Science based practices for a meaningful life
An open-source guide to help you write better command-line programs, taking traditional UNIX principles and updating them for the modern day.
Long, in-depth and very fascinating. I think everyone can take something useful away from this.
A full open source reimplementation of Zero Hour. Impressively far along and intends to be cross-platform in the future but Windows only for now.
Open source reimplementation of the SAGE engine (C&C Generals, Zero Hour, LOTR BFME, etc).
Early early stages, not playable yet and only supporting windows for now unfortunately. But could be good to keep an eye on over the long term.
Another opensage implementation is here which is even less far along and has fewer eyes on it, but compiles on Windows, Mac and Linux.
Command the forces of The Project in a battle to rebuild the world after mankind has been nearly destroyed by nuclear missiles. A 100% free and open source real-time strategy game for Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD+ - Warzone2100/warzone2100
Open source C&C Red Alert implementation!
Open source tower defense!
A Victoria2 recreation as open source framework.
Intends to stay very close to the feeling of playing Vic2 but still undertakes slight changes.
Also provides the Historical Project Mod for itself here.
Overall looks really good and quite far along in development!
A Victoria2-alike 'map game' and RTS (grand) strategy. Seems relatively unfinished in its current state?
Have not dug deep into it at all yet.
Spiritual successor to the base16 flavours theme manager. Works almost the same way but can not build themes on its own.
Uses the 'tinted-theming' ecosystem instead of the chriskempson base16 one - it seems to be built a little more logically and less haphazardly but in the end provides basically the same functionality.
FOSS clone to Github gist. Allows hosting any kind of code snippets - looks very similar to current github gists.
Nicely allows you to set up oauth2 logins from gitea, github, gitlab and openid!
Instantly convert any python cli programme made with click into a simple web frontend.
Design is not amazing but it is done in like 30 seconds and you have a frontend.
Wow!
isync/mbsync and offlineimap alternative. Looks pretty good and has a simple enough config!
At the moment unfortunately no way to 'include' things in the config file that I can see,
so no way to implement an externally sourced username/password style.
Learn how to rename Linux users and move their home directories to a new path, as well as renaming their primary group and UID using usermod and groupmod.
Since I always forget, this simply lists the three commands in order with terse explanation.
Many good suggestions for freecad tutorials, including Joko Engineering and Ha Gei, thehardwareguy, dr vax, ..
Inject javascript into any running process (or python, or golang, or any of a bunch of other langauge bindings).
Can be used to hook into processes, run functions, send and receive messages, and a bunch more.
Essentially process injection on steroids - super cool.
It seems to even be able to inject itself to processes on other devices running connected to the machine? Not entirely sure how to implement but take a look at frida-ps
ios example.
Command line csv viewer. (Less but for csv files)
Curious exactly what happens when you run a program on your computer? Learn how multiprocessing works, what system calls really are, how computers manage memory with hardware interrupts, and how Linux loads executables.
A really nice delve into CPU inner workings, especially system calls and hardware interrupts are an interesting read.
Alternative to mermaid, plantuml, graphviz. Can be used in quarto.
Is a single golang cli binary at the core which I much (much) prefer to the javascript-dependent client-side nature of mermaid.
Otherwise, the DSL looks competent and fairly descriptive.
Supports displaying markdown, code, images, icons, or latex formulas in the diagrams.
Could be a good choice for quick diagrams!
