As much as I align myself philosophically to most things this project stands for, I wouldn't trust myself to write public facing web applications in C. The same philosophy could still be held up while replacing the last components with a less dangerous language like Rust(with the trade off of developing complexity, and possibly giving up a bit of control). OpenBSD as a base operating system, running relayd and httpd to face the hostile web proxying for efficient services written in Rust would be my ideal choice. SQLite for most simple data store needs, and Postgres if the data management gets big enough that it might spill to another machine.
