How do you work from home? (if applicable)

[d19dotca]

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 Nice! My Dog's bed is right by my desk too

@d19dotca very clean! Also that chair looks incredibly comfortable

[nebulon]

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 is your office open these days?

[nebulon]

@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.

[A Former User]

@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 Standing desks are amazing

[d19dotca]

@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.

@marcusquinn i don't see anything wrong - that's more how mine looks now lol

[marcusquinn]

@plusone-nick thankfully my computer desktop is a lot neater

For interest, the big painting it a Hed Kandi album cover.

Most other things are on my kit.co list: kit.co/marcusquinn

@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.

[marcusquinn]

@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!

Updated it:

I moved my Ryzen 1700X to my server and got a Ryzen 3600 for my desktop. Turns out my server case only fits mATX... So I moved my server to my old case and got a new one because I needed an excuse for more RGB.

Only frustration: I cant have my case on my desk without putting one monitor in portrait.

On the note of my server, it is so satifying to see idle usage with 3 minecraft servers and client stuff go from 33% to 1%...

If I work from home, it looks like this. Normally I do smart home things at my workplace

[A Former User]

@luckow I gotta get my hands on some test equipment for electronics projects I want to work on. Nice!

[reneeteng]

Not a fan of WFH. Very likely to just lie on the couch.lol
