michalsnik/pet-projects-ideas

A curated meta-list of curated lists organized by technology domain. The repository acts as a directory pointing to hundreds of specialized awesome lists covering programming languages, platforms, frameworks, and tooling. All content is community-contributed under the CC0 public domain dedication.

Awesome Python is a curated list maintained at vinta/awesome-python that groups Python frameworks, libraries, tools, and other resources into 14 categories, from AI & ML to Security and Other. The README calls it an opinionated guide rather than an exhaustive one, and points readers to a companion site, awesome-python.com, for searching and filtering entries instead of scrolling the raw file.

Awesome-Selfhosted is a community-maintained GitHub list at awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted that catalogs Free Software network-service and web-app projects meant for running on a server you control rather than someone else's cloud. Entries are grouped by category, each tagged with a license and a language or deployment option, and the project keeps proprietary alternatives on a separate Non-Free page.

trimstray/the-book-of-secret-knowledge is a highly-starred GitHub repository offering a curated collection of resources for system and network administrators, DevOps, pentesters, and security researchers, though it aims to be useful for everyone. It compiles inspiring lists, manuals, cheatsheets, blogs, hacks, one-liners, and CLI/web tools, organized into main chapters such as CLI Tools, GUI Tools, Systems/Services, Networks, Hacking/Penetration Testing, and Shell One-liners. The project emphasizes quality over quantity, welcoming contributions that are inviting, clear, not tiring, and useful, with an active RSS feed for updates.
