    Filament

    Filament

    Real-time physically based rendering engine for Android, iOS, and more

    Filament is a real-time physically-based renderer written in C++. It is mobile-first, but also multi-platform. We are very conscientious about keeping Filament small, fast to load, and focused on rendering. For example, Filament does not compile materials at run time. Instead, we provide a command line tool (matc) that does this offline. Filament is a physically based rendering (PBR) engine for Android. The goal of Filament is to offer a set of tools and APIs for Android developers that will enable them to create high quality 2D and 3D rendering with ease. For both artists and developers, our system will rely on as few parameters as possible to reduce trial and error and allow users to quickly master the material model. A physically based approach must not preclude non-realistic rendering. User interfaces for instance will need unlit materials. Our primary goal is to design and implement a rendering system able to perform efficiently on mobile platforms.

    Hilbish

    Hilbish

    The Moon-powered shell! A comfy and extensible shell for Lua fans

    Hilbish is an extensible shell designed to be highly customizable. It is configured in Lua and provides a good range of features. It aims to be easy to use for anyone but powerful enough for those who need it. The motivation for choosing Lua was that it's simpler and better to use than an old shell script. It's fine for basic interactive shell uses, but that's the only place Hilbish has shell script; everything else is Lua and aims to be infinitely configurable. Hilbish is configured and scripted in the Lua programming language. This removes all the old, ugly things about Shell script and introduces everything good about Lua, including other languages (Fennel, Lua derivatives). Hilbish provides the user with proper menus for completions and history usage. Want to see your previous commands? Hit Ctrl-R. Hilbish offers a bunch of features to make your interactive shell experience rich. Things like syntax highlighting and hinting available via the Lua API.

    Manticore

    Manticore

    Symbolic execution tool

    Manticore helps us quickly take advantage of symbolic execution, taint analysis, and instrumentation to analyze binaries. Parts of Manticore underpinned our symbolic execution capabilities in the Cyber Grand Challenge. As an open-source tool, we hope that others can take advantage of these capabilities in their own projects. We prioritized simplicity and usability while building Manticore. We used minimal external dependencies and our API should look familiar to anyone with exploitation or reversing background. If you have never used such a tool before, give Manticore a try. Manticore comes with an easy-to-use command line tool that quickly generates new program “test cases” (or sample inputs) with symbolic execution. Each test case results in a unique outcome when running the program, like a normal process exit or crash (e.g., invalid program counter, invalid memory read/write).

    Nativefier

    Nativefier

    Make any web page a desktop application

    Nativefier is a command-line tool designed to create a desktop app for any web site with minimal configuration. Apps are wrapped by Electron (using Chromium under the hood) in an OS executable (.app, .exe, etc) for use on Windows, macOS and Linux. Nativefier will try to determine the app name, and well as lots of other options. If desired, these options can be overwritten. For example, to override the name, nativefier --name 'My Medium App' 'medium.com' Read the API documentation or run nativefier --help to learn about other command-line flags usable to configure the packaged app. For a list of build commands contributed by the nativefier community take a look at the CATALOG.md file. Nativefier is also usable from Docker. You can pass Nativefier flags, and mount volumes to provide local files.

    ADR Tools

    ADR Tools

    Command-line tools for working with Architecture Decision Records

    A command-line tool for working with a log of Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). ADRs are stored in a subdirectory of your project as Markdown files. The default directory is doc/adr, but you can specify the directory when you initialize the ADR log. Create a directory named doc/architecture/decisions containing the first ADR, which records that you are using ADRs to record architectural decisions and links to Michael Nygard's article on the subject. Create a new ADR file that is flagged as superceding ADR 9, and changes the status of ADR 9 to indicate that it is superceded by the new ADR. It then opens the new ADR in your editor of choice.

    Hetzner k3s

    Hetzner k3s

    A CLI tool to install and manage Kubernetes clusters in Hetzner Cloud

    This is a CLI tool to quickly create and manage Kubernetes clusters in Hetzner Cloud using the lightweight Kubernetes distribution k3s from Rancher. Hetzner Cloud is an awesome cloud provider which offers a truly great service with the best performance/cost ratio in the market. With Hetzner's Cloud Controller Manager and CSI driver you can provision load balancers and persistent volumes very easily. k3s is my favorite Kubernetes distribution now because it uses much less memory and CPU, leaving more resources to workloads. It is also super quick to deploy because it's a single binary. Using this tool, creating a highly available k3s cluster with 3 masters for the control plane and 3 worker nodes takes a few minutes only. The tool assigns the label cluster to each server it creates for static node pools (this doesn't apply to autoscaled node pools), with the cluster name you specify in the config file, as the value.

It’s a pragmatic tool for teams who want faster visibility into configuration management outcomes with minimal overhead.
