8 COMPUTERS

10 My librebooted[1] ThinkPad X200 computer is the machine I use the
11 most and where I do most of my computing. I also have the privilege
12 of having access to a fleet of servers through our school's Computer
13 Science Club[2] that I use for some more computationally intensive
14 tasks every now and again.

20 GNU/LINUX DISTRIBUTION
21
22 I used a wide variety of distros over the years; but I have
23 since found Trisquel[3] to be my favourite and it's put my
24 ``distro-hopping'' days behind me. Sometimes I pair it up with
25 GNU Guix[4]. For the kernel, I usually use GNU Linux-libre[5]
26 from jxself's APT repository[6].

34 ACTUAL COMPUTING

36 I spend most of my time in GNU Emacs[7].

43 MAINTAINING THIS SITE
44
45 The pages of this site are all written in plain text and composed in
46 GNU Emacs. They are then automatically converted to output markups
47 such as HTML with minimal changes -- mostly linkifying URLs -- on
48 each git push using a server-side git post-receive hook that runs
49 `make' -- see https://bndl.org/GNUmakefile -- which ultimately runs
50 this nifty Perl script: https://bndl.org/txt2pre. To get the git
51 repository containing all of the pages and their history of changes,
52 you can run git clone https://bndl.org in a terminal.
