We want, as much as possible, to focus on one tool solving one problem, with as many tools as possible to cover our surface. Also, we strive to keep our tools self-hosted for reasons in our [design principles](./Policies/Design Principles.md). These lists are not 100% comprehensive -- generic, common parts like Ethernet cables or system libraries aren't listed as they're easily replaced by competent staff.

See our design principles for our selected development languages as well.

# Self-written solutions
_NOTE_: These solutions are chosen very, very carefully. We write them either for educational reasons or because they fill a very specific role unique to the AniNIX. All of these are candidates to be replaced with upstream tools.

## Security
In the AAA model, authorization is delegated to each individual application consuming the authentication and auditing.
