docs: Add links to Adda's repo using Den as an example #2

open opened by adda.tngl.sh targeting main

Since my testimonial lacks a repo link, this PR adds a link to my system configuration repository, both next to the testimonial and as an example in the README. If either does not suit you, feel free to say.
