   1 How I do my computing

   8 COMPUTERS
   9
  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
  35
  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.
