Customer friendly (mostly FOSS) DAP hardware?

I had a shower thought this morning, and I thought I would run it by you guys and see if this already exists or is even viable. I want a customer friendly (preferably FOSS) digital audio player.

I've seen people modding iPods and that's great, I love it. But you're working with 20 year old technology. I want something that is built for today.

I want something that can handle 24bit FLAC files and every other codec out there. I want something that (mostly) does not require a soldering iron to repair or to replace parts.

I spent some time today researching MCUs, DACs, Amps and other things to see if this was possible.

But before I go off obsessing about creating this, Does anyone know if this has been done before? Would people even be interested in this?

Thanks!

I made a static site generator with a TUI!

Hey everyone,

I’m excited to share **Blogr** — a static site generator built in Rust that lets you write, edit, and deploy blogs entirely from the command line or terminal UI.

# How it works

The typical blogging workflow involves jumping between tools - write markdown, build, preview in browser, make changes, repeat. With Blogr:

1. blogr new "My Post Title"
2. Write in the TUI editor with live preview alongside your text
3. Save and quit when done
4. blogr deploy to publish

# Example

You can see it in action at blog.gokuls.in \- built with the included Minimal Retro theme.

# Installation

git clone https://github.com/bahdotsh/blogr.git
cd blogr
cargo install --path blogr-cli

# Set up a new blog
blogr init my-blog
cd my-blog

# Create a post (opens TUI editor)
blogr new "Hello World"

# Preview locally
blogr serve

# Deploy when ready
blogr deploy

# Looking for theme contributors

Right now there's just one theme (Minimal Retro), and I'd like to add more options. The theme system is straightforward - each theme provides HTML templates, CSS/JS assets, and configuration options. Themes get compiled into the binary, so once merged, they're available immediately.

If you're interested in contributing themes or have ideas for different styles, I'd appreciate the help. The current theme structure is in blogr-themes/src/minimal_retro/ if you want to see how it works.

The project is on GitHub with full documentation in the README. Happy to answer questions if you're interested in contributing or just want to try it out.

Foundational LLM

Hi Guys,

I have about $7500 USD of credits in Lambda AI, do you think I would be able to create a very very small foundational model with these credits? I just want to raise some funds using this foundational model from a VC I have connection with. Also ofcouse would love to Open Source the model.

Best,

How to use code from MIT github project?

Hi, I'm building a plugin, that use parts of code from another MIT project. How I must approach this situation?
\- I don't want to fork and than `cherry pick` because i don't need sync with upstream and I don't need 90% of an upstream project
\- If i just copy I kinda lose all contributors info. Is it ok?

If losing contributors data is not ok, is there any way to obtain contributors list in necessary format? Because contributions are scattered around project and it is time consuming to determine, who have worked on specific parts of code i gonna use

What is DriveLite architecture

## Introduction

DriveLite is an open-source, self-hostable file storage system designed with privacy-first principles. Unlike traditional cloud storage, DriveLite ensures your files are encrypted end-to-end by default, so even your server cannot see your data.

At the same time, DriveLite is flexible advanced users can opt into server-trusted mode to enable features like previews, AI tagging, and semantic search.

This post explains DriveLite’s architecture and how it balances maximum privacy with optional convenience.

---
## 1. Core Principles

- Privacy by default → End-to-end encryption (E2EE) + zero-trust.
- Flexible control → Users can choose server-trusted mode for enhanced features.
- Modular architecture → Storage, backend, and AI/search services are separate and scalable.

---
## 2. How DriveLite Handles Security

### E2EE + Zero Trust (Default)

- Files are encrypted in the browser before upload.
- Server only stores ciphertext, cannot read user files.
- Protects against server compromises, rogue admins, or cloud breaches.
- Ideal for privacy-conscious users and sensitive data.
- Use on device AI models

### Server-Trusted Mode (Optional)

- Admins can opt-in for server-trusted mode per deployment
- Enables advanced features:
- File previews
- Semantic search
- AI tagging and AI-assisted file organization

---
## 3. Components Breakdown
### Frontend Web (React + Tailwind)

- Handles encryption/decryption for E2EE by default.
- Offers clear privacy vs. convenience toggle for users or admins.
- On-device ML (in case of E2EE + Zero trust)

### Backend (Go + Echo)

- Serves APIs for file upload, metadata, sharing, and search.
- Detects if server-trusted mode is enabled and handles decrypted files accordingly.

### Storage (MinIo (S3-compatible ) / File system)

- Stores encrypted blobs in default mode.
- Can store decrypted content when server-trusted mode is active.

### Database Layer (SQLite / PostgreSQL)

- Stores metadata and encryption keys securely.
- Supports pluggable backends for scalability.

### AI + Semantic Search (Python + Qdrant + gRPC)

- Only has access to file content in server-trusted mode.
- Enables semantic search, tagging, and AI features when opted-in.

---
## 4. Why This Architecture?
- Privacy-first by default → E2EE ensures maximum data security.
- Feature-flexible → Users can opt-in for richer functionality.
- Modular & Scalable → Each component can be independently maintained, scaled, or replaced.
- Clear tradeoff → Users control their own security vs. convenience balance.

---
## 5. Roadmap & Vision

- Mobile clients (Flutter)
- Collaborative features with optional server-trusted mode
- AI-assisted file management
- Community plugins and extensions

---
## Conclusion

DriveLite’s architecture is privacy-first, flexible, and future-proof. By default, your data is encrypted and zero-trust, but if you want enhanced features like previews and AI search, you can opt-in to server-trusted mode.

This approach makes DriveLite stand out in the self-hosting ecosystem, offering both security-conscious users and feature-hungry users exactly what they need.

ZHCL — A Natural Language Compiler That Lets You Code in Your Own Words

## 🧠 ZHCL — 自然語言程式編譯器（Natural Language Compiler）

This is not a translator. This is not a prompt.
**This is a real compiler that takes traditional Chinese sentences as source code and generates valid, executable programs.**

---

### 🧩 What is ZHCL?

> A multi-target natural language compiler:
> You write code like this 👇

```zh
主函式 開始
輸出("你好世界")
結束

結束
Then it gets compiled to .c, .class, or .exe.

🚀 Key Features
Write programs in natural language (Traditional Chinese or English)

Output to C, JVM Bytecode (.class), or native executable

Works with math models, I/O, type resolution, _Generic

Self-contained CLI with --show-c, --emit-class, --strict flags

Built-in examples:

stonehenge.zh simulates Stonehenge solar alignment

kukulcan.zh simulates the serpent shadow of the Mayan pyramid

Fully open source (MIT)

📂 GitHub
👉https://github.com/Retryixagi/ZHCL
Contains:

Compiled binaries (CLI ready to use)

Examples written in .zh

Scientific simulations powered by natural language

🧪 Demo Example: Stonehenge
請輸入時間（年、月、日、時、分）
如果太陽仰角 ≈ 巨石陣對準角度，輸出「對準成功」


Yes, this is fully executable logic written in Chinese.

❤️ Why I made this?

Because programming should not be limited by syntax.
Because not everyone thinks in English.
Because language is the most powerful interface humans have — and compilers should honor that.

Let me know what you think.
If you want to help expand to other languages (like Japanese, French, etc.), feel free to PR or fork it.

🧠 I'm actively looking for collaborators, testers, and language contributors.

What is the best license for dual licensing (free + paid)?

I want to release my source code under a free license that requires attribution, but also offer a paid license where attribution is not required.

Which open source license should I choose as the base for this kind of dual licensing?

GPL v3 seem like a good fit for the free license. But I want your suggestions.

I just became a maintainer of a very popular project. What are the first things you think I should do?

Hello all,

My name is Nariman (verification: GitHub), and I just became one of the maintainers of a very popular project, http-server. If you're a JavaScript developer, you may already have used this module in your projects; if not, the goal of http-server is to give you a dead-simple static HTTP server, mostly used for local development.

I'm determined to improve this gem of the OSS community as best as I can. If you've been in a situation like this before, please let me know what some of the first things you would do. If you also have any feedback, feature requests, bugs, ... they are super welcome as well! Anything to help me make this project the best in the world :)

Traffic Monitor flagged as Trojan (WinNT/Winring0.G) – Safe to keep or uninstall?

I’m running into a security warning with Traffic Monitor

https://github.com/zhongyang219/TrafficMonitor

and I’m not sure how to handle it.

Windows Security Alert:

VulnerableDriver:WinNT/Winring0.G  
Alert level: Severe  
Status: Active  
Date: Sun 21-Sep-25 06:51 PM  
Category: Trojan  
Details: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker.  

Affected item:  
C:\TrafficMonitor_V1.85_x64\TrafficMonitor\TrafficMonitor.sys

I also noticed the CPU temperature readings stopped working about 3 days ago, which seems to line up with an issue mentioned in the GitHub repo:
https://github.com/zhongyang219/TrafficMonitor/issues

Now I’m stuck-should I uninstall Traffic Monitor completely?

The tough part is I’ve relied on it for years to monitor:

Upload/Download speeds
Memory usage
Total network speed
CPU usage
GPU usage
CPU/GPU temperature

And I really need the taskbar window display it provides.

Is there a safe alternative that gives the same features?

HelixDB - An open-source graph-vector database built in Rust

Hey r/opensource wanted to show off a project a college friend and I have been working on for the past 9 months

https://github.com/helixdb/helix-db

Why hybrid?
Vector DBs are great for semantic search (e.g., embeddings), while graph DBs are needed for representing relationships (e.g., people → projects → organisations). Certain RAG systems need both, but combining two separate databases can be a nightmare and hard-to-maintain.

HelixDB treats vectors as first-class types within a property graph model. Think of vector nodes connected to other nodes like in any graph DB, which allows you to traverse from a person to their documents to a semantically similar report in one query.

Currently we are on par with Pinecone and Qdrant for vector search and between 2 and 3 orders of magnitude faster than Neo4j.
As Rust developers, we were tired of the type ambiguity in most query languages. So we also built HelixQL, a type-safe query language that compiles into Rust code and runs as native endpoints. Traversals are functional (like Gremlin), the language is imperative, and the syntax is modelled after Rust with influences from Cypher and SQL. It’s schema-based, so everything’s type-checked up front.

Would love your feedback – especially from anyone who's worked on databases :)

BTW, GitHub stars are always appreciated :) https://github.com/helixdb/helix-db

How do you get traction for an open source i18n project?

I built an open source internationalization (i18n) tool that I think solves i18n way better than what’s out there. It’s free, will always stay free, and I honestly believe most devs who try it will prefer it.

The “business” side isn’t aimed at devs at all, the plan is to monetize through a CMS for marketers/designers/content people. Basically, devs never pay, and the whole point is to get translation work off our plate so we can focus on shipping features.

The problem: nobody really knows about it yet. I’m not looking to spam, but I’d like to get it in front of more developers so they can try it out and (hopefully) spread the word if they like it. So for anyone who’s grown an open source project before:

How did you get your first wave of users? Any good places to share this kind of project where people actually care? Any tips on making sure devs understand the monetization isn’t aimed at them? Curious to hear what worked (or didn’t work) for you.
