HN comment orderI'm happy this exists and I scan it every time it is posted. These days I feel like there is more value in curation than an exhaustive list.. There is just too much on here and a lot of it not of super great quality for me to want to take the time to try a lot of things.. I would probably get more value out of a list that had the best overall 1 or 2 from each category…
For some items it outsources to (or recommends you check in addition to the items it lists) awesome-sysadmin[1], which also seems very cool. 1: https://github.com/awesome-foss/awesome-sysadmin
Awesome list! I've been getting more interested in self-hosted software recently and have created a few projects in the space. Budgeting/expense tracking: https://github.com/inoda/ontrack Journaling: https://github.com/inoda/journal Keeping free Heroku dynos awake: https://github.com/inoda/heroku-pinger (which I use for my personal instances of the above applications)
