libjpeg-turbo
SIMD-accelerated libjpeg-compatible JPEG codec library
libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON, AltiVec) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86, x86-64, ARM, and PowerPC systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-6x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal. On other types of systems, libjpeg-turbo can still outperform libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue of its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines. In many cases, the performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary high-speed JPEG codecs. libjpeg-turbo implements both the traditional libjpeg API as well as the less powerful but more straightforward TurboJPEG API. libjpeg-turbo also features colorspace extensions that allow it to compress from/decompress to 32-bit and big-endian pixel buffers (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), as well as a full-featured Java interface. -

FreeRDP
FreeRDP is a free remote desktop protocol library and clients
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license. Enjoy the freedom of using your software wherever you want, the way you want it, in a world where interoperability can finally liberate your computing experience. The nightly builds are installed into /opt/freerdp-nightly and can be installed in parallel with the distributions regular freerdp package. Network tracing of RDP can be quite a challenge due to a number of factors such as encryption, compression, and the fact that these protocol features cannot always be disabled or worked around. One of the easiest way of decrypting RDP traffic is to configure the server with a self-signed certificate for which the private key is known, and then use this certificate with a network tracing tool to automatically decrypt the packets. -

hosts
Consolidate and extend hosts files from several well-curated sources
Consolidating and extending hosts files from several well-curated sources. You can optionally pick extensions to block pornography, social media, and other categories. The unified hosts file is optionally extensible. Extensions are used to include domains by category. Currently, we offer the following categories: fakenews, social, gambling, and porn. Extensions are optional, and can be combined in various ways with the base hosts file. The combined products are stored in the alternates folder. Data for extensions are stored in the extensions folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find the data for fakenews, social, gambling, and porn extension data that we maintain and provide for you. Create an optional blacklist file. The contents of this file (containing a listing of additional domains in hosts file format) are appended to the unified hosts file during the update process. A sample blacklist is included, and may be modified as you need. -

Shaderc
A collection of tools, libraries, and tests for Vulkan shader
Shaderc is a collection of tools and libraries for compiling shaders—small programs that run on GPUs—into SPIR-V, the intermediate representation used by the Vulkan graphics API. It provides both a command-line tool (glslc) and a C/C++ library (libshaderc) that wrap the functionality of glslang (the Khronos reference compiler for GLSL) and SPIRV-Tools to deliver a modern, scriptable, and efficient shader compilation workflow. The glslc compiler offers a GCC/Clang-like interface for building GLSL and HLSL shaders, making it easy to integrate into existing build systems. Meanwhile, libshaderc exposes a stable API that allows developers to programmatically compile shader strings into SPIR-V modules within graphics engines and tools. Shaderc supports advanced features such as file inclusion (#include), concurrency, and cross-platform builds, and it maintains backward compatibility for long-term projects. -

Calibre-Web Automated
Calibre-Web but Automated and with tons of New Features
Calibre-Web-Automated (CWA) is an all-in-one, self-hosted solution for managing an ebook library that combines the modern, lightweight web UI style of Calibre-Web with the deeper tooling and conversion capabilities associated with Calibre. The goal is to reduce the common “two-service” setup where users run Calibre-Web for browsing and Calibre separately for conversions, metadata fixes, and automation, by packaging those workflows together in a single system. CWA keeps the familiar strengths of Calibre-Web, like a responsive interface, OPDS feeds for e-readers, and strong user/permission management, while layering in extensive automation features that handle ingest, conversion, metadata enforcement, and library organization with less manual effort. It also expands authentication options (including modern OAuth/OIDC flows) and adds quality-of-life improvements such as enhanced search/filtering, multi-language UI support, and better device-centric workflows for sending to e-readers. -

Ionicons
Hand-crafted icons built by Ionic for web apps
Premium designed icons for use in web, iOS, Android, and desktop apps. Support for SVG and web font. Completely open source, MIT licensed and built by Ionic. Ionicons is a completely open-source icon set with 1,300 icons crafted for web, iOS, Android, and desktop apps. Ionicons was made for Ionic Framework, a cross-platform hybrid and Progressive Web App framework. The Ionicons Web Component is an easy and performant way to use Ionicons in your app. The component will dynamically load an SVG for each icon, so your app is only requesting the icons that you need. Also note that only visible icons are loaded, and icons which are "below the fold" and hidden from the user's view do not make fetch requests for the svg resource. If you're using Ionic Framework, Ionicons is packaged by default, so no installation is necessary.
