| 12 | <h2>Computers</h2> |
| 13 | <p>My <a href="//libreboot.org">librebooted</a> ThinkPad X200 computer |
| 14 | is the machine I use the most and where I do most of my computing. I |
| 15 | also have the privilege of having access to a fleet of servers through |
| 16 | our school's |
| 17 | <a href="//csclub.uwaterloo.ca">Computer Science Club</a> that I use |
| 18 | for some more computationally intensive tasks every now and again, and |
| 19 | also for hosting this very website.</p> |
| 20 | |
| 21 | <h2>GNU/Linux distributions</h2> |
| 22 | <p>I have used a wide variety of GNU/Linux distros over the years; but |
| 23 | as of late, I find myself using |
| 24 | <a href="//trisquel.info">Trisquel</a>, |
| 25 | <a href="//guix.gnu.org">Guix System</a>, and |
| 26 | <a href="//www.debian.org">Debian</a> (with no <code>contrib</code> or |
| 27 | <code>non-free</code>) almost exclusively. For the kernel, I mostly |
| 28 | use <a href="//www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU |
| 29 | Linux-libre</a>. Guix System comes with GNU Linux-libre out of the |
| 30 | box, and on Debian-based distros I tend to install it from |
| 31 | jxself's <a href="//jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.</p> |
| 32 | |
| 33 | <h2>Actual computing</h2> |
| 34 | <p>I spend most of my time in |
| 35 | <a href="//www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a>.</p> |
| 36 | <p>TODO: elaborate</p> |
| 37 | |
| 38 | <h2 id="colophon">Maintaining this site</h2> |
| 39 | <p>I took a great amount of inspiration |
| 40 | from <a href="//technomancy.us/colophon">Phil Hagelberg</a>'s setup. |
| 41 | The pages of this site are written in plain HTML using GNU Emacs, |
| 42 | with <a href="//gnu.org/s/m4">GNU M4</a> acting as a full-featured |
| 43 | template engine. |
| 44 | A <a href="/GNUmakefile"><code>GNUmakefile</code></a> provides |
| 45 | convenient <code>make</code> rules to build and publish the site. The |
| 46 | bibliography of my <a href="/publications">publications</a> is |
| 47 | generated from <a href="/bandali.bib"><code>bandali.bib</code></a> |
| 48 | using <a href="//www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/">bibtex2html</a>, |
| 49 | and further processed and put together |
| 50 | using <a href="//gnu.org/s/sed">GNU sed</a> and another |
| 51 | <code>GNUmakefile</code>. The git repository containing all the |
| 52 | sources used to build this site is |
| 53 | available <a href="//git.emacsconf.org/bandali/bndl.org">here</a>.</p> |
