I like reading about what platforms other sites are running on, so maybe this is interesting to someone.

Hardware

Servers from LoveServers, QuadHost, HostUS, CatalystHost and good old NearlyFreeSpeech.

Software

• Gimp and Inkscape for graphics
• PuTTY, of course
• Nano/vim because emacs is too damn huge
• A modified verison of HTMLy
• Fossil for version control
• Nginx
• Debian 8 and 7 with the dotdeb repos
