etherdfs
an ethernet-based file system for DOS
EtherDFS is an 'installable filesystem' TSR for DOS. It maps a drive from a remote computer (typically Linux-based) to a local drive letter, using raw ethernet frames to communicate. For years, I was using LapLink to transfer files between my various "retro" computers. It works, yes, but it's also annoyingly slow and requires constant attention. One day I thought, "Wouldn't it be amazing if all my PCs could share a common network drive, similarly to how NFS operates in the *nix world?". This day EtherDFS was born. I clearly didn't invent anything - the concept has been around almost as long as the first IBM PC, and several commercial products addressed that need in the past. I am not aware, however, of any free and open-source solution. -

Jackett
API Support for your favorite torrent trackers
Jackett works as a proxy server, it translates queries from apps (Sonarr, Radarr, SickRage, CouchPotato, Mylar3, Lidarr, DuckieTV, qBittorrent, Nefarious, etc.) into tracker-site-specific HTTP queries, parses the HTML or JSON response, and then sends results back to the requesting software. This allows for getting recent uploads (like RSS) and performing searches. Jackett is a single repository of maintained indexer scraping & translation logic, removing the burden from other apps. Trackers marked with (invite needed) have no active maintainer and may be missing features or be broken. If your client supports multiple feeds it's recommended to add each indexer directly instead of using all indexers. Using the all indexer has no advantages (besides reduced management overhead). We recommend you install Jackett as a Windows service using the supplied installer. You may also download the zipped version if you would like to configure everything manually. -
It protects your internal resources such as behind-the-firewall applications, teams, and devices.

Eris
A NodeJS Discord library
A Node.js wrapper for interfacing with Discord. You will need NodeJS 10.4+. If you need voice support you will also need Python 2.7 and a C++ compiler. Create a directory for your bot, and change to that directory in your command line. If you want to be more updated (at the expense of stability), you can install the beta builds instead. Eris supports a few optional libraries that could potentially improve bot performance but may require additional dependencies. If you want Eris to use any of these packages, install them in the same directory as Eris, and Eris will automatically use them. You can find more examples on the GitHub repo. The rest of the docs will help you with using the various functions of the library. Have fun! -

JDA
Java wrapper for the popular chat & VOIP service
JDA strives to provide a clean and full wrapping of the Discord REST api and its Websocket-Events for Java. This library is a helpful tool that provides the functionality to create a discord bot in java. Discord is currently prohibiting the creation and usage of automated client accounts (AccountType.CLIENT). We have officially dropped support for client login as of version 4.2.0! Note that JDA is not a good tool to build a custom discord client as it loads all servers/guilds on startup, unlike a client which does this via lazy loading instead. If you need a bot, use a bot account from the Application Dashboard. Creating the JDA Object is done via the JDABuilder class. After setting the token and other options via setters, the JDA Object is then created by calling the build() method. When build() returns, JDA might not have finished starting up. However, you can use await ready() on the JDA object to ensure that the entire cache is loaded before proceeding. -

Open Source Communications Software Guide
Open source communications software is software that allows people to communicate and collaborate over the Internet. It is free and open to anyone who wishes to use it. It typically includes features such as real-time chat, file sharing, video conferencing, and collaboration tools.
Open source communication software offers numerous advantages over traditional packaged programs, including cost savings, customization capabilities, and security measures. The primary benefit of open source communication software is that it can be adapted to fit an organization’s individual needs or preferences without having to pay for licensing fees or support contracts. Additionally, because the source code for this type of program is available freely online, developers can customize the underlying programming code in order to increase its functionality or tailor it specifically for their particular needs. Furthermore, many open source programs are subject to rigorous testing by volunteer developers prior to release, meaning users can enjoy a degree of confidence in the program’s ability to operate reliably and securely when using it online.
Lastly, from a business standpoint one of the biggest selling points of using open source communication software is that most implementations come free of charge meaning businesses do not have costly licensing fees associated with their use which helps keep operating costs low while still providing all the functionality they need for their business operations.
