Science based practices for a meaningful life
A super slim sudo alternative. Only a few lines of code, but configuration needs to be done in the actual header file (suckless-like).
Brings integration with rdoedit (similar to sudoedit) for file editing.
Another sudo replacement utility, focusing on being an alternative to su
specifically (hence, 'simple su').
Can't say much about it since I haven't used it a lot but always happy with simple, open alternatives.
Simpler alternative to sudo - allegedly more secure through less attack surface (though also fewer eyes on it than sudo).
Originally comes from OpenBSD but made to run on a variety of unixy systems.
Replicates actual cities in minecraft. Pretty mind-blowing but also logical if you think about it - neat!

A universal app for OpenStreetMap.
In my view one of the best web offerings for openstreetmap (now that qwant maps is no more). Has super functional search, POI showing, integrated with weather services and a type of streetview.
Seems still in its initial phase and is a little rought around the edges here and there but could be one of the premium offerings for OSM on the web.
Pretty nice new-ish openstreetmap web implementation, can be used to create local meeting points and more.
Explicitly excludes showing details about many commercial chains (e.g. most supermarkets) because it is focused on local- an fair- places, those whose focus is to make a living not profit.
This of course hugely impacts its daily driver usefulness but also provides a nice alternative view on places.
A fully-featured OpenStreetMap-based map where markers and lines can be added with live collaboration.
Its search only supports specific 'points' (i.e. nodes) for now, but it has a nice POI function where you can filter by poi category and it shows you all the points around that may interest you for the current map tiles.
A curated list of blogs by (rough) topic.
Could ime be improved by adding a single tag or two to each entry to categorize a little further than just 'technology' for most of them.
Runs a lightweight Nextcloud-like Notes Server. Made for the Quillnote/Quillpad App - https://qosp.org/ OR https://github.com/quillpad/quillpad.
Emulates Nextcloud notes as a server and runs an SQLite DB which you can connect to from other users as well - neat both as a lightweight alternative and a proof of concept.
JetBird - An unofficial, FLOSS, native Android NetBird client built with privacy in mind
Taking you through Selection queries, predicates, parameterized queries, aggregations, transformations for datalog, an SQL-like database query language.
Infrared timing database sorted by manufacturers, super useful
Similar to nodered, a visual-editor for connecting different services and APIs. More focused on service-to-service connections in the cloud (i.e. more Zapier than node-red). Can even make use of AI endpoints.
Allows more advanced workflows between services to be created but carries slightly less focus on maker-related IOT devices. Good introduction and feature overview (between Home Automation, NodeRed and this) by Andreas Spiess.
Lastly, not a true OSI open source license, but contains anti-competitive commercial prohibitions. I am okay with it but YMMV.
A 'simple' (i.e. very powerful and complex if you get into the weeds) tool to ingest data, and later plot it out again. Creates the kind of plots that are fairly well known especially for computer science applications, when plotting network or drive reads, throughput, cpu usage and so on (e.g. in OpenMediaVault and I believe Nextcloud)
In-dev 'spreadsheet' software for image processing libvips library. Can perhaps be best understood as a non-linear image editing software akin to non-linear video editing and vfx software, especially those like Nuke and Natron.
There is an older, perhaps more feature complete (atm) version nips2.
Can be used in a way similar to imagemagick/graphicsmagick for cli image processing but also bound to a variety of programming languages.
Works way faster with big/many batch images, but seems less well known so fewer tutorials and online examples.
"ImageMagick is a powerful, open-source software suite for creating, editing, converting, and manipulating images in over 200 formats. Ideal for web developers, graphic designers, and researchers, it offers versatile tools for image processing, including batch processing, format conversion, and complex image transformations."
THE cli image processing tool - but can also be used bound from many programming language, and provides the backing software for many image editing applications.
Can rebind buttons, pair with unrecognized Bluetooth devices, change scroll direction, create custom bindings and much more
