8 | COMPUTERS | |
9 | ||
10 | My librebooted[1] ThinkPad X200 computer is the machine I use the | |
11 | most and where I do most of my computing. I also have the privilege | |
12 | of having access to a fleet of servers through our school's Computer | |
13 | Science Club[2] that I use for some more computationally intensive | |
14 | tasks every now and again. | |

20 | GNU/LINUX DISTRIBUTION | |
21 | ||
22 | I used a wide variety of distros over the years; but I have | |
23 | since found Trisquel[3] to be my favourite and it's put my | |
24 | ``distro-hopping'' days behind me. Sometimes I pair it up with | |
25 | GNU Guix[4]. For the kernel, I usually use GNU Linux-libre[5] | |
26 | from jxself's APT repository[6]. | |

34 | ACTUAL COMPUTING | |
35 | ||
36 | I spend most of my time in GNU Emacs[7]. | |

45 | The pages of this site are all written in plain text and composed in |
46 | GNU Emacs. They are then automatically converted to HTML with | |
47 | minimal changes -- mostly just linkifying URLs -- on each git push, | |
48 | by this nifty Perl script: https://bndl.org/txt2html. To get the | |
49 | git repository containing all of the pages and their history of | |
50 | changes, you can run git clone https://bndl.org in a terminal. | |
