    Featureless Linux Library

    Featureless Linux Library

    Linux Library on top of Libc focusing on long term support.

    When computer power increases, programmers generally add more "features", thus making any performance gains in new hardware negligible. This project is an attempt to develop a library above libc that breaks out of this terrible loop.

    Termux packages

    Termux packages

    A build system and primary set of packages for Termux

    Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app that works directly with no rooting or setup required. A minimal base system is installed automatically - additional packages are available using the APT package manager. Access remote servers using the ssh client from OpenSSH. Termux combines standard packages with accurate terminal emulation in a beautiful open source solution. Take your pick between Bash, fish or Zsh and nano, Emacs or Vim. Grep through your SMS inbox. Access API endpoints with curl and use rsync to store backups of your contact list on a remote server. Install what you want through the APT package management system known from Debian and Ubuntu GNU/Linux. Why not start with installing Git and syncing your dotfiles? Have you ever sat on a bus and wondered exactly which arguments tar accepts? Packages available in Termux are the same as those on Mac and Linux, install man pages on your phone and read them in one session.

    A modern cmake starter project for C++ with a complete build lifecycle

    A modern cmake starter project for C++ with a complete build lifecycle, testing, dependency management, etc. Portable across Linux, OS X and Windows. Have you ever found yourself spending countless hours trying to figure out how to start a professional C++ project with unit tests, a robust dev workflow, change logs, code coverage, linting, formatting...? The C++ ecosystem is getting better but is still very far away from other ecosystems such as JavaScript, or even Rust. It's certainly easy to use CMake, a compiler and vscode to start a hello world project, but as soon as you start having multiple modules, with third party dependencies, testing, coverage, and other development things that a professional quality project needs, you start wasting hours and hours troubleshooting and configuring until you make it work. This starter project solves most of your problems, using the best practices for C++ development and modern CMake and allows you to get started in minutes rather than days.
