Anyone else got charged a few cents by GitHub for an open-source repo?

I just noticed something odd and wanted to check if it’s only me.

On July 27, 2025, I opened a support ticket with GitHub after receiving an invoice that showed my public open-source repository being billed under “metered” usage. From what I understand, public repos shouldn’t trigger these charges.

I only got a reply on August 12, and the next day they explained it was a bug: some users were charged a couple of cents for metered billing products, even when they shouldn’t have been. They reversed the charge and said they’re working on a fix.

That’s fine — but now I’m wondering: how many other people saw a tiny $0.02 or $0.03 charge and didn’t bother contacting support?

Has anyone else here noticed small, unexpected charges for public repos recently?

Project: Unstructored -> structured

I’m building an open-source AI Agent that converts messy, unstructured documents into clean, structured data.

The idea is simple:

You upload multiple documents — invoices, purchase orders, contracts, medical reports, etc. — and get back structured data (CSV tables) so you can visualize and work with your information more easily.

Here’s the approach I’m testing:

1. inference_schema

A vLLM analyzes your documents and suggests the best JSON schema for them — regardless of the document type.
This schema acts as the “official” structure for all files in the batch.

2. invoice_data_capture

A specialized LLM maps the extracted fields strictly to the schema.
For each uploaded document, it returns something like this, always following the same structure:

>

3. generate_csv

Once all documents are structured in JSON, another specialized LLM (with tools like Pandas) designs CSV tables to clearly present the extracted data.

💬 What do you think about this approach? All feedback is welcome

Open-Source Civic Framework – Looking for Collaborators & Review

Open-source governance toolkit — modular, forkable, and maybe just a little bit sci-fi. Want to help shape it?



I’ve published the **first draft** of an open-source civic framework called **Constella**. It’s intended as a **modular governance toolkit** for communities, blending practical civic processes with some creative concepts (cosmic citizenship, AI companions).



GitHub repo:

📄 [Constella Framework – GitHub](https://github.com/Nightmarejam/constella-framework)



Looking for:



* Code review & contribution
* Ideas for modular features
* Advice on making the repo more contributor-friendly

I needed an efficient way to convert 5tb of unstructured html into dictionaries using just my laptop, so I wrote doc2dict.

I'm the developer of an open source package to work with SEC data. It turns out the SEC has 5tb of html. This data is visually standardized to humans, but under the hood is a mess of different tags and css.

There are a couple existing solutions for parsing html, but they usually involve a combination of LLMs and OCR, which is slow and expensive. So, I decided to write a flexible, algorithmic solution: doc2dict.

Installation

pip install doc2dict

User interface

dct = html2dict(content,mappingdict=None) # converts content to dictionary
visualizedict(dct) # visualizes the dictionary using your browser.

Note: I don't use this UI much, as I mostly use it via my SEC package. Docs

# Architecture

1. Iterate through DOM and via inheritance get characteristics such as bold, visual height, italics, etc for text on same line (e.g. within a block) to create instructions, e.g.[{'text': 'BOARD MEETINGS', 'all_caps': True, 'bold': True, 'font-size': 15.995999999999999}]
2. Use a rule set to determine how to convert instructions into a nested dictionary. This is customizable. For example, the mapping dict below tells the parser that 'items' should be nested under 'parts', in addition to the default rules.

​

tenkmappingdict = {
('part',r'^part\s([ivx]+)$') : 0,
('signatures',r'^signatures?\.$') : 0,
('item',r'^item\s(\d+)') : 1,
}

Note: This approach kinda works for modern pdfs. The text stream is often in the order a human would view as correct, so this kinda works. I've added the functionality to doc2dict, but it's in an early stage. (AKA, it sucks).

# Benchmarks

Benchmarks vary as I update the package w.r.t. to features (tables are slow!). Via my laptop:

500 pages per second single threaded
5,000 pages per second multi threaded

Best practice for including third-party licenses in an OSS library?

I built a public library that’s MIT-licensed (the license is in a LICENSE file).
The package uses some third-party code, each with its own license.

I’m trying to figure out the standard way to include those third-party licenses in my repo:

Add them directly to my LICENSE file?

Create a separate file like THIRDPARTYLICENSES or NOTICE?


Also, when someone uses my package, do they need to include all these third-party licenses in their app?

One concern: I’ve noticed that some app license generators only pull the main LICENSE file of each dependency, so if third-party licenses are in a separate file, they might be missed. How do you handle this?

My library has 300k downloads a month, and I think it’s time to fix this in the best way.

Currently I only have in the readme a section with links to the third party code that I use with their license type.

Thanks

Rust Utility for Managing PATH

✦ Global Path Add - Rust Utility for Managing PATH



I've built a Rust utility that permanently adds directories to your PATH environment variable across different shell environments.



What it does:

Makes persistent PATH changes that apply to all new terminal sessions, unlike temporary solutions.



Current status (Pre-Alpha):

\- ✅ Works with Bash shell

\- ⚠️ Fish shell support semi-implemented (files created but not fully functional)

\- ⚠️ Only works with absolute paths

\- ⚠️ Not thoroughly tested - use at your own risk!



Usage:



1 global_path_add /absolute/path/to/directory



Why I'm sharing:

This is my first Rust project and I'm looking for feedback and contributors to help improve it. I need help with:

\- Completing Fish shell support

\- Support for other shells

\- Better error handling

\- Unit tests

\- Code refactoring



Licensed under MIT. Any feedback or contributions would be greatly appreciated!

\- 💻 Lightweight desktop code scanner with a minimal GUI. Fast heuristics + optional on-device AI explanations.

\- 🧭 What it flags: command exec, unsafe deserialization, weak crypto (MD5/SHA1/DES), destructive FS, secrets, network IOCs. Works on common source/configs (e.g., .py/.sh/Dockerfile).

\- 🤖 AI: bigcode/starcoder2‑3b via HF Transformers; local-only, with deterministic fallback when AI isn’t available.

\- 🐳 Optional Trivy integration (Docker) for dependency scanning. Safe degradation if Docker is off.

\- 📊 Outputs a security score, risk categories (with severity weighting), and keeps recent scan history locally.

\- 🧰 Cross‑platform (Linux/Win/macOS), Python 3.9+, MIT.

looking for FOSS alarm clock, for windows.

i used to use alarm clock pro alarm clock pro (paid) for some reason it glitched out in my old device and i was able to use the free trial eternally (LOL)

and since i switched to a new device, i have been looking for an alternative...
found Free Alarm Clock a run down version of (paid) Hot Alarm Clock , working fine but it was not able to play a flac audio file

was wondering if there was an opensource or free alternative for alarm clock pro, i mainly need features like to play audio files (.flac also) in loop (single/many),can autostart, can wake up from sleep, can run in background(stay alive in hidden icons- bottom right) if possible- can open files , can run timers with same output mechanism

features of this alarm clock pro
can autorun at startup and probably wake from sleep (has never let me down)
set multiple alarms, on and off them (basic function)

select the alarm time, and snooze timings for each snooze and frequency of alarms

play any audio,many A/V files (plays even flac!), customize volume of alarm too + more

change the loop and playback speed 😱

can shutdown/sleep at alarm , can open any? file or folder , create log, run shell command settings-shell command


freealarmclock

choose frequency, time, song (mp3), custom volume at time of alarm +(https://files.catbox.moe/4tzf3j.png)
