my tailor's drawer
By Astrid • Last updated on 28/02/2025
There’s a Spanish expression called “tailor’s drawer” (cajón de sastre) used to refer to a messy collection of random items.
This page is precisely that, a messy collection of random stuff I have or find interesting.

I do recommend what I put in this section (at least at the time of writing).

Hardware
The fact that I’m using this hardware doesn’t mean that I recommend it. If I have it, it’s probably because it was relatively cheap.

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050

I found this mini-PC thrown next to a trash container by a random company, and it works quite well. As for the screen, I’m using a refurbished laptop screen, with a controller I bought on AliExpress.
