How I do my computing

COMPUTERS

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

GNU/LINUX DISTRIBUTION

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

ACTUAL COMPUTING

  I spend most of my time in GNU Emacs[7].

MAINTAINING THIS SITE

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