| 46 | |
| 47 | <p class="box">inspired by the computing page of |

| 50 | <h2>Computers</h2> |
| 51 | <p>My <a href="https://libreboot.org">librebooted</a> ThinkPad X200 |
| 52 | computer is the machine I use the most and where I do most of my |
| 53 | computing. I also have the privilege of having access to a fleet of |
| 54 | servers through our school's |
| 55 | <a href="https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca">Computer Science Club</a> that I |
| 56 | use for some more computationally intensive tasks every now and again, |
| 57 | and 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 |
| 61 | found <a href="https://trisquel.info">Trisquel</a> to be my favourite |
| 62 | and it's put my "distro-hopping" days behind me. Sometimes I pair it |
| 63 | up with <a href="https://guix.gnu.org">GNU Guix</a>. For the kernel, |
| 64 | I usually use |
| 65 | <a href="https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU |
| 66 | Linux-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 |
| 76 | GNU Emacs. You can run <code class="box">git clone |
| 77 | https://bndl.org</code> in a terminal to get the git repository |
| 78 | containing all the pages of the site and the history of changes to |
| 79 | them.</p> |
