I selfhost this blog, do a lot of coding, and generally do "computer stuff" on a number of different systems. Here's what I use, current as of 2025-01-01.

## Client Devices

## Servers

My server infrastructure is quite sprawling, but here's the short info. For more detail, please see my perpetually-"upcoming" blog post or [my rack tour videos on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNfKWbHAcA3PcEpFfS1GqFcs7EkKiBOQr).
