Camera
My camera is an OM-5 Mark II, I use this with the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 PRO with a 1/8th Mist Filter.
I have not taken many pictures with it yet, so more pictures are to come.
You can browse the images I have taken above, however the quality is compressed here as I want the site to be performance friendly. If you want the higher quality images I can send them to you over mail, feel free to request them at contact@jas.pe
Reading
My eReader is an Xteink X4 Pro, that I got in September 2026, flashed with CrossPoint Reader (alt).
Laptop
My laptop is a ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 (Carbon Fiber + Magnesium), I like the small form factor & portability of it, it is running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. This is what I use for projects of mine, both on the development and design sides of things.
PC
My home PC is a custom build. I was taught by my father how to build PC’s, which is pretty cool, currently it consists mostly of recycled components:
| Base | Item |
|---|---|
| OS | Ubuntu 26.04 LTS w/ Windows 11 |
| MB | ASUS TUF GAMING B760M-PLUS WIFI II |
| CPU | 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-13900K × 32 |
| GPU | RTX 2000 Ada Generation |
| RAM | 128.0 GiB DDR5 ECC |
| Storage | Samsung SSD 970 PRO 1TB x 3 |
| Peripherals | Item |
|---|---|
| Microphone | Sydney USB Stadium Mic |
| Headset | Audio-Technica ATH-M40x |
| Mouse | Logitech G309 |
| Keyboard | Keychron Q6 He 8K w/ Custom Keycaps |
The storage layout is unique though, I have Ubuntu installed over my first 2 SSDs, and Windows 11 on my 3rd.
Now the SSDs are laid out like this:
SSD1: 1GB /boot RAID1 partition. 500GB /games RAID0 partition. 495GB / RAID1 Partition.
SSD2: 1GB /boot RAID1 partition. 500GB /games RAID0 partition. 495GB / RAID1 Partition.
SSD3: Windows.
This is due to my fear of data loss. This allows me to have 1TB of space available for games, in a RAID0 setup for performance in read and writes but primarily for the increased storage capacity. And this gives me RAID1 for my data integrity, in case a drive fails my system and boot partitions are recoverable. As for windows, I do not care. I just have it for the games that do not run with Steam in Proton.
Homelab
My homelab very swiftly evolves, so this may be out of date already.
I have a few GPU’s I use for local AI inferencing, this is run with the RTX 2000 Ada Generation, as it is very power efficient and very small, so for my SFF home lab it works very well.
Other things I carry
On my person I carry a variety of things, primarily my Yubikeys, those being the Yubikey 5 (Type C) & the Yubikey NFC series for the increased security that hardware keys bring.
