HuskHoard
An open source data tiering archive for Linux. Written in Rust. Transparently offload cold data to S3, HDD, or LTO tape while keeping searchable local stubs.
If you've ever been told "never buy SMR drives," you were given good advice for the wrong reason. SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) drives are terrible under a normal filesystem and a RAID controller. They are excellent as an archive medium, if — and only if — the software writing to them understands how they physically work. That's the specific niche HuskHoard is built for: an open-source (AGPL v3), Rust-based data-tiering engine for Linux that treats hard drives like tape and becomes a host manager for SMR drives.

siegu
Siegu is a privacy-first, local-only photo & video manager. Organize, search, and sync your library across your own devices — no cloud, no accounts, no telemetry. https://denzyldick.github.io/siegu/
I've been on a sabbatical for a couple of months now, and I thought: what about finishing the idea I had a couple of months ago? It's not finished yet.
I just want to replace Google Photos for myself, and maybe it can be useful for other people.
The idea is that I just want to have all of my photos/videos on all of my devices without all of the technical stuff that you need to do with the current solutions. The replacement should also include AI stuff so it's actually useful when you need to find a picture or video.
Right now, I can connect devices with each other using mDNS + WebRTC on a local network in four/five steps. The project also includes a signaling server that can be put on your own server with just a Docker command if you actually want cross-network syncing. But it's not mandatory—you can still sync if you are on the same network.
I haven't released it yet; I'm still working on it.
