  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Sonic Pi

    Code. Music. Live.

  • xtermwm

    It's working, behaves pretty well, but I have no time/patience for the actual front-facing OSS community stuff.

  • jexer

    Java Text User Interface. This library implements a text-based windowing system loosely reminiscent of Borland's Turbo Vision system

    Plus everyone hates Java for whatever reason. But it made my life immensely easier in the long run, and I have a porting guide out there for the key features.

    Adds an automated unlock function based on TPM policy installation

  • tpm-luks

  • tpm2-initramfs-tool

    Tool used in initramfs to seal/unseal FDE key to the TPM

  • Bytelocker

    Unlock encrypted system volume automatically during boot using TPM2 (Trusted Platform Module 2.0) protection, very fast.
