      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 ๐Ÿ™‚

      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 ๐Ÿ˜• 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 Talking of fanless - I wonder how long before the AppleTV gets the M1 chip and could be a Raspberry Pii alternative ๐Ÿ˜‹

        @girish Nice! Thats still a really clean setup. Simple and to the point ๐Ÿ™‚

        And the balcony view is definitely a nice bonus. I'm in the basement. Also doesn't help that its below -40C right now lol

              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.

                  @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

                      Great topic! It's always fun to peek into people's offices. haha. Here's my home office setup for the moment. Been changing it slowly over the past year. Recently got a new chair I find much more comfortable than my previous one. haha.

                            Very different setups everyone. Mine is rather simplistic in this regard I guess, don't even have a desktop PC, only the Cloudron server attached to the router and laptop and no fancy office chair. Well that is homeoffice, I have a good one in the office.

                                @girish it would be open, but generally everyone possible should work from home, so I don't want to make an exception for myself since I can work from home.

                                  @nebulon simple but clean and distraction free. I do like the idea of using a laptop. Youโ€™ve got the same environment at home and when youโ€™re out.

                                    At first with the standing desk it was hard work for more than an hour.

                                    Now I stand all day and most of the evening and it feels weird sitting to work. Much better for the brain work too as a your lung capacity is higher when standing for oxygen needs.

                                    It's 2m wide by 1m deep - I already think I need another one for all the stuff to play with and make it a proper home-studio for music, video etc.

                                      At first with the standing desk it was hard work for more than an hour.

                                      Now I stand all day and most of the evening and it feels weird sitting to work. Much better for the brain work too as a your lung capacity is higher when standing for oxygen needs.

                                        @murgero Yeah mine is a standing desk too and I love it. Sure I sit most of it, haha, but still stand for a few hours each day while I'm working.
