Get The Century Stack
All one hundred repos from all ten parts of the series in one field guide. The 10 newest picks (repos #91-#100) kill the AI subscriptions: Upscayl cancels Topaz Gigapixel ($29/mo, now subscription-only), whisper.cpp cancels Rev ($29.99/mo — a 93-second file transcribes in 1.7s on an M4 Pro), ACE-Step 1.5 cancels Suno Pro, InvokeAI cancels Midjourney (the one local image tool still actively maintained), Vane (ex-Perplexica) cancels Perplexity Pro with bundled SearxNG search, Jan cancels ChatGPT Plus with a 100% offline desktop app, Wan 2.2 cancels Runway Pro with open-weights video on your own GPU, Cline cancels Cursor Pro from inside VS Code, exo cancels the $5,300 bigger-machine upgrade by clustering the Macs you already own, and Ollama — repo #100 — kills the API meter and powers Jan, Vane and Cline in one install. Every card carries stars, license, the exact install line, a hardware tier (the Tier 1/2/3 table tells you what your laptop can honestly run), and the honest catch — self-benchmark claims, API-only newer versions, and RAM ceilings stated plainly. Plus reference tables of the first 90 repos from Parts 1-9 and the century checklist. The 8 subscription villains in Part 10 alone add up to ~$2,328/yr, and the ten picks carry 528,000+ GitHub stars combined.
