  • bat

    A cat(1) clone with wings.

    Really like Joplin still, but been using Obsidian a few months now and I like the feeling on Android way more. Snappier and easy to navigate. And I also like to just vim the notes straight in the terminal sometimes or read them with bat or glow

  • glow

  • 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.

  • pgbadger

    A fast PostgreSQL Log Analyzer

    First of all I used a profiler (pgbadger and netdata) to figure out where the lags were coming from. I then tried the usual stuff (increasing shared_buffers, max_wal_size, min_wal_size from their ultra low defaults), but the biggest performance gain came from moving the database from eMMC to a mechanical hard drive :-D

  • Mailcow

    mailcow: dockerized - 🐮 + 🐋 = 💕

    Mailcow kills every other mail combination. It has ALL the functions needed, it is correctly configured to combat spam (unlike popular iRedmail for example), and it's free!

  • Paperless-ng

    Discontinued A supercharged version of paperless: scan, index and archive all your physical documents

    Note that Paperless ≠ Paperless-ng. The former is either a an unrelated commercial service or a dead project, while the latter is the self-hostable libre one that's actively developed.
