| | 31 | <p>(Inspired by computing pages of |
| | 32 | <a href="//stallman.org/stallman-computing.html">rms</a> and |
| | 33 | <a href="//blog.vimuser.org/leah-computing.html">Leah Rowe</a>)</p> |

| | 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> |
| | 48 | |
| | 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. |
