Friend’s Projects
Fossbench
Fossbench is a simple accurate open source benchmarking software. They have a site for results @fossbench.net.
Wii Linux
I’m only mutual friends with him but I thought I’d put this here because it’s really cool! Techflash is a wizard with low level programming.
0druid.cc
It may be druid.rocks by now. Druid is a friend of mine and a low level programmer. He’s done projects where he made kernels, hosted DNS, NTP, IRC, and other various services. That’s his website where whatever he is currently doing will be at.
NetWasp
From the website “netwasp is a suckless git forge managed by soft serve”. I happen to have ssh access even tho I’m not a crazy programmer :D
Other cool projects / software
Maclean
Maclean is in the AUR under maclean-git. It’s just a temp files & cache cleaning CLI tool, but it’ll get you back a surprising amount of space. Obviously it doesn’t run in the background and isn’t heavy at all like some cleaners I’ve seen.
Obscura VPN
Obscura is a really cool VPN. You gernerate an anonymous account number and load it with various, some being anonymous, payment methods. That’s how you register & login. That alone isn’t unusual, Mullvad does the same thing right? This is the cool part, Obscura is layered with Mullvad exit nodes. So your traffic is encrypted from you to the Mullvad exit node with the Obscura node acting as a relay in between. The reason this is beneficial is because you are ‘pretty’ anonymous to the obscura node, but they know your original IP, OS, etc. They have access to information they could use to tie it to you even though they claim they don’t log it like Mullvad. But because you connect to the Mullvad exit node through the Obscura relay you stay 100% anonymous to the exit node. Meaning sites you visit and your traffic is entirely untied to an identity. All the exit node knows is it’s connected to Obscura, and all Obscura knows is that you connected.
