Homebrew
Open-source, free package manager for Mac and Linux
Homebrew is a free and open-source package manager designed for macOS and Linux that simplifies installing and managing software from the command line. Often called “the missing package manager,” it provides tools and applications that are not included by default with the operating system. Homebrew installs packages into its own directory and safely symlinks them, keeping the system clean and organized. It uses simple commands like brew install to handle downloading, building, and updating software automatically. Under the hood, Homebrew is built on Git and Ruby, making it transparent, customizable, and easy to extend. It complements existing system tools and package managers, streamlining development and power-user workflows. -

Apache HBase
Get random, realtime read/write access to your Big Data
Use Apache HBase™ when you need random, realtime read/write access to your Big Data. This project's goal is the hosting of very large tables, billions of rows X millions of columns, atop clusters of commodity hardware. Apache HBase is an open-source, distributed, versioned, non-relational database modeled after Google's Bigtable. A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data by Chang et al. Just as Bigtable leverages the distributed data storage provided by the Google File System, Apache HBase provides Bigtable-like capabilities on top of Hadoop and HDFS. Thrift gateway and a REST-ful Web service that supports XML, Protobuf, and binary data encoding options. Support for exporting metrics via the Hadoop metrics subsystem to files or Ganglia; or via JMX. Convenient base classes for backing Hadoop MapReduce jobs with Apache HBase tables. -

nsisbi
NSISBI aims to remove the current 2GB limit found in NSIS.
NSISBI aims to remove the current 2GB limit found in NSIS. This version adds support for using a separate file for storing the install data, therefore allowing installer sizes up to a theoretical max size of 8EB (this is controlled by NSIS_CONFIG_EXTERNAL_FILE_SUPPORT, this is turned on by default). On versions before 7069-1, the compiler (makensis) is designed to run on 64 bit machines as this is the feature needed to make installers bigger than 2GB. On versions before 7208-1, source files added to the installer are limited to 2GB per file (this is controlled by NSIS_CONFIG_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT, this is turned on by default). This project is the result of several different experiments focused on relieving the 2GB limit in NSIS, so it's still a work in progress. I'll try to keep it up to date with each major NSIS release. -

SeaweedFS
Distributed storage system for blobs, objects, files, and data lake
SeaweedFS is a distributed storage system for blobs, objects, files, and data lake, to store and serve billions of files fast! Blob store has O(1) disk seek, local tiering, cloud tiering. Filer supports cross-cluster active-active replication, Kubernetes, POSIX, S3 API, encryption, Erasure Coding for warm storage, FUSE mount, Hadoop, WebDAV. SeaweedFS is an independent Apache-licensed open source project with its ongoing development made possible because of the community. SeaweedFS is a simple and highly scalable distributed file system. There are two objectives, to store billions of files, and to serve the files fast! SeaweedFS started as an Object Store to handle small files efficiently. Instead of managing all file metadata in a central master, the central master only manages volumes on volume servers, and these volume servers manage files and their metadata. -

Foundatio
Pluggable foundation blocks for building distributed apps
Pluggable foundation blocks for building loosely coupled distributed apps. Includes implementations in Redis, Azure, AWS, RabbitMQ and in memory (for development). When building several big cloud applications we found a lack of great solutions (that's not to say there aren't solutions out there) for many key pieces to building scalable distributed applications while keeping the development experience simple. Wanted to build against abstract interfaces so that we could easily change implementations. Wanted the blocks to be dependency injection friendly. We were initially using an open-source Redis cache client but then it turned into a commercial product with high licensing costs. Not only that but there weren't any in-memory implementations so every developer was required to set up and configure Redis. We initially looked at NServiceBus (a great product) but it had high licensing costs (they have to eat too) and was not OSS friendly. -

Headless Chrome Crawler
Distributed crawler powered by Headless Chrome
Crawlers based on simple requests to HTML files are generally fast. However, it sometimes ends up capturing empty bodies, especially when the websites are built on such modern frontend frameworks as AngularJS, React and Vue.js. Powered by Headless Chrome, the crawler provides simple APIs to crawl dynamic websites. Support both depth-first search and breadth-first search algorithm. Save screenshots for the crawling evidence, emulate devices and user agents, priority queue for crawling efficiency, obey robots.txt, and more. The static crawlers are based on simple requests to HTML files. They are generally fast, but fail scraping the contents when the HTML dynamically changes on browsers. Dynamic crawlers based on PhantomJS and Selenium work magically on such dynamic applications. However, PhantomJS's maintainer has stepped down and recommended to switch to Headless Chrome, which is fast and stable. This crawler is dynamic and based on Headless Chrome. -

OpenUEM
Manage your IT assets thanks to its agents and a clean and concise UI
OpenUEM is an open-source inventory tool that allows you to manage your IT assets thanks to its agents and a clean and concise web user interface. OpenUEM is based on open-source or free tools that are battle-tested to avoid re-inventing the wheel. It allows you to keep track of your IT assets using agents installed on your Windows, Linux (Debian and RedHat based distributions) and MacOS endpoints and provides features like remote file browsing, getting Windows Update and Antivirus status, deploying software via WinGet/Flatpak/Brew, remote assistance with VNC or RDP… OpenUEM server components can be installed in a humble desktop machine with Windows 10 Home, Debian/Ubuntu Linux or any Docker powered environment. If you run a medium-sized or large company, you can use beefier machines and share the load as it has been designed to have distributed components. It can be classified too as a Remote Monitoring and Managing (RMM) or as a Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) tool. -

Image to ico Easymode
Image to software icon or favicon made simple
This program makes it simple to get a proper .ico image for your PC software or website favicons. It focuses on what matters and tells you exactly what you need. You feed it an image (png, jpg, gif), it will crop it if its not a square, then it will resize and convert it to the correct format. I have support for these: - Windows PC Exe Programs - 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 256×256 .ico bundled - Website Favicon - 32x32 .ico - Android Phone Apps - 192x192 .png - Progressive Web Apps (PWA) - 512x512 .png I recommend uploading images atleast 512x512px tall/wide, unless you're doing pixel perfect icons and just want an easier 'convert to .ico format' tool. (Source code is included as it is a standalone offline html file that works in any modern web browser.)
