Anyone going to All Things Open Next Week?

All Things Open is one of the largest open-source conferences in the US. Anyone going?

Some really cool speakers and events (and quite a few after parties)

https://2025.allthingsopen.org/

I'll be there with the rest of the r/llamafarm team (we are local, so we're happy to give recommendations, etc.). Would love to get together with other teams or folks if you are going.

Should I Trust Open Source Apps for Privacy?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been looking for an open-source alternative to Manus and came across quite a few options. But it got me thinking, how safe are these projects for privacy?

I don’t really understand coding, and I can’t imagine that the average community member combs through the entire codebase to verify privacy practices. So how can I be sure that my data isn’t being collected, stored, or potentially breached when I grant permissions to such apps?

Do you trust open-source apps with your data? How do you personally verify their privacy standards?

Is there a OS that supports my galaxy tab A Sm-t510

As noscript. I want to install a FOSS OS on my tablet as performance has started to backslide and I'd like to play around with it. Any suggestions for what officially (prefered) or unoffically, supports my device?

Looking for Free & Open Source Adobe Commerce B2B Alternative

Hi all

I’m seeking a free, open source alternative to Adobe Commerce for a B2B eCommerce project. Key features I need include:

* Company accounts with multiple users
* Custom pricing/catalogs per customer
* Quote requests & price negotiation
* Bulk ordering & quick order forms
* Strong API support

Adobe Commerce offers these, but is too expensive for my needs. I’ve seen options like OroCommerce, Bagisto, and Saleor any thoughts or experiences using them for B2B?

Thanks

Built a Discord bot to track standup attendance because spreadsheets are for people with patience

Our team does daily standups in Discord. Every week someone asks "who's been skipping?" and I'd check my spreadsheet like it's 2010.

So I built Sir Standsalot - a bot that tracks voice channel attendance automatically and accepts async updates for people who think 9 AM is a war crime.

Does the boring stuff:

* Tracks who shows up to voice standups
* Reads async updates (Yesterday:/Today: format)
* Generates reports without passive-aggressive commentary (unfortunately)

Why the weird name? Team joke. The monocle was non-negotiable.

Open source, Python, works with Docker. Turns out I'm not the only one who hates attendance admin work.

GitHub: [Sir-Standsalot](https://github.com/tsensei/Sir-Standsalot)

If you're manually tracking Discord standup attendance, this might save you 10 minutes a week. Which you'll probably spend on Reddit anyway.

Anyone using Aiven for managed open source?

Just found out about Aiven, here's the link if you want to visit it AIVEN.IO, they run open-source stuff like Postgres, Kafka, Redis, and ClickHouse as managed services across AWS/GCP/Azure. They even have a “bring your own cloud account” option. Curious if anyone here has tried it, how’s the performance and cost compared to just using RDS/BigQuery/etc.?

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

Hey, do you remember me? I'm working on a small side project called RemoveMD — a privacy tool 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. After releasing the website and the local version, I’m now happy to announce that the RemoveMD Chrome extension is finally available
It allows you to access the tool directly from your browser, so you can clean your files before sharing them online — quickly, privately, and for free. RemoveMD is fully open source, with a local version you can host yourself (available on GitHub) — with no limitations and no ads.
As always, there are no ads, and accounts are completely anonymous — created from a hash, with no email required, and you can make as many as you want.

You can find the new Chrome extension here:

EzAntiAntiCheat

Hi everyone,

I’m working on EzAntiAntiCheat (NOT AN GENERAL PURPOSE PROGRAM), an open-source project designed for research and experimentation with kernel-level anti-cheat systems. Its purpose is to provide a safe framework for studying and managing situations where aggressive anti-cheat software interferes with each other, such as conflicts between Riot Vanguard and other anti-cheat platforms.

The project is fully open-source on GitHub: https://github.com/PalorderSoftWorksOfficial/EzAntiAntiCheat

I’m looking for contributors interested in: • Kernel driver development • System-level security research • Safe experimentation with software conflicts and aggressive protection mechanisms • Documentation, testing, and tooling improvements

Notes: • This project is intended purely for research and educational purposes. • It is not designed to bypass or disable anti-cheat systems for gameplay. • Improper use may render software unusable; please use responsibly.

Contributions, feedback, and collaboration are very welcome! If this post violates community rules please contact me instead of instantly banning me from the subreddit so i can fix the post from the issue! Extra Note: EzAntiAntiCheat completely wipes the anti cheat driver and if its gone the game might reinstall or crash as an fail safe. Please private message me on reddit to contribute.

stagDB: Open Source Database Manager for Postgres with instant branching

I'm a backend dev who has built out more than a fair share of scaled out products. The biggest pain point for me used to be testing with real data - which would invariably get polluted if I wasn't careful. Testing migrations was a pain.

To this end, I build stagDB with a superpower - instant data branching. Now, it's possible to test out migrations by creating a replica with filled-in data instantly.

I released it a few weeks ago, and looking for feedback. Please do try it and let me know.

Open source has been polluted.

Folks who used to update READMEs are now flooding projects with AI-generated PRs, begging for assignments, and spamming maintainers for approvals - without understanding a single line of code.
Maintainers deserve better.

Sorry to say, but 99% of these people are from a specific country.

Open source zip explorer with quick look support for mac

If you work with a lot of zip files but don't need to unzip the whole zip, then this project might help you. Grizzly comes with quick look support for each individual file, right inside the zip and has some pretty cool keyboard shortcutes as well. I tried searching for good and simple zip explorers but couldn't find a good one, so I built one myself. My colleague loves it, i guess you might find it useful.
