Main computer
My main computer is an Acer Aspire 3 (A315-53G-52A4) from 2018. It gets the job done, but occasionally it can be a pain in the ass, as most laptops are these days.

VPS
I use a VPS from Contabo for my website and my services, because self-hosting on my own machine isn't possible, since I don't have a machine I can use as my server, or a reliable internet connection. In the past, I used to host my stuff on an old Dell Latitude D630 laptop.

Phone
For the last three years I have been using a Xiaomi Redmi 9 as my phone. It's the first, and maybe last phone I'll own from them. It has been pretty reliable, with very few issues so far. Not bad. Also I'm glad I got rid of MIUI, it's so bad...
