How this site is built

kobel.fyi is built using a refurbished Thinkpad T480s running CachyOS, written in Kate in pure HTML & CSS by hand. The server is my_webapp (for the HTTP-Web), gemserv (for Geminispace) and PieFed (for Fediverse publishing) running on YunoHost on a repurposed HP ProDesk 400 G4 Mini-PC in my home.
