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. -

Replica Dataset
High-fidelity indoor 3D dataset for AI simulation and robotics
Replica Dataset is a high-quality 3D dataset of realistic indoor environments designed to advance research in computer vision, robotics, and embodied AI. Developed by Facebook Research (now Meta AI), it features accurate geometric reconstructions, high-resolution and high dynamic range textures, and comprehensive semantic annotations. Each environment contains detailed models of real-world spaces, including rooms, furniture, glass, and mirror surfaces. The dataset also provides semantic and instance segmentations, planar decomposition, and navigation meshes, making it highly suitable for simulation, visual perception, and autonomous navigation tasks. Replica integrates seamlessly with AI Habitat, Meta’s framework for embodied AI training, enabling large-scale agent simulation and photorealistic rendering for reinforcement learning and robotics. Researchers can use Replica’s ReplicaViewer to interactively explore the 3D scenes. -

ziwei-doushu
Chinese astrology chart calculation engine
Ziwei Doushu is an open-source Chinese astrology chart calculation engine based on the traditional Zi Wei Dou Shu system and Ni Haixia's Tian Ji teachings. It generates birth charts using calendar calculations, star placements, and traditional astrological rules. The software includes the Four Transformations system, chart pattern recognition, and a knowledge base of classical interpretations. Birthplace coordinates and historical daylight saving adjustments support true solar time calculations. Its extensive interpretation dataset covers hundreds of thousands of chart combinations across 13 analytical dimensions. Users can explore charts through a Next.js demonstration interface and access historical reference materials. The project provides reusable algorithms and structured data for developers researching traditional Chinese divination systems. -

AnyPS5
Tool for automatic PS5 executables porting to Linux and Windows
AnyPS5 is an experimental compatibility project for automatically porting PlayStation 5 executables to Linux and Windows. Instead of emulating an entire console, it relinks executables into native target formats and supplies replacement implementations for required system libraries. The project includes a shader recompiler that can produce SPIR-V for Vulkan-based graphics workflows. Unsupported conditions are deliberately surfaced as runtime errors rather than silently ignored. SDL-compatible game controllers are supported, while keyboard and mouse mappings can be configured separately. The relinker uses C++20 and targets portability across host compilers where practical. AnyPS5 is intended for interoperability, preservation, and research using legally obtained software. -

Hacker Scripts
Based on a true story
Hacker Scripts is a cheeky collection of small automation scripts and language ports collected under the tagline “Based on a true story.” The repository gathers playful utilities (originally shell and Ruby scripts) that automate short, real-world tasks — for example, sending a quick “late at work” text when SSH sessions are active, firing off an automated “I’m sick / working from home” email on certain mornings, or even talking to a networked coffee machine to start brewing at precisely the right moment. The README explains the origin story and highlights several canonical scripts and provides usage notes such as required environment variables and cron examples for scheduling. Contributors have provided implementations and ports in many languages and folders (shell, Ruby, Python, Node, Perl, PowerShell, Go, Java, etc.), and the project explicitly welcomes pull requests that add additional language implementations. -

Octave Forge
A collection of packages providing extra functionality for GNU Octave
Octave Forge is a central location for collaborative development of packages for GNU Octave. The Octave Forge packages expand Octave's core functionality by providing field specific features via Octave's package system. See https://octave.sourceforge.io/packages.php for a list of all available packages. GNU Octave is a high-level interpreted language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides capabilities for the numerical solution of linear and nonlinear problems, and for performing other numerical experiments. It also provides extensive graphics capabilities for data visualization and manipulation. Octave is normally used through its interactive command line interface, but it can also be used to write non-interactive programs. The Octave language is quite similar to Matlab so that most programs are easily portable. Refer to https://www.octave.org for more information. -

raylib
A simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming
raylib is highly inspired by Borland BGI graphics lib and by XNA framework. Do you want to see all functions available in raylib? Check raylib cheatsheet. raylib is a programming library to enjoy videogames programming; no fancy interface, no visual helpers, no auto-debugging, just coding in the most pure spartan-programmers way. raylib has received several recognitions in the last years and many people have written about the library. Here there are the main awards received from Google and Epic Games. raylib supports multiple target platforms, it has been tested in the following platforms but, technically, any platform that supports C language and OpenGL graphics is valid for raylib or can be very easily ported to. raylib can be combined with several extra libraries for additional functionality, some of those libraries are already used internally while others are provided for user integration, most of these libraries are single-file header-only with no external dependencies. -

PHPMailer
The classic email sending library for PHP
PHPMailer – A full-featured email creation and transfer class for PHP. Support for UTF-8 content and 8bit, base64, binary, and quoted-printable encodings. SMTP authentication with LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, and XOAUTH2 mechanisms over SMTPS and SMTP+STARTTLS transports. Validates email addresses automatically. Many PHP developers need to send email from their code. The only PHP function that supports this directly is mail(). However, it does not provide any assistance for making use of popular features such as encryption, authentication, HTML messages, and attachments. Formatting email correctly is surprisingly difficult. There are myriad overlapping (and conflicting) standards, requiring tight adherence to horribly complicated formatting and encoding rules – the vast majority of code that you'll find online that uses the mail() function directly is just plain wrong, if not unsafe! -

pikepdf
A Python library for reading and writing PDF, powered by QPDF
pikepdf is a Python library allowing the creation, manipulation, and repair of PDFs. It provides a Pythonic wrapper around the C++ PDF content transformation library, QPDF. Python + QPDF = “py” + “qpdf” = “pyqpdf”, which looks like a dyslexia test and is no fun to type. But say “pyqpdf” out loud, and it sounds like “pikepdf”. pikepdf is a library intended for developers who want to create, manipulate, parse, repair, and abuse the PDF format. It supports reading and write PDFs, including creating from scratch. Thanks to QPDF, it supports linearizing PDFs and access to encrypted PDFs. -
