50<h2>Computers</h2>
51<p>My <a href="https://libreboot.org">librebooted</a> ThinkPad X200
52computer is the machine I use the most and where I do most of my
53computing. I also have the privilege of having access to a fleet of
54servers through our school's
55<a href="https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca">Computer Science Club</a> that I
56use for some more computationally intensive tasks every now and again,
57and also for hosting this very website.</p>
58
59<h2>GNU/Linux distribution</h2>
60<p>I used a wide variety of distros over the years; but I have since
61found <a href="https://trisquel.info">Trisquel</a> to be my favourite
62and it's put my "distro-hopping" days behind me. Sometimes I pair it
63up with <a href="https://guix.gnu.org">GNU Guix</a>. For the kernel,
64I usually use
65<a href="https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU
66Linux-libre</a> from jxself's
67<a href="https://jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.</p>
68
69<h2>Actual computing</h2>
70<p>I spend most of my time in
71<a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a>.</p>
72<p>TODO: elaborate</p>
73
74<h2 id="colophon">Maintaining this site</h2>
75<p>The pages of this site are (manually) written in plain HTML using
76GNU Emacs. You can run <code class="box">git clone
77https://bndl.org</code> in a terminal to get the git repository
78containing all the pages of the site and the history of changes to
79them.</p>
