Latest posts
Harambasic Consulting
A few selected projects a year. AI, automation, and product for startups. I advise, and I build.
Electricity Maps
The world’s most comprehensive electricity data platform. Companies use it to figure out where their energy actually comes from and what to do about it.
AirPod Pro 2
Had the first version, got the second one but sadly still have them with a Lighntning-Port. USB-C for the win!
Anker Prime Charger
As far as I know the smallest 100W charger (enough to charge a Macbook Pro) with 2x USB-Cand 2x USB-A.

Had a MagSafe Powerbank but as I'm now on Android I needed a replacement. Tech spec: 10.000mAh, 30W, integrated USB-C cable.
Vortrieb Modell 1.2
All black city bike for my daily commute. I love it. Just a front basket for my backpack is missing.
Camelbak Chute Mag (1.2 l)
I fell in love with big water bottles, my old one broke and I got this one as a present. Dropped it multiple times and nothing happened.
ChatGPT
I have the Plus version from work. I use it in different situations, dedicated post will follow.
Electric Tape (blue)
I'm getting around a bit, leacing with two room mates. I needed something to mark everything that is mine so that I won't forget it, but also other know that it's mine.
Fritzvold Minimal Wallet
I'm not a fan of these sliding wallets, but I also want something small that can hold a few coins and bills. Recycled paper artificial leather that is super durable.
Ghostty
Used Warp, but got to much AI, to much account, to much pushy in updates and it was slow. Giving Ghostty now a shot.
Google Keep
Use for more valatile notes, not knowledge that should be persisted, use it as "App" via Safari on my MacBook to have it in my dock.
iPad Air 13" (M2)
Always wanted an iPad with a large screen to also use it as a second screen when needed. And as I got to love the Apple silicons I also wanted at least a M1.
Loop Quiet 2 Kinetic
Got these earplugs recommended and have to say they fit perfectly, they dont fall out. I also love the little case so I can just throw them in my backback.

My work laptop.
Notion
Used it for private stuff, heavily during my studies and now at work.
Perplexity AI
I use it for more complex search queries where I know I'll have to visit multiple sites to gather that information.

Raspberry Pi 5 (8 GB)
Set up with Ansible and Docker, right now running Home Assistent with Zigbee. Next on the list: OpenVPN, AdGuard. Post will follow.
Standard Notes
My knowledge base, see it as how others use Obsidian. Out of the box sync on multiple devices and web access are important for me. The free version is enough and it is e2e encrypted.
Peak Design Tech Pouch
Bring a little bit more organization to your tech. I'm not using it at the moment as I heavily reduced what I bring with me. But might become more relevant again.
Todoist
My go-to todo list. It exists for that single purpose and doesn't try to be more. I have a pro subscription. I use it at work and for private tasks.
Wandrd PRVKE (21 l)
Water-resistant 21L backpack for biking to work and travel. Features attachable waist and accessory straps for versatility.
Withings ScanWatch 2
Love that people don't spot that it is a Smart Watch. Love the month-long battery time. But it's not working at the moment, need to fix it.

Quite expansive, but the warmness (Kelvin) and brightness can be adjusted seamlessly (Mobile & Desktop).
Elgato Streamdeck

I bought this password manager before they started the subscription model. Therefore, I can use it without any monthly fees.

Awesome vector tool, you can work live at files and share them easily.
GitHub Actions
As all my projects are on GitHub I'm just happy about such a simple solution for automation.
Google Workspace
In my case it is used privately, but it is also very easy to set up for small to large organizations.

Vercel
Same as Netlify, but I prefer Vercel for projects with serverless functions.
VS Code
As I'm not a big fan of TextEdit (macOS) I use VS Code as my primarily text editor. And nowadays also for Astro.js.
