Instead of a regularly-scheduled stream this week, we'll try out a competition of coolest/funniest open-source projects that you have recently worked on!
There will be a special guest judge who chooses the winner, and the winner will receive €/$100 of free credits.

Amazing uptime idea: 3-N machines connected in an ouroboros daisy chain via websocket forwarding a single message continuously in a circle. There should be a canary machine, who detects if the message hasn't come in a while, therefore one or more of the machines is down. Study this carefully

Nothing better than writing 210 lines of Go code to generate... 36 lines of YAML (actually 28 if you ignore the big comment saying what was generated as an easier to read table..)

use-case requires a lot of API fetching, that can either happen server-side or client-side, and if the latter then users won't have to refresh page

New frontend project; wisdom of the crowd needed.
Requirements: gotta be easy to pick up by any frontend dev.
Narrowed it down to either react, vanillajs, or solidjs.

Did you know that because of that little bit of host/node overhead per VPS, it's more efficient to make big cloud servers instead of many smaller service-separated ones?

Of course go ahead and separate servers however you like, (optimizing for price first, right?), but just fyi for fun
