welcome to the machine

a shrine to me hoarding

i love collecting and tinkering with stuff and a friend on agoratold me it'll be nice if i wrote about my gear

so...

computers

main machine

M1 MAX 32gb ram 512gb ssd

that beast is new to me, my first apple silicon mac and it's thrilling. i'ts so fast and handles everything i throw at it

software: mostly ableton and renoise

not so old

• 2019 i7 32gb ram 512gb ssd macbook pro - the retired main machine
• 2015 1.6ghz i5 4gb ram macbook air - running omarchy nicely and good for when i want to go light
• 2015 lenovo yoga- tv/windows machine, mostly stream games to my ps3 via ps3NETservand sometime light emulation
• 2022 i3 - my couch computer, browsing the web, journaling, youtube
• 2015 dell insipron i5 - bed computer, youtube and journaling

macintosh through the decades

• PowerMac G4 Quicksilver - OS9 machine, i love each part of it and using weird old audio software on it is a delight it hosts a Yamaha SW1000xg that i use mainly for the great XG MIDI sounds and to sync synths and Rebirth 2.0 to main machine

Powerbook G4 Titanium - that motherfucker is so pretty and the keyboard is amazing. rocking OSX tiger 4.11 i use it with old ableton, renoise and for writing, and of course checking werid PPC stuff

2006 core 2 Duo iMac - it's kinda of a home server for all legacy apple machines through afp and i also game on it and use legacy intel plugins via network midi

2010 core 2 duo Macbook pro - Snow leopard 10.6.8 is the best OSX to my opinion. there are some cool legacy intel plugins and software i run with, and it's snappy and the OS design is gold

Also a BBC Micro model 2!
