Happy ! To kick off 2026, I've revisited all the new software launches I covered in my weekly in 2025 and have published a listing of them below for anyone new to my content.

(The list starts in February due to a revamped tracking process I implemented earlier this year.)

Here are open-source web frameworks available for different programming languages 😎👇

Reminder for , , and other programming types. You have now passed the last point to push to production for 2025. Pushing to production now means you risk debugging your fixes next week sat in your childhood bedroom, on dodgy WiFi, while your uncle makes rude and sexist remarks with your partner downstairs. Don't risk it. Your changes can wait until 2026.

Heroku makes sense until your app grows and you hit specific limitations. Many successful companies run on it for years before those constraints become a problem. But when they do, some teams opt for Kubernetes. We wrote a guide on the tradeoffs:

New blog post: Hosting a Static Blog on FreeBSD with Bastille Jails

A deep dive into my self-hosting setup:

  • FreeBSD 15.0 with securelevel 2
  • Bastille jails for isolation (Caddy, Nginx, deployment gateway)
  • PF firewall with strict NAT/RDR rules
  • CI/CD via Forgejo Actions with rrsync-restricted deployments
  • nullfs mounts for zero-copy file sharing between jails

The "transporter pattern" keeps the blog jail unexposed while enabling automated deploys. Jails remain the most elegant isolation mechanism around.
