I built RemoveMD.com – a simple tool to clean up your files before them posting on social media.

I'm working on a small side project called RemoveMD -- a privacy website that lets you remove private data leaks from your files. This idea is not very original, but I wanted to create something open source, easy to use and modern. So, there is a version that can be hosted locally (available on github), without any limitations and of course free. And another that I host that offers several paid plans for people who do not have the skills to use the local version. I noticed that this type of site often has a lot of ads. On RemoveMD there are no ads, and registrations are completely anonymous with an anonymous hash (You can create as many accounts as you want) and of course without email required.

I'm posting this message today to gather opinions, or ideas to add.

Thanks for reading (:

Calling all FOSS Developers! Help needed for improve newcomers's contributions

As a Open Source Contributor / Developer, which tools YOU think it would be great to have?

I'm on my last semester on computer engineering, and my final project is creating a tool that helps FOSS community newcomers (or simply on a specific repository) on how to contribute on that project. The tool will be released as a VSCode extension.

I was thinking on showing one graph of all the features and their relationships, and another one showing the flow of execution...? Something very similar to this awesome tool (shout-out for Ahmed Khaleel), but on different perspectives being showed inside VSCode. In other words, not necessarily the extension will do everything for you, but it can help you on to analyse and understand that project better. Thas the main idea.

Thing is: i ain't no expert on OSS contributions and it's workflow. If i really want to develop my project, so i think i need to understand better what OSS developers would like to have on their daily activities. And that's why i'm here! :)

Any help would be appreciated!

I built GoferBroke an anti entropy gossip engine in Go

I'm excited to announce my first ever release of an open source project GoferBroke

GoferBroke is an anti-entropy gossip engine built on a custom TCP protocol built with Go. The goal is to make it easy to embed gossip directly into your applications, so each instance can join a cluster, share state, and detect failures in a decentralized way.

I also built a gossip-toy example you can run to spin up multiple app instances and actually watch them gossip, sync state, and handle failures.

I know the project isn't perfect and i'm sure there are many things that could do with changing or optimising but despite that, I wanted to share the project with the community as I always liked seeing posts about new releases of cool and interesting projects (not saying my project is cool or interesting but you get the point).

I originally announced this in r/golang as the project is built entirely in go but as it's open source I wanted to post it here as well to contribute to the open source community.

I hope you find something here that’s interesting or useful to your own work. And please keep sharing your projects too. I love reading about them and always find them inspiring.

I build Quickmark - a Markdown linter with first-class LSP support

I got annoyed enough with Markdown tooling that I decided to build my own.

Here’s the problem: markdownlint and similar tools do the job, but they’re not exactly fast, and worse - they don’t integrate cleanly into editors because they don’t speak LSP. That means you either run them as one-off CLI tools or settle for half-baked editor plugins.

So I created Quickmark, a Markdown linter written in Rust. It’s:

* Fast
* Built on the Language Server Protocol, so it plugs into any editor that supports LSP: VSCode, Neovim, JetBrains, etc. – Available as both a CLI tool and an editor integration

I’m sure there are bugs hiding, and I’d love for other people to try it and break it. Feedback/issues/PRs all welcome.

Looking for Smartwatch with SIM/eSIM (LTE) and GPS with sensor data acces

Hello

I'm looking for smartwatch/band options that have LTE (no phone required to be paired), on which I can install my own app, or that provides APIs via a cloud service, to be able to fetch location (GPS) and other sensors data (battery, accelerometer, etc).

Requirements:

* Must work standalone (no smartphone nearby, except maybe for the initial setup)
* Needs **SIM/eSIM** for connectivity and **GPS** for location.
* I need to access **location and battery level automatically**, ideally via API (either the manufacturer’s cloud API or my own app running on the device).

Optionally, it should be able to send SMSs with the data, in cases of bad coverage.

What I've found are closed-source without API, or using WearOS (samsung, xiaomi, garmin) but quite expensive for my needs. Also looked into kids smartwatches but these are very closed-systems and not very reliable anyway, with terrible battery life.

Any help is appreaciated. Thank you

AMA: We’re an open source company from Germany employing 21 people: Ask us anything!

We’re putting up this post a bit ahead of time, so you can think of questions and post from whichever time zone you’re in.

We’ll start answering from 3PM CEST until we either run out of questions or we go home for the night - but you can keep posting more questions if you want, we’ll check in in the coming days as well!

A big Dankeschön to the mods for their amazing cooperation in setting all of this up together!

\---------------------------------------------------------

Hello fellow open-source enthusiasts!

A little bit about us:

We at Icinga are a team of 21 people working together on our flagships Icinga and Icinga Web, its modules and extensions, and a bunch of other projects in the open source monitoring world. You can find pretty much all we do over on our GitHub.

Icinga started out as an open source project, as a fork of Nagios, back in 2009. Since then, it’s been completely rewritten and grown into its own monitoring platform, shaped by contributions from people all over the world. Community and openness have always been at the heart of it, and that’s something we’re making sure to keep.

Our goal is straightforward: build a strong open source monitoring tool and keep improving it, so you can monitor your entire infrastructure with confidence. That means keeping up with new requirements and pushing new ideas forward.

We’ve been part of the monitoring community for many years, and we work with companies of all sizes to better understand the real-world challenges of running large and diverse environments.

In 2018 we set up Icinga GmbH to make sure there’s stable funding and proper product management behind the project. These days we’ve got a partner network, and we provide services, support and training for folks who need it. Our home base is Nuremberg, Germany, where we still see each other regularly in our offices.

\---------------------------------------------------------

Feel free to ask us anything: technical, business related, community related, fun, or completely random. We’re happy to talk monitoring, open source, company life, or whatever else comes to mind.

You can also upvote the questions you want to see answered first!

We’ll be using our shared u/icinga and note who is answering with a /Name to protect everyone's privacy / activity on here :)

Why does Firefox no longer offer an APK file on its website?

After getting sick with all the tacking data Google had on me (https://myaccount.google.com), I took my phone completely off-grid. Installed LineageOS. Setup service with Ooma, and ported my old number there. Removed my SIM. Installed Session for texting. And now I'm trying to install a modern web browser, but none of them offer apks on their sites anymore.

Is there a reason for this?

network monitor that shows which process is making which connection with packet inspection

Hey r/opensource! I've been working on RustNet, an Apache 2.0 licensed network monitoring tool that combines process identification with deep packet inspection in a terminal UI.

GitHub: https://github.com/domcyrus/rustnet

# The Problem

I wanted to see what my OS and applications were actually doing on the network - what telemetry was being sent, what services were phoning home, etc. Existing tools either show processes OR packet contents, but not both together in real-time.

# What RustNet Does

Process + Network correlation: See which process makes each connection
Deep packet inspection: Identifies HTTP hosts, TLS SNI, DNS queries, QUIC protocol
Real-time monitoring: Watch connections as they happen
Terminal UI: Clean interface with (some) vim keybindings, no GUI (needed)
Filter: Ability to filter traffic in real-time

# Installation

# macOS
brew tap domcyrus/rustnet
brew install rustnet

# Linux (build from source)
git clone https://github.com/domcyrus/rustnet
cd rustnet
cargo build --release

# Use Cases

Monitor OS telemetry and application phone-home behavior
Debug network issues without juggling multiple tools
Audit what data might be leaving your network
Learn about network protocols by watching them in action

# Current State & Roadmap

Working well on Linux and macOS. Windows support is experimental. Planning to add:

SSH protocol detection
More application protocols (gRPC)
Linux eBPF process socket tracker using kprobe events to find process name & pid

# Contributing

Looking for contributors! Areas where help would be appreciated:

Windows support (unfortunately don't know windows very well, sorry)
Additional protocol detection

# License

Apache 2.0 - Use it freely in personal or commercial projects.

I would love feedback from the community on features you'd find useful or any issues you encounter. What protocols would you most like to see detected?

How viable would be open source chip design?

I was thinking of trying to make an open source hardware design as hobby for a GPU... in a few years. Now since open source software can be even more advanced or eprformant than proprietary ones, how viable would be for the community to build and iterate on real hardware design? Afaik FPGAs can be used to quickly and affordably test the chip routing, so it's not that unimaginable for an open source programmer to contribute in their free time.

When it comes to AI there were several serious breakthroughs made in open source models. Now that the whole industry depends on many powerful open-source technologies, and that there are some open-source GPU projects, would it be possible for the community to come close to the big players in the field?

How do I pick open-source projects to start contributing to?

Yo everyone,



I’m in 3rd year of engineering, kinda into computers and electronics. I know Java, Flutter, Node.js, frontend dev, DBMS.

I wanna get into open source — like actually fix stuff, add small features, not just typo PRs. Also ngl, would be cool if it adds some weight to my resume later.

Problem is… I don’t really know what projects to jump on. There are so many. I’d prefer something active, beginner-friendly, where I won’t get roasted for asking dumb questions 😂

Any project suggestions or tips on how to find the right issues would really help.

How do you think about so-called overmarketing in open-source projects?

What is the bar for overmarketing? And I'm just curious - is it fair to say an open-source project is overmarketing? Because in most open-source projects, maintainers gain no money, only praise and fame. I agree that misleading language and benchmarks are highly problematic, as they're essentially fraudulent. But what about simply marketing frequently to gain attention - is that problematic too?
