Launched from a TTY — no display manager, no ceremony.
  • dotfiles (~/.files) Versioned, portable, boring on purpose.

Editor & Terminal

  • helix Modal like vim, batteries included, written in Rust.
  • fish + zellij Panes, sessions, and a prompt that stays out of the way — with atuin and starship.
  • alacritty The terminal itself — GPU-fast, config in a file.

Languages & Tools

  • Rust Default for anything that has to be correct and fast.
  • Python Glue, services, and quick reasoning experiments.
  • Wasmtime Running Wasm components outside the browser.

Services

  • GitHub Where the source lives.
  • Zola Builds this site — fast, single binary, no Node.
