  3. awesome

    ๐Ÿ˜Ž Awesome lists about all kinds of interesting topics

    Project mention: I Made a GitHub Action That Catches Broken Links Before They Reach Production | dev.to | 2026-03-07

    Last week I noticed something alarming: one of the most popular repos on GitHub โ€” sindresorhus/awesome โ€” had over 230 broken links. If a curated list maintained by thousands of contributors can't keep up with link rot, what chance does your README have?

  4. awesome-selfhosted

    A list of Free Software network services and web applications which can be hosted on your own servers

    Project mention: Should I Run Plain Docker Compose in Production in 2026? | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-05

    Sure!

    Get a few Beelink SER5 or SER9's, install Nextcloud to cover the files, document editing, communications (to save on Microsoft 365). Then you can have Gitea (and gitea actions) for your source code and building (skipping github enterprise), Harbor to host and scan your containers, frappe for HR, etc. Pretty much anything you pay enterprise rates for, you can self-host a version that will get your company from 1 to 100s with minimal extra work. If it's not on https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted, you can probably vibe code it in a couple hours.

    I just started to run a k3s cluster with an almost enterprise grade software factory and a few (light) production workloads on a single cheap minipc.

    Project mention: Learning Programming as Debt, Not Investment | dev.to | 2025-12-31
