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 available in (manually-written) HTML and
76plain text, both composed in GNU Emacs. To get the git repository
77containing all of the pages of the site and the history of changes to
78them, you can run <code class="box">git clone https://bndl.org</code>
79in a terminal.</p>
