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