  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • pfSense

    Main repository for pfSense

    I've recently started using OPNsense. It's similar to pfSense, but seems to be considered a little more user-friendly.

  • sqm-scripts

    SQM scripts traffic shaper

    The little ~$150 Celeron mini-PCs with 4 network ports on AliExpress can generally handle routing close to 2.5Gb linespeed - basic routing doesn't take a whole lot of horsepower. Adding in VPN, SQM, and other features like that will take more power though.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • core

    OPNsense GUI, API and systems backend (by opnsense)

    I've recently started using OPNsense. It's similar to pfSense, but seems to be considered a little more user-friendly.
