Here's the software I use. I've recently started to reduce my use of <abbr title="Textual User Interfaces">TUIs</abbr> in favor of <abbr title="Command Line Interfaces">CLIs</abbr> for a variety of reasons. When possible, I try to use lightweight programs that can run on any machine, from a single-board computer to a giant desktop. I don't ever want to feel like I need to upgrade my hardware to do the same tasks as before: hardware upgrades should only be justified by my use-cases significantly changing, existing hardware being broken beyond repair, or upstream abandonment of security patches.[^1]

Email sucks but it's the only lightweight, open, federated protocol for subject-delimited threaded discussions that meets my needs. It also makes working with open-source projects easier: it gives me one place to look for patches and issues so I don't have to open GitHub, Codeberg, GitLab, Sourcehut, etc. in different tabs and check each one.[^2]

Statically linked against zlib-ng, BoringSSL, PCRE2 (non-JIT), and musl libc; patched for dynamic TLS records, basic externally-managed OCSP-stapling support, static HPACK compression, removing server signatures, and enabling dark mode on in-binary error pages. I recommend most people use Caddy instead of Nginx. The only benefits of Nginx are certain modules providing application-server capabilities, the ability to re-load all configs with zero downtime, better requests-per-second on limited hardware (although most sites won't need to handle more than a few hundred requests per second, which Caddy can handle *easily*), and kernel-accelerated TLS for maximizing bandwidth (usually unnecessary).
