-<h2>GNU/Linux distros</h2>
-<p>I've used a large number of GNU/Linux distributions throughout the
-years, but as of late, my favourite distros are
-<a href="//trisquel.info">Trisquel</a>,
-<a href="//guix.gnu.org">Guix System</a>, and
-<a href="//www.debian.org">Debian</a> (with no <code>contrib</code> or
-<code>non-free</code>).  I mostly use the
-<a href="//www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU Linux-libre</a> kernel.
-Guix&nbsp;System comes with GNU Linux-libre out of the box, and on
-Debian-based distros I install it from jxself's
-<a href="//jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.</p>
+<h2>GNU/Linux distribution</h2>
+<p>I used a wide variety of distros over the years; but I have since
+found <a href="https://trisquel.info">Trisquel</a> to be my favourite
+and it's put my "distro-hopping" days behind me.  Sometimes I pair it
+up with <a href="https://guix.gnu.org">GNU Guix</a>.  For the kernel,
+I usually use
+<a href="https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU
+Linux-libre</a> from jxself's
+<a href="https://jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.</p>

+<h2 id="colophon">Maintaining this site __anc(`colophon')</h2>
+<p>I took a great amount of inspiration
+from <a href="https://technomancy.us/colophon">technomancy</a>'s
+setup.  The pages of this site are written in plain HTML using GNU
+Emacs, with GNU M4 acting as a full-featured template engine.
+A <a href="__p/GNUmakefile"><code>GNUmakefile</code></a> provides
+convenient <code>make</code> rules to build and publish the site.  The
+bibliography of my <a href="__p/publications.html">publications</a> is
+generated from <a href="__p/bandali.bib"><code>bandali.bib</code></a>
+using <a href="https://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/">bibtex2html</a>,
+and further processed and put together using GNU sed and
+another <code>GNUmakefile</code>.  The git repository containing all
+the sources used to build this site are available
+<a href="https://git.shemshak.org/~bandali/site">here</a>.</p>
