-<h2>Computers</h2>
-<p>My main computer is a
-soon-to-be-<a href="https://libreboot.org">librebooted</a>
-ThinkPad X200. This is the machine I use the most in or out the
-house. I also own and occasionally use a Dell XPS 15 more as a
-“Desktop”, and a ThinkPad X220T tablet I use when reading
-(and annotating) research papers.</p>

+<h2>Computers</h2>
+<p>My <a href="https://libreboot.org">librebooted</a> 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
-<a href="https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca">Computer Science Club</a>,
-which I use for some heavier computations every now and
-again.</p>
+<a href="https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca">Computer Science Club</a> that I
+use for some more computationally intensive tasks every now and again,
+and also for hosting this very website.</p>
-<h2>GNU/Linux distros</h2>
-<p>I've used a large number of GNU/Linux distributions throughout the
-years, but as of late, my favourite distros are
-<a href="//trisquel.info">Trisquel</a>,
-<a href="//guix.gnu.org">Guix System</a>, and
-<a href="//www.debian.org">Debian</a> (with no <code>contrib</code> or
-<code>non-free</code>). I mostly use the
-<a href="//www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU Linux-libre</a> kernel.
-Guix System comes with GNU Linux-libre out of the box, and on
-Debian-based distros I install it from jxself's
-<a href="//jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.</p>
+<h2>GNU/Linux distribution</h2>
+<p>I used a wide variety of distros over the years; but I have since
+found <a href="https://trisquel.info">Trisquel</a> to be my favourite
+and it's put my "distro-hopping" days behind me. Sometimes I pair it
+up with <a href="https://guix.gnu.org">GNU Guix</a>. For the kernel,
+I usually use
+<a href="https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU
+Linux-libre</a> from jxself's
+<a href="https://jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.</p>
<h2>Actual computing</h2>
<p>I spend most of my time in
-<a href="//www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a>.</p>
+<a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a>.</p>
<p>TODO: elaborate</p>
-<h2>Cell phone</h2>
-<p>I have an old Nexus 5 I reluctantly use from time to time. It runs
-LineageOS+microG without GApps. Sadly it still requires some blobs
-for functioning. I can't wait for lxo's
-<a href="//www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/blogs/lxo/pub/0G">0G</a> to become a
-reality fast enough.
