    Interactive, file-level Time Machine-like tool for ZFS/btrfs/nilfs2 (and even actual Time Machine backups!)

  • openzfs

    OpenZFS on Linux and FreeBSD, and, macOS. This is where development for macOS happens. (by openzfsonosx)

    I've used OpenZFS on OSX (https://github.com/openzfsonosx/openzfs#readme) and it's been better to me for cross-os drive sharing than NTFS or UFS, despite their warnings about using it on USB devices

    I hear you about a ZFS root partition, though

  • 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.

  • zeus

    zfs backup tool (by reconquest)

    Shameless plug — https://github.com/reconquest/zeus

    Daemon for automatic incremental backup of your ZFS systems to the another (physically connected right now) pool.

  • openzfs

    OpenZFS on Linux and FreeBSD

    That's awesome. I never expected Windows could integrate with zfs like that.

    Speaking of, I always forget this exists too:

  • snapper

    Manage filesystem snapshots and allow undo of system modifications

    I'm using snapper (https://github.com/openSUSE/snapper) as a daemon which snapshots periodically and it's easy to search files with some fzf-like fuzzy-searching shell tools. But now checking its explanation, I must say it doesn't look polished.

  • 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.
