A new fursuit. Current one is almost 15 years old, has been to dozens of conventions with hours and hours of running around like an idiot.
Fursuiting for me is a hugely important form of self expression and escapism, I absolutely love it.
I’ve used Linux off and on for quite awhile, all of my jobs have always included some level of Linux administration.
Somewhat ironically my current role is senior .NET developer. Though I suppose that’s a lot more platform agnostic than it used to be =)
New laptop for myself. I’ve spent years using my phone and work laptops. I have a VM on a cloud provider I use for personal storage, tinkering, etc.
Dell XPS 13 Plus, got it fully loaded but with the least amount of storage available. Immediately upgraded the NVMe to 2T and installed Linux.
Despite making a descent income, I’m weirdly averse to spending on myself. In any case, totally worth it, it’s been a month and I use the machine every day.

Doing this is a hot take, but “clean architecture” is a joke.
My company is obsessed with it.
I just ordered a second one a couple months from a top-tier maker and it was pretty expensive.
The first one I got back in 2008 was $1450. I don’t think it’s possible to get a descent one for under $3000 these days
Northeast US here. Fairly healthy competition in my area, the fiber at my home is about $50/mo
