Google protobuf support for Lua
A Lua module to work with Google protobuf
This project offers a C module for Lua (5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, and LuaJIT) manipulating Google's protobuf protocol, both for version 2 and 3 syntax and semantics. It splits into the lower-level and the high-level parts for different goals. For converting between binary protobuf data with Lua tables, using pb.load() loads the compiled protobuf schema content (*.pb file) generated by Google protobuf's compiler named protoc and call pb.encode()/pb.decode(). If you don't want to depend Google's protobuf compiler, protoc.lua is a pure Lua module translating text-based protobuf schema content into the *.pb binary format. -

Ledge
An RFC compliant and ESI capable HTTP cache for Nginx / OpenResty
An RFC-compliant and ESI-capable HTTP cache for Nginx / OpenResty, backed by Redis. Ledge can be utilized as a fast, robust, and scalable alternative to Squid / Varnish, etc, either installed standalone or integrated into an existing Nginx server or load balancer. Moreover, it is particularly suited to applications where the origin is expensive or distant, making it desirable to serve from the cache as optimistically as possible. -

Lmod
An Environment Module System based on Lua, Reads TCL Modules
Lmod is a program to manage the user environment under Unix: (Linux, Mac OS X, ...). It is a new implementation of environment modules. Lmod is a Lua-based module system that easily handles the MODULEPATH Hierarchical problem. Environment Modules provide a convenient way to dynamically change the users’ environment through modulefiles. This includes easily adding or removing directories to the PATH environment variable. Module files for Library packages provide environment variables that specify where the library and header files can be found. -

Neo-tree.nvim
Neovim plugin to manage the file system and other tree like structures
Neo-tree is a Neovim plugin to browse the file system and other tree-like structures in whatever style suits you, including sidebars, floating windows, netrw split style, or all of them at once. The biggest and most important feature of Neo-tree is that we will never knowingly push a breaking change and interrupt your day. Bugs happen, but breaking changes can always be avoided. When breaking changes are needed, there will be a new branch that you can opt into, when it is a good time for you. Aside from being polite about breaking changes, Neo-tree is also focused on the little details of user experience. Everything should work exactly as you would expect a sidebar to work without all of the glitchy behavior that is normally accepted in (neo)vim sidebars. I can't stand glitchy behavior, and neither should you. -

awesome-hammerspoon configuration
awesome configuration for Hammerspoon.
This is a tool for powerful automation of macOS. At its core, Hammerspoon is just a bridge between the operating system and a Lua scripting engine. What gives Hammerspoon its power is a set of extensions that expose specific pieces of system functionality, to the user. You can write Lua code that interacts with macOS APIs for applications, windows, mouse pointers, filesystem objects, audio devices, batteries, screens, low-level keyboard/mouse events, clipboards, location services, wifi, and more. -

OSHMI - Open Substation HMI
SCADA HMI for substations, IoT and automation applications
Now with IEC61850 support! This project combines existing open source projects and tools to create a very capable, mobile and cloud-friendly HMI system that can rival proprietary software. This approach makes it possible to join forces of each project (Chromium, SVG/HTML5, PHP, Lua, SQLite, Inkscape, Lib61850, OpenDNP3, Nginx, Vega, PostgreSQL, Grafana,…) to achieve a great set of open, evergreen, modular and customizable tools for building great HMIs for automation projects. This is not a toy project! It's been actually used in dozens of substations up to 230kV level and also in control centers with configurations up to 70.000 tags. Feel free to ask questions in the "Discussion" section. Help sponsoring OSHMI here https://github.com/sponsors/riclolsen. >>> Have a look also at my new SCADA project here: https://github.com/riclolsen/json-scada -

WinDS
Windows XP reimplemented on Nintendo DS
WinDS is a Reimplementation of the OS Windows(R) XP(R) on the Platform Nintendo DS. Since i started coding Apps for the NDS, my goal was to write a program, called WinDS, which does (nearly) the same as the real appy by Microsoft. In contrast to other little NDS-Operating Systems, just like Woopsi etc. you can code your own Application in Lua for WinDS: just copy the Code onto the FAT-Disk and execute it from within WinDS! This is what makes WinDS so unique. The New Beta 0.95 is out, it features - 52 Classes that are already available within Lua - 25 different types of user interface classes - 8 different predefined dialogs which makes it the perfect GUI sandbox for DS. PS: More time without update means: next update will have even more improvements, as i am still developing ;) -

JavaMacros
A GUI interface written "Around" LuaMacros
JavaMacros is a GUI "Client" for the LuaMacros "HID-aware" macros program - It runs using Java 8, so you will need it installed on your machine. In simpler words, it is a general way to "reprogram" keyboards in windows, using a graphic user interface rather than directly writing macro scripts, that allows to use any number of keyboards - even of the same make and model - as separate, specific devices. Each with its tailored functions (stickers over the keys are a must). It provides a graphic user interface with a "keystroke recorder" to automatize compiling macros, and support for activating different macros/functions depending on the active window in foreground, whether on its software, class or caption. It also features the ability of defining multiple logical keyboard levels, similarly to how the modifiers on standard keyboards allow to have more than one logical function on each single key.
