GitHub - AonCyberLabs/EvilAbigail: Automated Linux evil maid attack

Very interesting, circumventing encrypted disks even from turned off systems by having USB/CD boot enabled.
This program automatically exploits a system and puts it on its (bad) way.

GitHub - typst/typst: A new markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn.

A new markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn.

This is very exciting. It actually allows some fairly advanced constructs and environments but keeps its (basic) syntax at a similarly simple level such as markdown.

It even has a 'code mode' in which you can call arbitrary expressions and pass arguments just doing #myfunc(myargument:true, another: 12). And those are then programmed in typst language (which I have not looked into yet). And even most basic markup is done in those so they are definitely powerful!

Basically wants to be LaTeX 2.0-ish. Does not yet have the same advanced page-orphan algorithms etc however. Can be used in quarto from 1.4 as markup language!

GitHub - mutschler/mt: yet another media thumber. Generate Video Contat Sheets easily

Simple video thumbnailing program - pretty fast and efficient, has lots of cmdline options but works 'good enough' by just invoking it.

Uses ffmpeg under the hood.
