+
+## Server
+* [Alpine Linux](https://alpinelinux.org/):
+ Minimalist distribution powered by
+ [BusyBox](https://www.busybox.net/) and [musl](https://musl.libc.org/).
+ It has a large-enough selection of both cutting-edge
+ and stable packages to be practical.
+* [nginx](https://nginx.org/):
+ Fast, secure and popular HTTP server,
+ and a breeze to set up.
+* [OpenSMTPD](https://opensmtpd.org/):
+ Email SMTP server by the venerable [OpenBSD](https://www.openbsd.org/) project,
+ and the only one of its kind that nails the setup experience.
+* [Dovecot](https://dovecot.org/):
+ One of the, if not *the* most popular email IMAP server.
+ And for good reason: it's fast, secure, and a pleasure to set up.
+* [Rspamd](https://www.rspamd.com/):
+ Spam filter for email.
+ To be honest, I haven't actually looked into this one much.
+ It has lots of advanced features that I barely understand,
+ and seems to be the most modern and usable spam filter out there.
+* [Zola](https://www.getzola.org/):
+ Straightforward static site generator written in Rust.
+ The only thing it's missing for me is LaTeX formula support.
+* [cgit](https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/about/):
+ JavaScript-free online Git frontend,
+ perfect for private setups.
+ If you need something more advanced like user accounts,
+ [Gitea](https://gitea.io) is a good choice too.
+* [acme.sh](https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh):
+ Straightforward tool to manage TLS certificates
+ issued by [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/).
+
+
+## Desktop
+* [Arch Linux](https://www.archlinux.org/):
+ The distribution that, for me, delivers the best cost-benefit ratio.
+ I'm not a big fan of [systemd](https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/)
+ or [glibc](https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/),
+ but the fantastic package management and the massive repositories
+ make Arch Linux unbeatable for working techies' day-to-day computing.
+* [i3](https://i3wm.org/) and [Sway](https://swaywm.org/):
+ Lightweight window managers that keep out of your way.
+ And once you go tiling, you can never go back.
+* [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/):
+ Web browsers suck.
+ This ones sucks the least, and is developed by Mozilla,
+ who created the [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) programming language,
+ and are an Internet-wide voice for privacy and security.
+ Firefox supports all the necessary modern technologies,
+ and provides an excellent curated set of add-ons.
+* [Thunderbird](https://www.thunderbird.net/):
+ Email clients suck, just like email itself.
+ This one just sucks less, since it's also made by Mozilla.
+* [Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty):
+ Simple, lightning-fast terminal emulator with
+ some extra goodies like 24-bit colours
+ and live configuration reloading.
+* [Neovim](https://neovim.io/):
+ A modernized fork of the venerable [Vim](https://www.vim.org/) text editor.
+* [pass](https://www.passwordstore.org/):
+ Password manager for techies.
+ It's simple, secure, transparent, and extensible.
+* [Anki](https://ankiweb.net/about):
+ Flashcard studying software,
+ with a big [library](https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks/) of community-made decks.
+ Frankly it's not very user-friendly, but it does the job.
+* [Veusz](https://veusz.github.io/):
+ Fanstastic plotting software,
+ and the most underrated open-source tool that I know of.
+ It gives beautiful plots, can handle *huge* data files, and,
+ because its files are just plain Python,
+ you can automatically generate plots with a bit of scripting.
+
+
+## Browser add-ons
+* [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/):
+ The best adblocker out there. It's free *and* open-source!
+
+
+## Android
+* [Aegis](https://getaegis.app/):
+ Secure open-source 2FA authenticator app.
+* [Shelter](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.typeblog.shelter/):
+ Isolates untrusted apps in an Android Work Profile.
+ Unfortunately, I'm not sure whether it's still being maintained.
+* [AnkiDroid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.ichi2.anki/):
+ Good mobile frontend for [Anki](https://ankiweb.net/about).
+
+
+## Online services
+* [Gandi](https://www.gandi.net/):
+ French domain registrar with the slogan
+ "No bullshit since 1999". They provide an honest,
+ high-quality service at a competitive price.
+* [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/):
+ Provides free TLS encryption certificates
+ to anybody who asks politely, thereby making
+ online security more accessible for small sites like this one.
