How I do my Computing

Computers

My librebooted ThinkPad X200 computer is the machine I use the most and where I do most of my computing. I also have the privilege of having access to a fleet of servers through our school's Computer Science Club that I use for some more computationally intensive tasks every now and again, and also for hosting this very website.

GNU/Linux distribution

I used a wide variety of distros over the years; but I have since found Trisquel to be my favourite and it's put my "distro-hopping" days behind me. Sometimes I pair it up with GNU Guix. For the kernel, I usually use GNU Linux-libre from jxself's APT repository.

Actual computing

I spend most of my time in GNU Emacs.

TODO: elaborate

Maintaining this site

The pages of this site are available in (manually-written) HTML and plain text, both composed in GNU Emacs. To get the git repository containing all of the pages of the site and the history of changes to them, you can run git clone https://bndl.org in a terminal.
