How do you work from home? (if applicable)
-
@plusone-nick Triple monitors is good and bad. Good because I have so much screen real-estate and bad because anytime I have to work on a laptop away from home I it just sucks.
Definitely liking that standing desk you have there
Very useful for extended time at the computer.
-
@marcusquinn I am unreasonably obsessed with RGB lighting... its a problem...
-
@atrilahiji Agree its hard to use less than 2 its not automatic but its still nice. Yeah it does extend time for better or worse
Was going to originally comment I don't have any RGB! Note to self: step game up and get some lol -
@plusone-nick I mean for me its weirdly better for focusing. But not cheap and definitely not practical lol.
-
@atrilahiji What is the triangular LED on the wall? I've seen various types of those and been wanting to get a few
-
@plusone-nick oh those are by Nanoleaf. Specifically the Nanoleaf Shapes Mini Triangles starter kit
-
@murgero oh that’s just a static wallpaper from MIBHDs collection. I’m sure it’s from someone else but this is where I found it https://mobile.twitter.com/MKBHD/status/200002096706240512

You two have set two high a bar for the rest of us :)! My desk is a dumping ground for my son's stuff, I tried to clean it up a bit for my photo but usually it's not even this clean
But the most important things for me are:
- I moved my desk to be near the balcony. I love looking outside frequently. There's this tree outside with a lot of squirrels. They are all hyper active like hammy in Over the hedge.
- I moved it also near the heater hee hee. We don't have central heating, so nice to keep the feet warm!
- I took a step backward and switched from Wayland to X. My dual monitor setup is now more stable. Also upgraded Ubuntu 20 a month or so ago.
- That machine behind the laptop is my main Cloudron. I really appreciate how noiseless it is (thinkcenter).
- The same cannot be said about the black tower below. It is a source of noise, a power hog and extra house heating
It wasn't a problem before the pandemic but these days it's on all the time.. Atleast, I don't work on C++ stuff anymore! No more long compiles.. While it compiles super fast, it's also very power hungry and the fan is noisy. Which reminds me that I probably need to clean the fan, it's become more prone to dust clog after I moved near the balcony. - Ultimately, I cannot wait to get back to my co-working space! Sadly, they shutdown because of the pandemic, so I have to find a new one when things get back to normal.

@girish my memory is spotty - what coworking space was that again? they had one on E Santa Clara in SJ right? I recall seeing you guys on their site when I first found out about Cloudron
-
@plusone-nick https://foundersfloor.com/ . The site is there but the office is closed now.

I don't wanna take a picture cause my desk is filthy but -
- Single Monitor (1080p)
- Dell Precision T7610
- 128GB RAM
- Dual-CPU (2x Intel Xeon E5-2670's @ 10 cores each with Hyperthreading for a total of 40 logical cores)
- 4TB SSD in two separate RAID configurations
- And because I'm wild and like gaming I have put an RX 580 Series Radeon card in this server cause why not!
Yes, this is server, enterprise hardware, no it is NOT being used as such. I use it for heavy gaming and as my personal computer.
-
@murgero Oh wow 40 logical cores O_O
-
@atrilahiji haha yeah! It used to be a server for my fathers old company. Now it's my personal computer. Gaming, VM's, programming.
I have 3 VMs running on it right now (vpn, macOS, and a Linux VM) and it plays cod all at the same time with plenty of resource to spare LMAO
