"This web page is being served by a completely home-built computer: Bill Buzbee's Magic-1 HomebrewCPU. Magic-1 doesn't use an off-the-shelf CPU. Instead, its custom CPU is built out of ~200 74 series TTL chips."
"Magic-1 is running a new port of Minix 2.0.4, compiled with a retargeted LCC portable C compiler. The physical connection to the internet is done using a native interface based on Wiznet's w5300 TCP/IP stack."
While I hate to condone using TTL rather than CMOS, this is extremely cool!
The CPU is documented at https://homebrewcpu.com/ https://homebrewcpu.com/. Unfortunately the TCP/IP information was only posted on Google Plus, which has now been memory-holed by Google.
There's a clone by Aidil Jazmi documented at https://www.aidilj.com/homemadecpu/ https://www.aidilj.com/homemadecpu/.
