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. -

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. -

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. -

Homebrew Cask
CLI workflow for the administration of macOS apps as binaries
Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple (or your Linux system) didn’t. Homebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local. Homebrew won’t install files outside its prefix and you can place a Homebrew installation wherever you like. Trivially create your own Homebrew packages. It’s all Git and Ruby underneath, so hack away with the knowledge that you can easily revert your modifications and merge upstream updates. Homebrew formulae are simple Ruby scripts. Homebrew complements macOS (or your Linux system). Install your RubyGems with gem and their dependencies with brew. Homebrew Cask installs macOS apps, fonts and plugins and other non-open source software. Making a cask is as simple as creating a formula. -

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. -
