*operating systems*

- currently (7.19.22) using mac os on a 2013 macbook pro
- for six months, until august of 2021, I ran debian on my macbook, 
until I realized there was an issue that it was running both graphics cards at once,
and was causing physical damage to my machine

when I was running debian I felt like my computer was more magical. 
by the recommendation of @zon and @luandro, I'm curious to try running manjaro in the future.

*note-taking* <br/>
I use simplenote 
special syntax ... mostly ephemeral

I also journal by hand in muji notebooks. 

<br/>

*backups* <br/>
I back up my computer onto a password-encrypted external hard-drive using Time Machine, 
every month or so.
