BuckleVibes: Convert Your Favorite MechVibes Soundpacks to Bucklespring
If you've ever used MechVibes, you've probably noticed it can have some pain points, like input delay. I've found that bucklespring is much more responsive, but it's limited to just one sound.
BuckleVibes is a simple Python noscript that takes a MechVibes V1 soundpack and automatically converts it into a folder of individual
The project is available on GitHub: https://github.com/p-febis/bucklevibes

Any open source MMO or other projects looking for volunteer GMs or community support?
Hey all,
I’ve recently started volunteering with ChromieCraft (a World of Warcraft Wrath project) and I’m really enjoying helping with community support, bug triaging, and suggestions. It got me thinking:
Are there other open source MMO style projects (or game servers) that are looking for beginner friendly volunteers?
I’m especially interested in roles like:
GM / player support
Community moderation
Testing / bug triaging
Writing guides or doing outreach
I know about projects like ChromieCraft, WorldForge, and Multiverse, but I’d love to hear if anyone here knows other communities that welcome new contributors.
Thanks in advance!

🎯 I built tools I needed — now I'm sharing with all
Hey folks,
Over the last few months, I found myself constantly pausing to solve the same annoying problems while coding — the kind of things that slow you down but never feel big enough to warrant a full-blown tool. So... I built them. And now I’m sharing them for free, in case they help you too.
1. 🖼 vscode-screenshotify
Ever needed to share a clean snippet of code on Twitter or in docs?
I was tired of switching to Carbon or clunky browser extensions, so I made this extension right inside VS Code.
One click → beautiful screenshot of your code. Zero config, super light.
2. 🔄 dhara
I find it super frustrating that in 2025 I need to juggle btwn different techniques just to send files to my pc to phone or from phone to desktop. Either mail, or telegram or any other 3rd-party site that stores your file to their cloud.
Hence, I made a CLI tool that solves this with just quick QR code scan you can send, recieve with just a command. Modern solution for Modern folks.
And because I apparently hate free time, I’ve started building something new:
3. 🔥 An open-source heatmap CDN for frontend devs
It’ll be a plug-and-play noscript you drop into your HTML. No tracking creepiness, no selling data. Just a lightweight way to see where users are clicking and how they’re interacting with your frontend — perfect for indie devs or small teams without $$$ for Hotjar.
---
These projects are totally open source, no paid tiers, no BS. I'm just a dev scratching my own itch and hoping it helps others too. If any of this sounds useful, I’d love feedback, PRs, or ideas!
Let me know if you’d use the heatmap tool — trying to gauge whether to open that up early 🙌
Cheers!

After trying 15 productivity apps, I built my own (open-source)
I love productivity tools, but after years of trying Google Calendar, Todoist, Evernote, Notion, Trello, TickTick… none fully worked for me.
So I built my own open-source project:
Three item types: notes, tasks, folders – all in one place
Flexible hierarchy: folders within folders, drag-and-drop, undo/redo
Natural RTL + LTR text support (auto-detected per line)
Cross-device reminders + fast sync
Rich text editor with secure image uploads, multilingual search
It’s not “the next big app,” just something that solved my pain points — and maybe it can help others too.
The repo is public, and I keep a roadmap of future features (\~45 planned).
Would love feedback from other makers: what’s the best way to grow an open-source productivity project?

Open source cellular concrete mixer.
We could use some help. I've been going on this for 14 months. I'm self funded. The only thing likely to give us trouble is the transfer pump arrangement. https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenSourceAircrete/
If this looks like something you would like to be involved with, we need a technical writer.We've written 120 pages of research about residential cellular concrete techniques. You would be proofreading final drafts for syntax mainly. We also need someone who understands materials science to save us time on pump design (have to avoid shear in the material). I have project money to pay for qualified help. We need graphic design help too.

Building an open-source Bitcoin vault with time-delays & recovery — looking for beta testers
Hey everyone 👋
We’re developing an open-source Bitcoin Vault that aims to solve a long-standing problem: how to keep funds safe not only from online hacks but also from real-world coercion.
The design combines:
2-of-3 multisig as the default spending path
Time-delayed transactions (2h–15d), enforced on-chain, so the owner has a reaction window
A trustless recovery path after 1 year, even if co-signers disappear
Support for QR-based hardware wallets (SeedSigner, Passport, Keystone, Jade)
Right now, the full code isn’t public yet — we’re still going through security reviews. But we’re opening up a free beta test to get feedback on usability, UX, and design choices before the wider release.
👉 If you’d like to try it out, you can leave your email at https://bitvault.sv to join the beta.
This will always remain an open-source project, and early testers will help shape how it evolves. Any thoughts, critiques, or ideas from the open-source community are very welcome 🙏

I built a security-focused, open-source AI coding assistant for the terminal (GPT-CLI) and wanted to share.
Hey everyone,
Like a lot of you, I live in the terminal and wanted a way to bring modern AI into my workflow without compromising on security or control. I tried a few existing tools, but many felt like basic API wrappers or lacked the safety features I'd want before letting an AI interact with my shell.
So, I decided to build my own solution: GPT-CLI.
The core idea was to make something that's genuinely useful for daily tasks but with security as the top priority. Here’s what makes it different:
Security is the main feature, not an afterthought. All tool executions (like running shell commands) happen in sandboxed child processes. There's a validator that blocks dangerous commands (rm -rf /, sudo, etc.) before they can even be suggested, plus real-time monitoring.
It’s fully open-source. The code is on GitHub for anyone to inspect, use, or contribute to. No hidden telemetry or weird stuff going on.
It’s actually practical. You can have interactive chats, use powerful models like GPT-4o, and even run it in an --auto-execute mode if you're confident in a workflow. It also saves your conversation history so you can easily resume tasks.
I’ve been using it myself for things like writing complex awk commands, debugging Python noscripts, and generating Dockerfiles, and it's been a huge time-saver.
Of course, it's ultimately up to each individual to decide which coding assistant they choose. However, from many tests, I've found that debugging, in particular, works very well with GPT.
I'd genuinely love to get some feedback from the community here.
You can check out the repo here: https://github.com/Vispheration/GPT-CLI-Coding/tree/main

Proposal: Human Content Compensation Protocol (HCCP) — looking for feedback & contributors
Open source and the open web made the modern Internet possible. But now AI companies are training on that shared commons—code, docs, blogs, datasets—and commercializing it at scale without giving anything back. If that continues unchecked, the long-term sustainability of the commons is at risk.
The Human Content Compensation Protocol (HCCP) is an early-stage proposal to address this. The idea is straightforward:
Human access remains free, with content creators continuing to monetise their work as they like.
Agentic AI systems that crawl, train, or generate from content should be required to pay.
The draft combines three layers:
Licensing — to clearly separate human vs. AI use.
Technical enforcement — agent detection, signed requests, decentralized identity.
Economic mechanisms — micropayments, pooled settlements, bulk licensing.
The intent is not to close the web, but to create a fair standard—something like robots.txt or Creative Commons for the AI era. The hope is that it could be implemented in open source projects, documentation, and platforms so that compensation mechanisms are baked in, not bolted on.
Request for support
This is early and experimental, so it needs critique, improvement, and participation from the open source community. Developers, maintainers, lawyers, and anyone interested in protecting the sustainability of shared knowledge:
👉 https://github.com/aidanmorgan/fypm
Protocols like this only work if they’re built and shaped in the open. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Made a small patch
Ahem.. everyone.
I have made a small open-source dylib that makes GoFetch way harder to use but doesn't mitigate it (obv it's to Apple to release a REAL mitigation).
It is only for MacOS yet (being that the nature of the patch is that it's a dylib) and personally I may have plans for the future (but uncertain) to port it to Asahi I guess...
But to try to limit it.. I have made a small dylib that tries to hint to the MacOS scheduler to use efficiency cores (E-cores) which aren't affected by GoFetch for the current process and adds some jitter to make timing less precise, disrupting this side-channel attack which relies on high-resolution timing to infer data.
The E-core trick may or may not work since it's just a hint and the scheduler is responsible for the final decision.

Ahem.. everyone.
I have made a small open-source dylib that makes GoFetch way harder to use but doesn't mitigate it (obv it's to Apple to release a REAL mitigation).
It is only for MacOS yet (being that the nature of the patch is that it's a dylib) and personally I may have plans for the future (but uncertain) to port it to Asahi I guess...
But to try to limit it.. I have made a small dylib that tries to hint to the MacOS scheduler to use efficiency cores (E-cores) which aren't affected by GoFetch for the current process and adds some jitter to make timing less precise, disrupting this side-channel attack which relies on high-resolution timing to infer data.
The E-core trick may or may not work since it's just a hint and the scheduler is responsible for the final decision.
