I have 2 computers atm:
- Work laptop: HP Envy x360 w/ Ryzen 7 APU
- PC: Ryzen 9 5900x + 7900XT
I have a bunch of hetzner vpses running a bunch of stuff atm, but I’m going to be slowly moving things over to either 1984.hosting or setting up a home server. The new infra is all going to be aux from day 1.

Primary Proxmox cluster:
- ~2012 mac mini, 4 threads, 16gigs.
- ~2019 mac mini, 12 threads, 64gigs.
- Ryzen 7 3700X, 16 threads, 128gigs.
- Ryzen Threadripper 3960x, 48 threads, 256gigs.
The Ryzen 7 has an AMD RX590 in it - passed through to our gaming VM. And a light GPU for the hypervisor terminal.
The Threadripper has an NVIDIA 1080 passed to tooling VMs and a Radeon VII passed to my main workstation desktop VM. And a light GPU for the hypervisor terminal.
Laptops:
- 1st gen macbook air.
- 2013 macbook air.
- 2012 macbook pro.
Workstation:
- 2016 iMac.
Tablet:
- Surface Go 2.
Worth noting the 2019 mini and the Threadripper are company machines and about half the apple hardware is 2nd hand rescues. I’m also likely going to migrate my desktop VM to the Ryzen 7 this year as my work tasks have recently shifted around a fair bit.
Ah and ofc. also worth noting that on top of a small business and me, that machine heap serves a household of three 
Oh and we also have an instance of the smallest Linode VM.

Oh, we’re doing hostname schemes? I’ve been naming my servers after Castle Crashers characters since I was thirteen years old! 
My two laptops so far have been named after things people call their partners, so:
- bae for my first laptop, a chromebook
- bae, again when i switched that to Pop!_OS
- gurl, when i switched that to NixOS, and
- boo, when i got a new(ish) laptop that wasn’t nine years old.

FrameWork 11th Gen, Acer Laptop, a bunch of RPI4 + instances in a few clouds (OVH, Hetzner, Upcloud). hopefully another one on vpsfree soon.
Also interested in placing some workload into COOP hosting companies instead of hyperscalers.

We are indeed! I also have the following non-nixos machines (many of them are mobile devices because of my job, so I’m not able to install NixOS)
Alabio, Muscovy, Eider, Gadwall, Albatross, Chickadee, Chicken, Campbell, Ruddy, Marbled, Kiwi

This would have been very boring on my side a week ago but I just changed laptops after 8 years!
- nyx: Framework 16!!! AMD 7840HS, no dGPU, named after Nyx from Hades because of gender envy
- eve: My beloved Macbook Pro from 2015 which I (painfully) used for graphics programming, after I transition everything I will probably set it up for my brother, named because well, apple
- I also have a raspberry pi that had a matrix / home cloud server that I need to get working again, I haven’t got the time lately (and I am now realizing it doens’t have a name, that can’t be!)

- 980 Pro 1TB, written over 6PB in the good old chia mining days when I could easily make like triple ROI. Still going strong
- nagisa: old thinkpad x240, I couldn’t think a good host name, so I just took from CLANNAD

I’ve got a good handful of machines 
- Sapphire: My custom-build Ryzen 7900X + RX 5700 desktop. 32GB DDR5 RAM, 512GB NVME boot drive, and a 1TB HDD for mass storage. This is my workstation, it’s where I work most of my magic.
- Tanzanite: A Framework 16 laptop, loaded with a 7840HS, 16GB RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage. If I’m out and about, hanging out at a local cafe for a bit, this one’s what I’ve got with me.
- Amethyst: Ryzen 3600, RX 6700 XT (i think? don’t remember), and 16GB RAM. Not really used at the moment - basically the parts left over after I finished ship-of-theseusing it into Sapphire. My intention was to set it up as a VR gaming box, but… one day I’ll get those lighthouses sorted. One day. Right now though, it’s pretty muck just collecting dust.
And then there’s the Gemstone Labs collection, which makes up my own personal homelab:
- Aquamarine: A Dell Optiplex with an i5 4570S, and 16GB RAM.
- Biotite, Cassiterite, and Diamond: HP Elitedesks with i7 4785Ts and 8GB RAM (except for Biotite, with 16GB).
Together, those four make up the compute portion of my lab, running virtual machines for a bunch of stuff, like Matrix, Plex, Roon, Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, and a bunch of other bits and pieces.
- Epidote: An Optiplex with a i5 4590, 8GB RAM, and a 4 port NIC. This is my OPNsense firewall, managing routing for my whole home. (“Why not Emerald? Seems more obvious?” That one was taken by my old school laptop, who is unfortunately pretty dead these days.)
- Fluorite: A way overkill Ryzen 5500 with 32GB of ECC RAM, serving as a NAS that provides storage for everything in the Gemstone Labs - backups, VM disks, databases, the whole lot. Backed by 2 arrays - 4x512GB SSDs in RAID10 for 1TB usable, and 6x4TB HDDs in RAID-Z2 for 16TB usable. Also loaded with an SFP+ card for a speedy 10G link to serve those VM disks with minimal choking.
That’s about all of 'em! Oh, and they all run NixOS, of course (except Epidote)
Oh, and why the gem naming scheme? Simple - My name’s Ruby
