eternity4719/HowToLiveBetter: Life advice that logs what you spend, what you gain and how solid the evidence is
A Chinese guide of practical suggestions on health, money, scams and legal traps, from chronic disease and first aid to rent disputes and workplace compensation. Each entry records what you spend, what you get back and how strong the evidence is, citing only journal papers and official documents, with an online search page for quick lookups.

Niko1221/Strata: A 125B-parameter model running on one gaming GPU, faster than you can read
A one-click installer that runs Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, a 125-billion-parameter model that normally needs a server, on a single NVIDIA card with 12 to 24 GB of VRAM and 64 GB of RAM. It serves an OpenAI-compatible API on localhost, reports 60 to 95 tokens per second in its own measurements, accepts image input, and calibrates the engine to your PC.

DietrichGebert/ponytail: Stop your AI turning a small fix into a new framework
A set of instructions that asks AI coding agents to reuse existing code and question whether a new abstraction is needed. Its rules also explicitly retain validation and error handling, useful when your agent keeps making a small task unnecessarily complicated.
