stalwart: all-in-one mail server

github.com/stalwartlabs/mail-server

May be a replacement for a current postfix+dovecot+rspamd+L+ratio setup. Notably supports JMAP, although most clients don’t anyways.

126.

telescope-ast-grep.nvim: AST grep extension for telescope.nvim

github.com/ray-x/telescope-ast-grep.nvim

Uses ast-grep, so tree-sitter, not LSP, but still potentially useful.

123.

nix-output-monitor: fun build progress display

github.com/maralorn/nix-output-monitor

trippy: A network diagnostic tool

github.com/fujiapple852/trippy

Looks super cool, I’ll have to remember it when I next need to do network diagnostics.

119.

srgn: tree-sitter-aware text replacement tool

github.com/alexpovel/srgn

Looks useful, although I don’t remember any context in which it would be useful. Worth a try anyway.

118.

Best-Effort Extent-Same, a btrfs dedupe agent

github.com/Zygo/bees

Probably useful if I ever run out of disk space.

116.

Sjlver/psst: Paper-based Secret Sharing Technique

voidlizard/hbs2: P2P CAS / P2P Framework / Distributed GIT

github.com/voidlizard/hbs2

A distributed network that allows you to add host-independent repo identifier as a git origin. Looks like it worth a try, especially with sr.ht being down and Codeberg half-broken because of a DDoS attack.

ast-grep | structural search/rewrite tool for many languages

ast-grep.github.io

Treesitter-based AST search-and-replace. Supports lints via saved patterns, LSP diagnostics + quick fixes and a regular CLI. Sounds pretty cool for custom lints.
