Now I use a MacBook Air M1 with 16gb.
I use a UPerfect 4K travel monitor which really works well.
One thing that's annoying to carry around but that I don't want to be without is my Ultimate Hacking Keyboard.
For note taking, I got myself a Remarkable 2.
Browser
Working on the web I tend to use all kinds of browsers, but my favorite is Firefox.
Security
I use lots of extensions, but the most important one is probably Bitwarden, an open-source password manager that I use on all my devices.
Coding & Development
These days I use Elixir on the backend nearly exclusively, because it's just so fast while still being easy to use.
I write all my code with Neovim.
Other
I'm Lain, I started one of the more popular Fediverse server projects, Pleroma and I have a blog at blog.soykaf.com.
There's no much choice on a Mac besides macOS, so I'm using that.
To stay productive, I use the Session app, which is a pomodoro timer with a few more features (although I barely use those).
