Many good suggestions for freecad tutorials, including Joko Engineering and Ha Gei, thehardwareguy, dr vax, ..

This article selects 100 TUI apps that largely reflects software our volunteers use as their daily drivers. Free and open source.
(Mostly TUI software, with some really interesting and lesser known software)

The Crystal Programming Language.

An interesting mix of ruby-ish syntax, static type checking and compilation, with the ability to create C-bindings. Looks like a neat little language!

:love_letter: A beautiful, fast and fully open source mail client for Mac, Windows and Linux.

Probably the best free mail client for people that either come from e.g. Outlook or just wanna have something to read mail and don't care what it is.

May be the first dotfile manager to move me away from my beloved GNU stow setup -

• it does everything stow does (in fact, you can migrate without changing your repo),
• but it also does templating of files (amazing if some program has to change its config files every now and again)
• plus it allows different deployment targets with config-merging and multiple includes (e.g. you can have a modular graphics, wm and so on setup and enable/disable anything based on deploying to Win/Linux/Mac)

Seems powerful and since it is contained in a single rust binary we can also quickly bootstrap with a simple script in the beginning.

Put in your account information for 2 (or more) lemmy accounts and it will migrate all your subscribed communities from account A to account B (and C and D and...). Neat! (and necessary atm since lemmy does not have this feature on its own)

A fork of a pretty sweet ChatGPT plugin for neovim which seeks to make it work in an improved way with FOSS versions of GPT trained LLMs. Currently still unusable since it takes too long to generate output on most machines but with improvements will signify a way to use LLMs while staying FOSS and ideally also privacy-aware and offline.

An alternative frontend for stackoverflow which is simpler, less rich and more focused presentation of question and answer format

Watch YouTube from the comfort of your terminal. (Well, technically opens an mpv/mplayer instance to display the actual video).

Can also do only audio so you stream audio through your terminal in the background.

Works without any api keys and can search individual content, playlists, create local playlists, downloads videos and more.
Really nice piece of software!

Use chatbot models from your own system without having to interact with e.g. the OpenAI API.

Provides a litany of different chat bots, some having almost the same quality of output as ChatGPT3.5 (as of now).

States it does not require a GPU to work well.

Host your own ChatGPT-like AI API. With this you could plug your self-hosted version into any application (that allows plugging custom API URLs) and off you go with whatever model you chose!

I have no idea about the performance with/without GPU.

A guide for funding open source - very WIP. Contribute to wiki-me/open_source_funding_guide development by creating an account on GitHub.

A useful early warning signal computing library which can detect, calculate and notify you of bifurcations in time series.

The forked (in 2016) version of Asesprite, kept with a copyleft license and updated continually.
Does not reach feature parity with the mother program as far as I know, but should be way enough for some simple/intermediate pixel art.

Jupyter notebooks in the terminal. Run complete notebooks from your commandline for exploratory data analysis, before you use something like quarto for more permanent rendering. Seems very neat.

An oprn source stronghold 1 -like made with LÖVE

Remote desktop software that is open source. Really nice alternative to teamviewer, splashtop, remmina and other RDP implementations.

A vim-inspired browser, just like vimb, pentadactyl, qutebrowser and the others. This one is build on electron in JS, so runs chromium under the hood.

It seems a little less 'bendable' than qutebrowser (with its python configuration and userscript scripting possibilities) but has some nice ideas with its modes especially: Entering the 'url' line you go into explore mode so you can have all kinds of settings and bindings apply in this mode only (as opposed to it being the same as command mode in qutebrowser for example); and especially the 'pointer' mode which mimics you using a mouse in a grid for those web pages which just absolutely refuse to work with key-binds since they feel too modern for such trivialities.

A guide to a full-featured modern desktop FreeBSD installation.

An impressive writeup going over building out a functional desktop under BSD. Might be a bit long in the tooth today (last updated around 2017) and relying on X11, but otherwise very informative.

Write your notes using handwriting but be able to still use the basic features provided by a word processor: insert text (with automatic paragraph reflowing), delete text or lines, move text, undo and redo, insert links, bookmarks and a table of contents.

Seems really inventive and quite nicely designed as a proof-of-concept. I am not sure how well it would work for larger projects or over longer spans of time but definitely interesting!
