  • rustsec

    RustSec API & Tooling

  • Eg. for Rust you can use https://github.com/RustSec/cargo-audit to automatically find security advisories for all your dependencies.

  • AppImageLauncher

    Helper application for Linux distributions serving as a kind of "entry point" for running and integrating AppImages

  • This doesn't fix the update problem, but if you install this: https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher, your appimages will integrate with the system and will show up in the "start menu" of whatever desktop environment you use.

  • 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.

  • PrintSpool

    A bold new way to 3D print over WiFi.

  • It's a fairly simple check atm. Here's what it looks like in my code: https://github.com/tegapp/teg/blob/develop/crates/server/src/server_query.rs#L21

  • opensnitch

    OpenSnitch is a GNU/Linux interactive application firewall inspired by Little Snitch.

  • Talking about "security vulnerabilities" is so hypocritiсal while still there is no tool for your system to control per app traffic. I mean something like this or this (these examples are not ready for production and probably will never be). I didn't ask anybody for care, OK? My personal security shouldn't be anybody's concern. I could just use Windows or Mac if I wanted big brother care about me and decide for me when and what to do.

  • subsurface

    This is the official upstream of the Subsurface divelog program

  • Torvalds absolutely does have experience in making user space software. In fact, I've already read a significant chunk of his gripes with shared libraries following the development of Subsurface (that he started because there was no good FLOSS dive log software before).
