| 35 | <h2>Computers</h2> | |
| 36 | <p>My main computer is a | |
| 37 | soon-to-be-<a href="https://libreboot.org">librebooted</a> | |
| 38 | ThinkPad X200. This is the machine I use the most in or out the | |
| 39 | house. I also own and occasionally use a Dell XPS 15 more as a | |
| 40 | “Desktop”, and a ThinkPad X220T tablet I use when reading | |
| 41 | (and annotating) research papers.</p> | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | <p>I also have the privilege of having access to a fleet of beefy | |
| 44 | servers through our school's | |
| 45 | <a href="https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca">Computer Science Club</a>, | |
| 46 | which I use for some heavier computations every now and | |
| 47 | again.</p> | |

| 49 | <h2>GNU/Linux distros</h2> | |
| 50 | <p>I've used a large number of GNU/Linux distributions throughout the | |
| 51 | years, but as of late, my favourite distros are | |
| 52 | <a href="//trisquel.info">Trisquel</a>, | |
| 53 | <a href="//guix.gnu.org">Guix System</a>, and | |
| 54 | <a href="//www.debian.org">Debian</a> (with no <code>contrib</code> or | |
| 55 | <code>non-free</code>). I mostly use the | |
| 56 | <a href="//www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU Linux-libre</a> kernel. | |
| 57 | Guix System comes with GNU Linux-libre out of the box, and on | |
| 58 | Debian-based distros I install it from jxself's | |
| 59 | <a href="//jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.</p> | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | <h2>Actual computing</h2> | |
| 62 | <p>I spend most of my time in | |
| 63 | <a href="//www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a>.</p> | |
| 64 | <p>TODO: elaborate</p> | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | <h2>Cell phone</h2> | |
| 67 | <p>I have an old Nexus 5 I reluctantly use from time to time. It runs | |
| 68 | LineageOS+microG without GApps. Sadly it still requires some blobs | |
| 69 | for functioning. I can't wait for lxo's | |
| 70 | <a href="//www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/blogs/lxo/pub/0G">0G</a> to become a | |
| 71 | reality fast enough. | |
