1x Optiplex 7050 running windows/hyper-v.
2x Synology diskstations (1 runs backups from the other)
2x rasperberry PI's running pikvm for the optiplexes
1x Raspberry Pi running a dakboard build.
1x 2012 Mac mini...was mostly used during COVID for WFH. I do some toying with garage band on it but thats about it.
Plus a laptop or two for myself/wife/kids.
11-12 Total I suppose. 9 or so pretty much 24/7
-Intel NUC i5 with 32g RAM (use for my self-hosted stuff)
-M1 Max MBP (use for daily driver, usually)
-System76 Thelio with 5950x and 64G RAM (use for heavy compute and US-based streaming)
-Raspberry Pi (pi-hole DNS)
-2014 MacBook Pro 16G RAM (old daily driver—incredible longevity)
I have computers in my heat pump water heater, at least 4 in my 2 heat pump HVAC systems, at least 4 in the 4 TVs in the house, at least 2 in game consoles, at least 1 in the Apple TV, at least one in each car, probably one in each refrigerator, washer, dryer, dishwasher, microwave, instant pot, etc., at least 1 in the 8 laptops, 1 Mac Pro desktop, 4 chrome books, 4 iPads, 6 phones, 3 kindles, 1 printer, 1 headless c…
- 1 work laptop (zbook i9 11th gen, nvidia a200)
- 1 macbook (m1)
- 1 synology nas
- 1 wife laptop (very old netbook-like)
- 1 ipad (2018)
- 1 kid laptop for school (windows, i5 8th gen)
- 1 windows laptop (6th gen, nvidia 1060, used for kid gaming)
So that's 8 in total. Besides the xbox, a dormant nuc, a few smart phones, a hue hub, a couple of rpis, android tv, a few chromecast dongles, a nest, a couple of android tablets, a system for managing my solar panels, and maybe I forgot a few.
And a couple of Raspis for more invasive stuff that I do (red teaming).
Less is more, yes I am old.
- 2021 Ryzen 24-core 64Gb RAM (heavier stuff, remote k8s dev, etc)
- 2021 Intel MBP (90% of the working time there)
- 2021 7-inch Pocket Book (for fun really. I call it my "Emacs machine")
Lying around:
- 2015(-ish?) Macbook Air, now with Linux. Such a great little thing, can't bear to get rid of it
- Half-a-dozen ugly, plasticky PC laptops. Did their job, but my eyes just refuse non-HiDPI screens nowadays.
Work computers running on Manjaro:
- Desktop AMD 5800X with 32GB RAM, bought in 2021
- Laptop Dell Precision 5520 with 32GB RAM, bought in 2017
- Ubiquiti Dream Machine
- Synology NAS (DS918+)
- 4x RaspberryPi 4 on Raspbian, forming a Kubernetes cluster with K3S
- Ubiquiti UniFi Flex to power the Pis with PoE
- A reMarkable
- A Chromecast Ultra used for streaming games from my computer to the TV with Steam Remote Play, also works when at a hotel (!)
- A RaspberryPi 3 connected to speakers, running a simple PulseAudio server that I can remotely connect to to stream audio (very little latency compared to the misc AirPlay implementations I tested)- main desktop PC (AMD Ryzen 5950X, 64GB, 2TB SSD) I use for basically everything when I'm doing stuff at home (dual boot Linux/Windows)
- a recent 2021 14" MacBook Pro (which replaced an older 2016 MBP) for university
- a 4th-gen iPad Air with Pencil (mostly note-taking and occasional media consumption)
- my previous desktop PC (Intel 3770k, ~12TB storage) stuffed full of storage, just a place where I can throw data I don't immediately need anymore
- a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 512GB SSD attached, running some home services like DNS
So 5 in total not counting my phone.
(3) There's four of us humans in the house, but only three that you could ask to do some addition.
(1) The work computer is a HP z-book. It is a G3 model currently, but they're swapping it out for a newer one this month.
(1) The main daily driver for home is a Thinkpad 470s with openSUSE or Fedora on it.
(3) Several older laptops i've kept around as backups. They're in the closet.
(1) An older Synology 4-bay NAS.
(1) A Raspberry pi 4 hooked up to the TV.
(1) A Raspberry pi 3+ sitting in a box; I've been meaning to use if for DNS-based filtering.
(2) Two Mac devices the wife uses.
(2) Two smart phones.
(2) Two ebook readers.
(1) A kids kindle.
(4) 3D printer projects and other projects that have arduinos or something similar.
(2) Graphing calculators

Total: 24
Not counting a broken dell G5 5505 that keeps going into the shop under warranty, the not-yet-delivered steamdeck, or the collection of slide rules.
