  • AsteroidOSLinux

    AsteroidOS Linux control application

    • So I took one that had stopped work years prior: AsteroidOSLinux and replaced certain modules to get the weather app working. I also had no use the music player as it was designed so I repurposed it into a script runner for my pc, it worked somewhat well funny enough being my first experience with python and Bluetooth programming.

  • asteroid

    Build script for AsteroidOS, an open-source operating system for smartwatches (by AsteroidOS)

    • In my silly little case, I wanted a smart watch that runs Linux. So I bought myself an LG Watch Urbane and installed Asteroid OS on it. After installing I realized there were next to no sync clients for any of my devices: desktop linux and iOS.

  • 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.

  • Overte

    Overte is an open-source 3D client and server solution that allows for vast social & educational environments to be created and lived in while also being shared in real-time with others.

    • More practically, I currently work on a former commercial project that was luckily open source. Thanks to that, we can keep it going!

  • doas-insult

    Discontinued doas will insult you every time you enter the wrong password.

    • I ported sudo's insult feature to doas https://github.com/DelightedDuck/doas-insult

  • refind-patched

    Discontinued Patched rEFInd. See what's different in the wiki.

    • Instead, I patched refind to add the functionality that I needed, and then put that up on AUR. Since then, the changes got actually upstreamed into the program.

  • waybox

    An openbox clone on Wayland (WIP)

    • No, I just googled "openbox wayland" and found the first result is a Wayland version of an Openbox clone: https://github.com/wizbright/waybox
