8 | COMPUTERS | |

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]. | |

43 | MAINTAINING THIS SITE | |
44 | ||
49ead255 | 45 | The pages of this site are all written in plain text and composed in |
90b0cc00 AB |
46 | GNU Emacs. They are then automatically converted to output markups |
47 | such as HTML with minimal changes -- mostly linkifying URLs -- on | |
48 | each git push using a server-side git post-receive hook that runs | |
49 | `make' -- see https://bndl.org/GNUmakefile -- which ultimately runs | |
50 | this nifty Perl script: https://bndl.org/txt2pre. To get the git | |
51 | repository containing all of the pages and their history of changes, | |
52 | you can run git clone https://bndl.org in a terminal. | |
