Favorites: Software, China Mirrors, Docker Registry Mirrors, and Chrome Extensions
These are the links I open most often. The list started in 2021 and was reorganized by purpose in October 2026, adding the mirror sites, Docker registry mirrors, and self-hosting projects covered on this blog over the past two years. Each section ends with related posts that explain the setup in detail.
