Computers
-My main computer is a -soon-to-be-librebooted -ThinkPad X200. This is the machine I use the most in or out the -house. I also own and occasionally use a Dell XPS 15 more as a -“Desktop”, and a ThinkPad X220T tablet I use when reading -(and annotating) research papers.

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, -which I use for some heavier computations every now and -again.
+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 distros
-I've used a large number of GNU/Linux distributions throughout the
-years, but as of late, my favourite distros are
-Trisquel,
-Guix System, and
-Debian (with no contrib
or
-non-free
). I mostly use the
-GNU Linux-libre kernel.
-Guix System comes with GNU Linux-libre out of the box, and on
-Debian-based distros I install it from jxself's
-APT repository.
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.

-Cell phone
-I have an old Nexus 5 I reluctantly use from time to time. It runs -LineageOS+microG without GApps. Sadly it still requires some blobs -for functioning. I can't wait for lxo's -0G to become a -reality fast enough. -:-)
+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.
