How do you work from home? (if applicable)
-
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

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.

@d19dotca very clean! Also that chair looks incredibly comfortable

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.

@nebulon simple but clean and distraction free. I do like the idea of using a laptop. You’ve got the same environment at home and when you’re out.

Might have to delete this one later then

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.

@marcusquinn Now that's a name I haven't heard in a loong time - Hed Kandi. I'm off to YT to see what gems might be there. In the meantime, here's my workstation. Just a 2015 MBPr running Windows, external monitor, nice headphones, handy masks in case I need to mask myself quickly, extra tablets and devices laying around for prototyping. I would like a second external monitor, tried to suggest to my wife that that would be a super Valentine's Day gift, but no luck.
Holy moly, looking up Hed Kandi on YT brought back a surge of memories, with Ministry of Sound being featured on that page, which then reminded me of deephousenetwork.com - 19 years ago I had been traveling to HK a few times a year for a project, and I'd found this internet cafe (going to google maps to look it up...) near Jordan and Nathan, and I'd groove out while working all night. Ah, I miss HK. Haven't been there now in about 7 years, and I fear it won't be like I remember whenever I do get back.
A life lived in fear is a life half-lived

@scooke I find good use of Mission Control, App Tamer for auto-hide and 3008*1692 resolution on 4k gets me all the advantages of multiple monitors on a single screen. More room for speakers too
Ahh, HK, know it well!
