+ <h3>Computers</h3>
+ <section>
+ <p>
+ My main computer is a
+ soon-to-be-<a href="https://libreboot.org">librebooted</a>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ I also have the privilege of having access to a fleet of
+ beefy servers through our school’s
+ <a href="https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/">Computer Science Club</a>,
+ which I use for some heavier computations every now and
+ again.
+ </p>
+
+ <h4>GNU/Linux distros</h4>
+ <p>
+ I’ve used a large number of GNU/Linux distributions
+ throughout the years, but as of late, my favourite distros
+ are
+ <a href="https://guix.gnu.org">Guix System</a>,
+ <a href="https://trisquel.info">Trisquel</a>, and
+ <a href="https://www.debian.org">Debian</a> (with no
+ <code>contrib</code> or <code>nonfree</code>). I’m also
+ hoping to find some free time to help with the
+ <a href="https://lists.nongnu.org/r/gnewsense-dev/2019-08/msg00001.html">rebooting</a>
+ of <a href="http://www.gnewsense.org">gNewSense</a>.
+ I mostly use the
+ <a href="https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">Linux-libre</a>
+ kernel. Guix System comes with Linux-libre by default,
+ and on Debian-based distros I install it from jxself’s
+ <a href="https://jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.
+ </p>
+
+ <h4>Actual computing</h4>
+ <p>
+ I spend most of my time inside
+ <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a>.

+ <h3>Cell phone</h3>
+ <section>
+ <p>
+ 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
+ <a href="https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/blogs/lxo/pub/0G">0G</a>
+ to become a reality fast enough :)
