What do I have?

Posted on by Ercan

First of all, hello from sunny Izmir. Today is Tuesday but I feel like off-day. I know, I need to write technical articles for the community that is working with passionate people. It’s on the way, I promise… The title is “Cloud: Using NAT on Private Subnets”. The article is comparing serverless NAT service and self-managed ec2 NAT service. Anyway, let’s start…

For Work: Apple MacBookPro M1 with 16GiG memory and a 256GB SSD. OS: Always latest. For now macOS Big Sur Version 11.4

For Personal: Dell XPS 13 with 4K Touch Screen resolution. It has 8 GiG memory and a 256 GB NVMe disk on it. OS Info: Manjaro Linux with KDE up-to-date.


For Other Purposes: Intel® NUC Kit NUC8i7HVK. It’s really amazing hardware on it. You can see details on the product page. It has 32 GiG memory with 2 x 512 GB RAID 0 NVMe disk. Windows 10 Enterprise and I are really fell in love with it.

Since 2017, I’m using Samsung UE28E590, 4K 4ms monitor. It’s not a pivot and I used Dell P2719H 27″ 5ms FHD as a pivot for my SSH sessions but that monitor owner is my previous company and I give back when I decided to leave.

My company gives me an Apple Magic Mouse 2 and Apple Wireless Keyboard and now I’m using them and I’m okay with that.


My Internet provider is turk.net and turk.net is a really amazing provider with cost-effective plans. I’m using VDSL2 internet technology at home (WFH) and I’m getting 100mbps download and 8mbps upload speed. I can configure this monster to connect via IPSec VPN to AWS Cloud and/or Google Cloud Platform. I’m also testing some services and using them if I need. Device is Juniper SRX-110HA v2. Oldies but goldies…
I’m using Xiaomi 4A Router with 5GHz mode. Just my TV directly cable connected to my local network. Other mobile devices connecting via Wi-Fi.
I’m using Samsung UE50RU7400UXTK (2019). It’s 50″ and it’s fair enough for me. Mostly I’m watching YouTube and listening on Spotify. The platform is Tizen and OS is also running on the latest version. The AirPlay2 feature is really a life saver for me. I’m connecting on MBP with few clicks.
Now I’m planning to use pivot monitor again for my CLIOps and SSH sessions.
It’s Dell P2418D with 2K resolution.
Next week, I’m ordering these amazing kit and I’m switching Apple Magic Mouse 2 and Apple Keyboard set.
