Usefull Open Source software, vibe coded in Rust

Open each project, on the right side click on "releases", then click on the version you want for Linux or Win or...
Several packages for Linux usually, so choose first for aarch if using Raspberry PI, or X86_64 as .deb or as .appimage, where appimage does not install just make it executable in permissions and double click, or use the deb to install with gdebi.
Did not test, just downloaded all as they might disappear since they are all free versions of very expensive software from a very nasty company.

This is amazing, thank you for sharing!

There seems to be another version out, but much more limited than this.
From what little info i gathered, this works fine, but of course might have issues, like picture rendering might now always be the exact same as in the paid version.

Archived, thank you.

Several years back i built a NAS, so now i just dump stuff into it, hence the "archived".

Same here. When I was new on Github I thought I could fork a project to my account to archive it. Nope one day I came back and discovered my unchanged fork had vanished along with the original author's interesting project.

Now it is:
cd into my NAS
git clone

Within the space of 10 days, there is an embryonic clone of Fusion bubbling away. No CAM yet - but give it time (another week??!).



What is staggering is how rapidly this stuff is coming out - and almost from nowhere.

And on a slightly different note, if you do your own circuit and PCB design, there are some pretty interesting tools coming along, also free to use:



Give these tools another year or two and they will become much more robust and dependable. Exciting times!

There is another version of the electronics stuff that also does boards and routing, but still in infancy, getting interesting for sure.
Damn it, i wasted countless days doing electronics when i was young, had to wait till summer to go to Croatia to buy parts and books and magazines, yet it never stopped me from doing ... everything. Youth today can not figure out how to open a barn door!
But can easily figure out how to press 20-30 times on random stuff on the phone to start a useless game!

GitHub is property of microsoft, and as luck would have i bumped today on a project that no longer exists there.
Bit by bit disappearing... and being used in windows as proprietary code. As is over 60% of win11, 45% of win10, etc etc from the network portion of Linux showed into win2k back then.

@Muzzer introducing Hydrogen electronics prototyping.
Now THAT blows my mind.   Finally I run into an ai project that genuinely shocks me. I have spent many hours designing PCBs using KiCAD. Seeing the Hydrogen capabilities nearly makes my hair stand on end. I might cautiously try it out sometime.
Exciting times!

I think now I better understand some professional software developers' reactions to the ai craze, now that I personally see ai help draw a PCB. Can ai really get it right? That fast?

Just today someone showed me a video of the latest Tesla car. Almost like science fiction but it is for real.
