Video editor alternatives

I am looking for free and open source alternatives for video editors, since I just want to be able to cut some clips, join them together and put background music and maybe add some images on the top, but not really complicated editing stuff.

I have seen Open shot but the UI does not really encourage me, I wished something like OpenCut was maintained but seems to be dead, so I would appreciate if you guys could help me with some ideas to do this.

A plus would be to have Docker container to edit through a Web UI and having the video in the server, but that is not a must!!

Dead simple, URL Shortener with Python ASGI (erd.sh)

I built a tiny URL shortener as a real-world example for the [MicroPie](https://patx.github.io/micropie) ASGI framework.

It’s intentionally minimal:
- No tracking or analytics
- No ads
- No accounts
- Just short links and redirects

The entire implementation lives in the MicroPie repo as an example app. It shows off how simple apps and middlewares can be implemented.

Source: https://github.com/patx/micropie/tree/main/examples/url_shortener

Feedback welcome — especially from people who’ve built similar tools, let's be honest who hasn't written one of these at one point.

Anyway I have a short domain name I own and figured this would be a good use for it so there ya go [erd.sh](https://erd.sh) is MicroPie's own live demo app. You can test it out, I will keep it online permanently (or as long as it gets any use) and free for everyone to use. Use it don't use it, try to break it, go nuts! Cheers.

Pipetron | An Electron audio stream manager for PipeWire

Hello! I just wanted to share my first "officially released" opensource project.

My motivation for building this project in the first place was to fix the annoying problem with Electron apps' audio streams within pavucontrol or other audio control apps. All electron apps would always show up as "Chromium" with the chromium icon despite all being different apps. Another issue was that WirePlumber also couldn't differentiate the different electron apps, and always resets all electron apps to the same volume setting. If you ever found these issues also annoying, this project might be for you!

If it isn't already obvious enough, this app is for Linux only (and really, only Linux has any use for this app). It's currently only tested for Arch Linux (and is also on the AUR), so if you are interested, I would really appreciate if you could test out on your machines and distros as well!

Please check out the repos for more info.

FYI: WinDirStat is VERY fast now!

For decades, I've been using WinDirStat to narrow down what my disk storage is spent on, and I've always loved its minimalist yet highly visually informative interface. But the one and only complaint about it over the last several years is that it was slow compared to other proprietary software, and it was very slow...


Well, that's definitely not the case anymore. I was able to scan a mid range Samsung 870 EVO 4TB SSD with 1.2% empty space (98.8% full!) in less than two seconds. Then, in under 10 seconds, it scanned 16.1TB of data from a SMB network share on a ZFS array over a 2.5Gb connection.


This is a tremendous improvement over a few years ago when I last updated the app, and the performance over a network share is simply amazing....


I'm not affiliated with the project at all, and I can't say when exactly this performance improvement happened. I haven't heard of, and cant really find any news of this update, so please don't flame me for being old news. Just trying to inform folks! :D


Also, this is a Windows application only. On my linux machines specifically use NCDU.

Just open sourced my 6 month bastion host project

Hello r/opensource !

I’ve been working on **Orion-Belt** privately for about 6 months now. It’s a self-hosted Privileged Access Management (PAM) system I built to solve some specific infrastructure headaches in my own environment.

I decided to build this because I hit a wall with the current options:

* **The Teleport Struggle:** I tried Teleport Community Edition, but it felt too stripped down for my needs. More importantly, it was a nightmare to get running on my **Alpine-based home lab**—I couldn't get it to compile or run reliably on such a lightweight setup.
* **The "Enterprise Tax":** Most other PAM solutions are either locked behind massive price tags or are missing the basic features that make a PAM actually useful for a private setup.

Orion-Belt is my attempt to fill that gap with something that actually respects your hardware and is fully open-sourced.

After extensive development and testing, I decided to open source it by porting everything to a fresh repo.

**What it does:**

* Reverse SSH tunnel architecture - agents connect outbound to central gateway (no inbound firewall rules needed on your servers)
* Full SSH/SCP proxying with session recording
* Every keystroke and file transfer logged for audit trails
* Custom CLI tools (osh for ssh, ocp for scp)
* REST API for automation
* Relationship based access control with temporary access workflows
* Agnostic database backend ( PSQL is implemented for now with the possibility to implement more databases using the interface )

Built entirely in Go. Been running this on my own infrastrucure and the session replay feature alone has saved me countless hours when troubleshooting.

**Current state:**

This is **v0.2.0** \- core functionality is solid. SSH sessions work, file transfers work, recording and playback works.

Still have some features on the roadmap like MFA/TOTP and SSH certificate authority but wanted to get this out there ( check the ROADMAP in docs ).

**Looking for:**

**Contributors** who are into systems programming, security tooling, or just want to help build something useful.

Also open to feedback on architecture decisions and feature requests that would make this more valuable for your use cases.

Github: [https://github.com/zrougamed/orion-belt.git](https://github.com/zrougamed/orion-belt.git)

Happy to answer questions about implementation details, deployment, or how things work under the hood. I've been testing on Alpine Linux and Debian based VMs mostly but it should work on any linux distro.

New to open source, need guidance selecting issues

So, I am going to start my open source contribution journey for GSoC 2026. When I look at the issues in repositories, I get confused which kind of issues I need to select and which kind of issues I need to avoid.

I see in almost all of the issues which are open, somebody has done pull requests or done some minor changes. Should I still contribute there?

Even if few issues exists which are new or untouched, it won't take much time someone to work on it.

What should I do man??

NOThub — GitHub‑style profile, but the “green squares” are your daily dev checklist (fully open source)

Hey everyone,
Building NOThub: a GitHub‑inspired profile/dashboard for solo students and beginner devs—but instead of showing commit contributions, the profile heatmap shows daily checklist tracking (learning, coding, notes, tests, planning, etc.).
The goal is to help people stay consistent and prove progress even when the work isn’t always public code (reading docs, debugging, planning, studying). Each day has a “Daily Entry” where you tick a checklist, set 1–3 goals, add short notes/blockers, and write the next step for tomorrow. Over time, your profile becomes a portfolio of consistency.
There will also be a small local CLI called not to log faster:
• not check (today’s checklist)
• not note "..." (quick notes)
• not start/stop (focus session timer)
• not sync (sync entries when online)
Important: this will be a fully open source project (code, issues, roadmap, docs), and contributions are welcome from day 1.


If you’re interested in contributing (frontend, backend, CLI, design), comment what you’d like to help with and what stack you
