My Everyday Carry (EDC)
Normally I carry my EDC in a light brown leather satchel given to me by my parents, or in my pockets.
Modded Thinkpad T430 aka Khazad-Dûm
My daily-driver portable computer since December 2022, when I bought it from a portuguese government official for the modest price of 180€.
Since it was a government machine it came with many priviliges, such as a embedded card reader and a fingerprint sensor.
Since then, I have also changed many components of it such as: the keyboard, screen, processor, ultrabay and even switched the motherboard for a Corebooted-one.
Below you can see my neofetch output:
It simply suits my needs. It drives Arch GNU/Linux perfectly, runs the Vivado suite smoothly (although a bit slowly), surfs the web and allows me to SSH and RDP into more powerfull computers at INESC-ID.
The Rest
Normally, in my day to day I also carry:
- My black leather wallet
- My ID cards, debit card and some money
- A HONOR 90 Lite cellphone
- My Hunter Lockblade Swiss Army knife from the ’90s
- My smoking pipe and a tin of tobacco
- My House and HackerSchool keys, in a Ubuntu keychain
My Homelab
Battlestation
Server
This website (and soon other self-hosted services) are running from a T410 found in a garden bench as its mentioned in this post. I have fixed it, clean it and it now drives Ubuntu.
