ollama
Get up and running with Kimi-K2.6, GLM-5.1, MiniMax, DeepSeek, gpt-oss, Qwen, Gemma and other models.
Project mention: Flat Chat Threads Suck for Reading Books. So I Built a Local-First AI Tree Companion. | dev.to | 2026-06-08Fully offline: Point it at Ollama or LM Studio. Zero cost, nothing leaves your network.
-
Go is an open-source, statically typed, compiled language designed at Google for simplicity, reliability, and efficiency. It ships with a rich standard library, first-class concurrency primitives (goroutines and channels), and produces single, statically-linked binaries — making it an excellent fit for microservices and containerised workloads.

Project mention: Scarab Diagnostic Suite Field Test #013: Kubernetes Watch Cache Critical-Section Boundary | dev.to | 2026-06-06
-
frp
A fast reverse proxy to help you expose a local server behind a NAT or firewall to the internet.
frp is an advanced, feature-rich reverse proxy that supports a variety of protocols and can be self-hosted.
-
Gin
Gin is a high-performance HTTP web framework written in Go. It provides a Martini-like API but with significantly better performance—up to 40 times faster—thanks to httprouter. Gin is designed for building REST APIs, web applications, and microservices.
Project mention: Go vs Rust: the only backend language debate that actually matters in 2026 | dev.to | 2026-05-14The broader ecosystem is settled too. Gin and Chi for HTTP routing, sqlc for type-safe queries, Wire for dependency injection if that’s your thing. The compiler errors are readable. Onboarding a new engineer onto a Go codebase takes days, not weeks.

Project mention: Writerdeck con Debian tty: convertir un laptop viejo en máquina de escribir | dev.to | 2026-05-23
-
Please please stop spamming up arrow to find that command you ran. Instead you can make this so much simpler with fzf.

Project mention: I got tired of setting up SSL for every side project, so I made a 60-second Docker deploy kit | dev.to | 2026-05-19
The secret is Caddy. Unlike Nginx, Caddy handles SSL automatically — it requests certificates from Let's Encrypt and renews them without any configuration. The entire reverse proxy config is 3 lines:
-
Moby
The Moby Project - a collaborative project for the container ecosystem to assemble container-based systems
There were many attempts to fix this issue by changing cgroup isolation settings using flags like --cgroupns=host etc ,but nothing worked. Similar outcomes were also obtained by other attempts like these. https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/16238
-
Project mention: EKS vs k3s on AWS for startups: cost, complexity, and when to choose each | dev.to | 2026-04-26
k3s: You run the control plane on an EC2 instance. It starts in under a minute, ships with Traefik and a working storage class, and upgrades when you decide. Nothing AWS-specific unless you want it.
-
memos
Open-source, self-hosted note-taking tool built for quick capture. Markdown-native, lightweight, and fully yours.
ObjeX currently serves as the S3 backend for our Outline and Memos instances. Both use presigned URLs and server-side uploads through the standard AWS SDKs, no special configuration needed.
-
rclone
"rsync for cloud storage" - Google Drive, S3, Dropbox, Backblaze B2, One Drive, Swift, Hubic, Wasabi, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, Azure Files, Yandex Files
While there isn't a proper Linux client, if you find yourself on a Linux box and need to sync to or from iCloud, rclone[1] works great. Just putting this out there in the hope that it might help someone. It's also (ironically given TFA) what I used to sync all my files off dropbox when I cancelled my subscription because of their misuse of root to re-add their thing to special permissions on macOs after I had removed it.[2]

[2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12463338 not trying to reopen a flame war, but for me personally, that was one of those things where a company doesn't get to do to me twice. As soon as it happened, I copied my files off and cancelled. In fact I'm there somewhere in the comments on that article saying I was going to be cancelling and I immediately did.

Gitea
Git with a cup of tea! Painless self-hosted all-in-one software development service, including Git hosting, code review, team collaboration, package registry and CI/CD
Project mention: Gitea is 10 years old, but official repo is still hosted on GitHub | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-02 -
Project mention: Global Distributed Consensus: The Missing Piece in Kubernetes | dev.to | 2026-05-04
Kubernetes runs on etcd, which uses the Raft consensus algorithm. It's a proven model for what it was designed to do: keep a single cluster's state perfectly consistent. When you create a deployment or a pod dies, every node in the cluster agrees on the new state of the world almost instantly.
-
Project mention: Fintech on Go: Signing, event loops, and replay protection without an SDK (Part 2) | dev.to | 2026-05-02
go-ethereum: official Go implementation of the Ethereum protocol. Source of TokenContract, types.SignTx, and signer types used in code snippets.
-
Project mention: GitLab Announces Workforce Reduction and End of Their Credit Values | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-11
What would you suggest as an alternative? Gitlab really sucks in my personal opinion, but what are your experiences with:
Gogs https://gogs.io/ (this IS gitea btw)
Forgejo https://forgejo.org/
Self hosted or cloud hosted. Also excluding Github because, please just fracking don't.

Download nvm-windows from https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases (get nvm-setup.exe). Install it, then open a new terminal:
-
and it gives you a Rust dependency.

Project mention: I scoped a multi-agent TUI system in January. It sat dead for 4 months. Here is the comeback. | dev.to | 2026-06-08
git clone https://github.com/in5devilinspace/tui-master-agent cd tui-master-agent uv pip install -e ".[dev]" # or pip export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-... python tui_master.py https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea

tidb
TiDB is built for agentic workloads that grow unpredictably, with ACID guarantees and native support for transactions, analytics, and vector search. No data silos. No noisy neighbors. No infrastructure ceiling.
A similar issue was also found in Tidb:
