My name's Terence Eden. I'm an open source hacker and tinkerer, and I work in civic tech, and this is what's in my dock. This is my hardware setup. I use a cheap generic Linux laptop, which works beautifully, but I pair it with a very big vertical monitor because I spend a lot of my time reading very long documents, and so I just like that nice big vertical screen.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>I use an ergonomic keyboard to keep my hands like that, a nice rollerball. I'm also, if you see me standing around it's because, I use a standing desk, very good for the back, and somewhere under there I've got a treadmill so that while I'm working I can, get my steps in. In in terms of other hardware, well my phone is it's like a 6 and a half year old Android, it's a OnePlus. But what I do is I pair all of my hardware with magnetic charging devices. So I can plug something into the socket, and then I just have a magnetic cable, which charges all of them.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>And that just means that I really only need to carry 1 cable around, 1 battery around. So my day to day work involves reading and writing lots of code, lots of documents, so, I rely heavily on a clipboard manager. I use Pop!OS, which is a Linux distro, and the the great thing about the clipboard manager I find is that it just it stores all of my brains. If I've copied something from somewhere it is there in the history, whether it's a web address or a bit of text that I was using in one document, I want something else. I don't have to go hunting for it, it's just there in history.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The other shortcut I make far too much use of is emoji shortcut. I just love peppering everything that I do with emojis. I don't care if that makes me a tweenager, I think it's cool, and being able to to one click type, what I'm looking for and have sparkle hearts just appear absolute magic. Because I work with lots of very secure systems, I'm constantly typing in usernames and passwords, so I use Bitwarden. Bitwarden is a free and open source password manager, password generator, it's on my phone, it's on my laptop, it's I I use it everywhere and it's just fantastic knowing that I've got super strong passwords for every service, and if I ever need to change 1 or create a new one, it's immediately synced between my devices.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>I don't have to remember 100 of complex passwords, and that's a a real time saver and and a lifesaver for me. The other tool I which I'm using right now is called droidcam, which is, a little gadget which turns my old Android phone up there into a high quality webcam, and there's a little Linux client running on my laptop, which enables me to speak to you in high def, which is very exciting because most laptops have rubbish webcams, so now I've got a big multi megapixel sensor, so you can really see how tired I look. And then, finally, one of the tools I find myself using a great deal is home assistant. I have far too much smart home gadgetry, so I've got my lights are all smart lights, and my fridge is a smart fridge, and I've got sensors and alarms and everything else, and it's great just to be able to see the state of my house, on on the dash, and to be able to turn lights on and off to set the alarm, to set up schedules. So I think when when you're living in a house with lots of technology, you need ways to manage that technology.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Home assistant is, a brilliant open source bit of kit. It runs on a Raspberry Pi which is somewhere in my room, probably. I can ping it so it must exist. I find music incredibly distracting when I'm working. I if someone is singing, I find myself typing what they're singing.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>So I either use, you know, the, the lofi hip hop beats, you know, the, the girl in the in the cafe, or instrumental songs, or sometimes I will just pick a language that I do not know and, just say play me songs in this language, and it it just becomes noise to block everything out. I use lots of weird and wonderful hardware. One of the ones which I'm using quite a lot at the moment are these which are bone conducting headphones. So rather than going in the ear, they sort of rest there and they rattle your head when they put the sound in, which is fantastic because it means that your ears are free, and you can hear what's going on around you. The other piece of hardware which I use quite a lot are are these, which are just typing gloves.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>So you put them on, stops you from getting RSI. If you're working a lot with computers, you you cannot look after your hands too much. So the the other thing that I've got, I'll see if I can get that up on camera here, is a, a trackball, so I can mouse like that rather than gripping a mouse. And then down here, I I love this keyboard so much I've got like 5 of them down there. This is a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard, other brands are available.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>But but again it just means that my hands are spread out, so that I'm not, constantly cramping. And, I'm currently on a standing desk. I really can recommend like a cheap standing desk adapter, if you've already got a desk. It's it's not very expensive and it just means that get your posture right, get a nice foot mat as well. I I spent a bit too much money on a walking desk thing, so it's a it's a little treadmill that goes under there, but anything that keeps you active while you are at a computer is good, because otherwise you'll end up punched over like that, and you'll you'll mess your body up.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>And then the final piece of hardware, that I use is this, which is, an Oculus Quest sorry, they like to be called Meta now, don't they? Meta Quest 2, and I I like this because every time I put it on it reminds me that some tech is just rubbish. You know, the the metaverse is absolute nonsense, but you can go in there and go, this looks so pretty, but it's useless for work, and every time a client says, oh, should we do something in the metaverse? I put this on and go, no, no, that's a bad idea. All all of the gear that I have around me is USB C connected.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>We live in the future now, so microphone is USB C, I've got a little label printer, which is USB C, phone and headphones and just just everything. There there is no point getting a gadget and go, oh, I need to get another proprietary cable. So whenever I get something I always check is this gonna plug in to to my USB C dock, if it doesn't doesn't make the cut. And you know what? My my room is just filled with clutter of various raspberry pies and solar panels and, yeah.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Solar tech is really cool. Just being able to charge stuff from the sun. I love it. So the the final thing, bit of hardware that I use is a, a wine crate, because it's got the the holes in a crate, which hold a bottle, are exactly the right size for shoving lots of cables in. So rather than having my cables all in a messy box, I've got a couple of wine crates, and I've got USB cables there and Ethernet cables there and so on and so forth.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>So that's my my tip to you is don't get a metaverse headset, buy a crate of wine, you will have a lot more use for it. I travel around the world a lot, which is a a great joy and privilege, and so I like to update OpenStreetMap, which is sort of like the the Wikipedia of Atlas', and there's a wonderful app called Street Complete, so you don't need to know anything about cartography. It presents like a sort of Pokemon Go interface, so as you're wandering around it will say what are the hours of this shop over here? Or what's the name of this street, how many stairs are there here, is this place wheelchair accessible. So you get all these little quests, and you go along on street complete as you're wandering around the city, and you just sort of tickmock.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>I think that's great fun, and they have leaderboards, and you get trophies and stuff like that, but the the real joy is contributing to to global mapping. The other hobby that I have, my wife and I run a website called openbenches.org. If you're ever around and you see a memorial bench, you know, one of those benches, a little pack, and it says, in loving memory of so and so who used to love coming here, take a geotagged photo, upload it to to our website. We've now got, I think, over 30,000 benches from around the world that that people have contributed. And it's wonderful just seeing where memorials to to everyday people are.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>And and, yeah, it's all free and open source, so come and have a play with that. And then finally, my I suppose my last hobby is watching Doctor Who. Absolutely love a bit of Doctor Who. There's no real technology needed other than a Blu ray player or a DVD player, but what I find absolutely fascinating is tracing how the ideas from early stories make it into modern stories, and how some of the filming techniques are completely outdated, but you can see what they're trying to do. And yet, even when the special effects are a bit ropey, what you can see is the idea of something interesting, and that gives me hope for all the things that we built.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>So when I look back at my old websites that I built back in the late nineties, they were rubbish, but I can see exactly what I was trying to do. And that gives me hope that when people look at what we're doing now, they'll go cool, that that looks a bit rubbish, but we can see we can see the path that was taken from the olden days into the future. So I would definitely recommend finding an old TV show that that you like and watching it through from the beginning. So I don't keep many things analog. I think the only thing I do is I I fidget a lot.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>So I've got lots of fidget toys like this which are just little things and bits that I have hanging around so that when I'm talking on calls like this, my hands can be busy fidgeting and hopefully not clicking too much near the microphone. But I I've been looking around my house to see what I've got that's analog, and other than me and my wife, I don't think there is anything. And that's it. That's all the gear that I use, the the hardware, the software, all the music I listen to. Everything is USB C powered, even the headphones that I listen to to music through.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>I I've had so much fun talking to you today. If you'd like to follow me on social media, you can find me on mastodon or you can visit my blog, and that's at schukspert.mobiblog or contact me other ways edent dot tel. Thanks for having me.

He first came to America to work on Directus where he is CTO to this day. When not coding you can find him playing bass in the Lower East Side or hanging out with his cats in Brooklyn. Coder-designer by nature, musician at heart; prefers code to be indented in threes. ","145ec186-e959-460e-88a6-e22c11ef1e15",7,"2024-09-09","What's in your Dock, Rijk?","\u003Cp>Speaker 0: Hey. How's it going? So for my daily devices, I use a MacBook Pro in 2021, an iPad Pro, and an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Most of my day to day consists of a split between, you know, doing a lot of meetings, programming, and a bit of design on the side. For those meetings, I use a Sony Alpha s 6,400 with a 16 mil Sigma prime lens.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>I do have an Elgato prompter to make it look like I'm looking at you instead of a screen off to the side, and I use a Blue Yeti mic, a Yeti x. I also use a Logi Lytra glow for a little bit of extra light. And when the meetings are a little bit less interesting, I have a little Tetris micro cart on my desk, off screen. Don't tell anyone. When it comes to software, let's take a look at the dock left to right first.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>First and foremost, I use Arc as a browser. I'm the type of person that doesn't really do more than five taps open at a time or I'm losing my mind. So Arc's organization tools for renaming tabs, making folders, having spaces has really been a game changer for my productivity in that space. Although, I do have to admit, tabs that go to a different space go there to die and then get deleted anyways after a long while. For the basic Smell calendar reminders, I use the Apple standard apps.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>I have tried every new calendar app that comes out. I love experimenting with them. But at the end of the day, I always find myself coming back to the default ones as they basically do what I need them to do and nothing more. Right? They're very pleasing.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>At Directus, we use Notion for note taking. In meetings, we have a bunch of different teams and a bunch of documents. It's a bit unstructured, but that's kind of the beauty of Notion. And we use Linear for task management. So Linear, think of it as GitHub Issues as a separate app, which has really elevated our productivity in the especially the product team.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Then we use Slack for communication with the team internally, and we use Discord for communication with the larger community of users, of Triactus. When I'm programming, I similarly to calendar apps. I've tried, various different apps. I recently tried Zed. I've been using some of the JetBrains stuff.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>I've been on Coda two way back in the day when that was a thing. I've tried Nova. I always come back to Versus Code for the last couple of years. I've set that up very customized. I'm one of the the weird ones that does it in light mode, with a three tap space setting.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>And I use iTerm on the side because I cannot deal with the built in terminal. Just a personal preference thing. For debugging databases, I'm a huge fan of TablePlus. So TablePlus is kind of PHPMyAdmin as a native app, but they support effectively every database under the sun, which is very, very nice. You have to learn the tool once, and then you can just use it, which is great for raw database management, so direct, you know, columns or insertions into databases.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>On the flip side of that, I used RapidAPI, previously known as Paul, as an API debugging tool. So it's kind of similar to Postman or Hopscotch or some of those tools, but as a magnated app. I'm still a UX designer at heart, so apps looking nice is a huge reason for me to use them over something else. Then we use Figma for all the design files. I am a very big fan of FigJam as well for quick notes and figuring out projects and doing more product design, or user experience design.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>And then last but not least, we have Reader and Ivory. So Reader is an RSS feed reader. I use that to stay up to date with a bunch of blogs and personal blogs that I like to follow for any news in the tech industry or improvements to the web platform or any other interesting developments. And I use Ivory as my client for the Vedaverse. So I'm part of the Fostodon server right now, and I try to follow, again, interesting people on the Internet.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>And then last but not least, on the doctor's Spotify, I always got music playing. I mostly listen to everything is what I'm realizing now. There's there's a lot of pop funky stuff in there. There's a lot of alt rock in there, and there's a lot of a little bit of pop sometimes if I just want to focus a little bit and not care about music. Sometimes, I have my own stuff on repeat to get the numbers up, because you gotta game the system a little bit.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Outside of the dock, I am a huge fan of a new app that just came out from Syndra called Scratchpad, which is just a little icon in your menu bar. The only thing it does is it just opens a tiny note, and it goes away when you click it again. So it's just great for a quick, in the middle of a meeting, I have to jot something down. I don't know where it goes. I need to have something to write in within a split second.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Fantastic for that. I use 1Password for all of the password management. Couldn't do without. Use CleanShot for screenshots and screen recordings. Highly recommend that one.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>That is one I cannot do without nowadays. And then the main thing that I install on every machine every time is called Paste. So it's a clipboard manager, similar to the reasoning behind Repit API. It's a MEC native thing. It feels like it was designed by Apple, and I'm sure they get shirts at some point, and I'd be sad when that happens.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>To write. What else? What else do we have here? Oh, yeah. So the the the hobby stops.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Sorry. Outside of work, I like to write and play a lot of music. So one thing I have right off at my desk here is just there's an acoustic guitar sitting ready to go in a demo at any moment. You see, of course, you know, some guitars on the wall. There's there's too many in my apartment here.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>For that, on the computer, I use Logic Pro to record through my, line six HX stomp XL as an interface. And other than that what do we got going on in here? Oh, yeah. Less little desk gadgets. I brought it up.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Before, I have a little Tetris micro card. I don't know if they still make them, but this this gets used a little bit too much in the day. Great way to take a little break. I have an analog Nixie clock sitting here on my desk as a way to keep the time, as if that's not a thing on my computer. And one sort of guilty pleasure that I thought it was gonna be stupid, but I cannot do without nowadays, is an ember mug.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>They're the most again, when I when I bought it, I thought it was gonna be stupid as hell, and now I'm hooked. So recommend one of those as well. I have a little, Belkin wireless charger to prop my phone up and, Sonos on the desk for all of the music that I previously mentioned. And I think that's everything I have around me.\u003C/p>","Hey. How's it going? So for my daily devices, I use a MacBook Pro in 2021, an iPad Pro, and an iPhone 15 Pro Max.
