Science based practices for a meaningful life

A fairly exciting Zotero notes plugin which makes you able to create long-form notes (with an outliner), connect individual notes through links (akin to connecting knowledge fragments in a Zettelkasten), and auto-export notes as e.g. markdown files (keeping in sync with Obsidian notes or other markdown systems).

Seems like a very nice step up from the default note management!

A powerful TUI git server which can be hosted over SSH.

Simple to configure but also very opinionated and deeply embedded in the 'charmbracelet' suite of software (using glow for md display, etc.).

If you need a quick git server, amazing. If you need a lot of deep customization, less so.

We have tea for gitea projects, gh for github and glab for gitlab as easy-to-work-with local commandline interfaces.

This one is simply specifically for forgejo instead and seeks to support a lot of the forgejo-only feature (AGit workflow, federation) that the others won't.

Solve puzzles. Learn CUDA.

Learning GPU programming ideas by solving coding puzzles step-by-step. Seems really neat, especially that it uses python so you can focus on the actual ideas instead of syntax, etc.

A video solving some of the early puzzles can be found here

An interesting series of video lessons matching programming instructions and algorithms with processor architectures and assembly equivalents.

NOT free!

An amazing introductory book for jujutsu

A personality test which seems (at least somewhat) grounded in backing science.
And open source, which is nice!

A very nice GUI client for git. Nice design and pretty functional layout - somewhat reminiscent of GitKraken

TUI for Jujutsu/jj, similar to lazygit for git.

A ESP32 + WS2812 project with a simple webserver to reponse to blink on GET requests, in a case whichs looks like a cloud.

Nice little diy project!

Tabletop Simulator-like

Tabletop Playground - TTS clone, commercial but with a wider variety of games? (claimed). Can import TTS games afaik. Games can be found here

Tabletop Club - FOSS TTS clone, not sure how far along? can not import TTS games atm

Vassal - FOSS, originally developed for tabletops afaik, older but actively developed and huge selection of modules (though still w focus on deeper/wargame-like games).

OCTGN - full game engine but I only know it from ppl playing Android Netrunner on it

Web-arenas

virtualtabletop - free, no official game art etc but works without signup!

boardgame arena - freemium, many games

boardzilla - FOSS, no signup required. Very limited selection of games currently (basically 7WondersDuel, PowerGrid and 7 others) but nice that it exists!

tabletopia - a huge selection (2500+?) but very freemium, I think moreso than bga

Mostly - FOSS but mostly 'classic' card games (Doppelkopf, Bridge, Skat, ...)

Voice control: transform various alphabet's and morphemes (graphemes?) into actions on the pc.

Fun demonstration here: https://numenvoice.org/

Can for example translate 'terminate' into closing a window, or 'west' into focusing left tile in a tiling wm, or 'yes' into return on the terminal.

Seems fun for regular use but really useful for those who can not regularly use their hands to type for whatever reason.

Amazing list of digital versions of boardgames.

PEASS - Privilege Escalation Awesome Scripts SUITE (with colors) - peass-ng/PEASS-ng

'Automatically' generate nice changelogs. Still requires manual intervention to decide what is interesting user-facing changes for the changelog and what is not when finishing features/fixes.

But the idea behind it is to run during CI and take all those changes and package them up into a nicely formatted SemVer changelog so that at that moment everything happens automated.

Also nice to combine with a release automation, e.g. goreleaser, which can then take just the new changes to add to each release.

Specifically intended to read and annotate scientific papers PDFs, with note functionality, snapshotting, LaTeX (SyncTeX, BibDesk, PDFSync) integration, export, highlight&annotation view and more.

I don't think it will replace the more keyboard-driven sioyek for me but it is a nice alternative.

Dokumentation des OpenPLZ API Projekts - REST API for requests of German, Austrian and Swiss zip codes (Postleitzahlen), street names and municipal districts (Gemeinden).

Takes much of its data from Openstreetmap from which it compiles a full csv file for Germany here.

(Q)GIS Plugin to load German data sets, both national and for subnational county-wide datasets. Comes with many datasets for easy consumption included.
