aerial

aerial is a first generation Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon. Daily driver does everything I could reasonably expect, looks and feels good doing it. To make fast software you need slow computers.

thinkpad X1C lid with stickers crowding for space. at bottom right, plunkins nestle in the brush by the power and sleep indicators (both lit up); the central space is dominated by a magenta and black wireframe palm tree with a chibi Shion Yorigami walking on its roots wit her begging bowl. behind her is a 3d wireframe doughnut with a windows-XP style messagebox above it that says [task failed successfully - ok]. above that is the chroma wheels logo; a badger sits atop the palm tree; on the left side of the tree are some more sparsely placed stickers: hundredrabbits logo and the uxn beet are along the bottom. above them are the mushroom blading logo and the planet earth with a rainbow halo being cradled by brown hands with a sprout growing out of the north pole, and at top-left by the upside-down thinkpad logo is a depicition of the goddess Kali, but as a hotdog desktop environment; a black bar at top has load average, a button for a minimized window that says acme left-aligned to the central space, and a network, battery, and clock clustered at right with a power button; the desktop background is an Asteroid painting of a woman carrying another woman on her shoulders through a mountainous terrain toward a large artificial circular door; two black audacious windows on the right of the desktoipshow the playback controls and playlist respectively, playing Suicide Silence; on the left a translucent blue terminal with turquoise border is the active window, showing the output of df -h

mmx02

mmx02 is a Samsung A15 5G. As far as smartphones go, it's repairable, not too big, and powerful enough to function for day-to-day use. Replaced pet01 because I couldn't find affordable OEM parts for it.

proteus

proteus is a Dell Precision T3600: media client and gaming machine. It was prevously named yggdrasil. Instead of my usual void plan9port/linux-musl this machine runs "vanilla" void GNU/Linux since it's gotta deal with DRM and gaming with minimal friction.
