On this page, I want to share how I get my stuff done, at least the computing part of it.

I was lucky to get it quite cheap without Windows preinstalled. I like about it that it did not yet fail on me over the last years. I replaced the crappy hard disk with a SSD to get some performance out of the otherwise not very powerful laptop. The screen is not that good, but the fact that it's a matte screen makes it quite usable in the sunlight. I removed the camera and microphone. `This guide `_ was quite helpful for that, although it's actually for replacing the screen. However, the same steps make it possible to access the camera and microphone module above the screen. + +I built my own PC after I had finished school and I still use it today. The CPU is an Intel Core i7-860 and runs overclocked at 3.4 GHz which is still enough for my performance needs. The processor is perfectly cooled by a `Scythe Mugen 2 Rev.B `_ which is not only really huge but also very quiet. I added 8 GB of RAM and the motherboard is a `MSI P55-GD65 `_. I can't really say something positive about the motherboard as it made quite some issues over the years. The only bad purchase besides the motherboard was the GPU. I managed to buy a variant of the Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 from EVGA that has the fan always running at 100%. To keep the noise down, I replaced the fan with an `Alpenföhn Klara `_. The power supply is from `bequiet! `_ and everything is kept inside a nice Aluminium case from Lian Li that also has a side panel window. The only issue the sometimes oscillating and thus noisy side panel. + +For personal data and services for family and friends, I use a HP ProLiant MicroServer N54L as a home server. It is equipped with two 1 TB disks. A TP-Link TL-WDR4300 serves as router with an Allnet ALL0333CJ as modem. This blog and other public stuff is hosted on a `VPS `_ which uses `KVM `_. I'm planning to move from the VPS to another home server as soon as I can get hold on a fast internet connection that is separate from the one the MicroServer is connected to. I'd like to keep the two servers completely separate from each other so I can use them as backups for each other. + + +Software +######## + +Coming soon! diff --git a/pelican-themes b/pelican-themes index c63928f..4eebebc 160000 --- a/pelican-themes +++ b/pelican-themes @@ -1 +1 @@ -Subproject commit c63928f911753ad98937080c102e6485d7416850 +Subproject commit 4eebebc6c808280d62c2c8f420c94b5059bb9ab4 -- cgit v1.1
