Homebrew is a free and open-source package manager designed for macOS and Linux that simplifies installing and managing software from the command line. Often called “the missing package manager,” it provides tools and applications that are not included by default with the operating system. Homebrew installs packages into its own directory and safely symlinks them, keeping the system clean and organized. It uses simple commands like brew install to handle downloading, building, and updating software automatically. Under the hood, Homebrew is built on Git and Ruby, making it transparent, customizable, and easy to extend. It complements existing system tools and package managers, streamlining development and power-user workflows.

The MacPorts Project is an open-source community initiative to design an easy-to-use system for compiling, installing, and upgrading either command-line, X11 or Aqua based open-source software on macOS. New releases are no longer being uploaded here; please see the project web site at www.macports.org instead.

NSISBI aims to remove the current 2GB limit found in NSIS. This version adds support for using a separate file for storing the install data, therefore allowing installer sizes up to a theoretical max size of 8EB (this is controlled by NSIS_CONFIG_EXTERNAL_FILE_SUPPORT, this is turned on by default). On versions before 7069-1, the compiler (makensis) is designed to run on 64 bit machines as this is the feature needed to make installers bigger than 2GB. On versions before 7208-1, source files added to the installer are limited to 2GB per file (this is controlled by NSIS_CONFIG_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT, this is turned on by default). This project is the result of several different experiments focused on relieving the 2GB limit in NSIS, so it's still a work in progress. I'll try to keep it up to date with each major NSIS release.

Both forward-chaining and backward-chaining rules (which may include python code) are compiled into python. Can also automatically assemble python programs out of python functions which are attached to backward-chaining rules. See pyke.sourceforge.ne

Use Apache HBase™ when you need random, realtime read/write access to your Big Data. This project's goal is the hosting of very large tables, billions of rows X millions of columns, atop clusters of commodity hardware. Apache HBase is an open-source, distributed, versioned, non-relational database modeled after Google's Bigtable. A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data by Chang et al. Just as Bigtable leverages the distributed data storage provided by the Google File System, Apache HBase provides Bigtable-like capabilities on top of Hadoop and HDFS. Thrift gateway and a REST-ful Web service that supports XML, Protobuf, and binary data encoding options. Support for exporting metrics via the Hadoop metrics subsystem to files or Ganglia; or via JMX. Convenient base classes for backing Hadoop MapReduce jobs with Apache HBase tables.

Messaging patterns including publish/subscribe, request/reply and streaming. Financial grade transactional message. Built-in fault tolerance and high availability configuration options base on DLedger. A variety of cross language clients, such as Java, C/C++, Python, Go. Pluggable transport protocols, such as TCP, SSL, AIO. Built-in message tracing capability, also support opentracing. Versatile big-data and streaming ecosytem integration. Message retroactivity by time or offset. Reliable FIFO and strict ordered messaging in the same queue. Efficient pull and push consumption model. Million-level message accumulation capacity in a single queue. Multiple messaging protocols like JMS and OpenMessaging. Flexible distributed scale-out deployment architecture. Lightning-fast batch message exchange system.

Pluggable foundation blocks for building loosely coupled distributed apps. Includes implementations in Redis, Azure, AWS, RabbitMQ and in memory (for development). When building several big cloud applications we found a lack of great solutions (that's not to say there aren't solutions out there) for many key pieces to building scalable distributed applications while keeping the development experience simple. Wanted to build against abstract interfaces so that we could easily change implementations. Wanted the blocks to be dependency injection friendly. We were initially using an open-source Redis cache client but then it turned into a commercial product with high licensing costs. Not only that but there weren't any in-memory implementations so every developer was required to set up and configure Redis. We initially looked at NServiceBus (a great product) but it had high licensing costs (they have to eat too) and was not OSS friendly.

Pholcus is a high-concurrency crawler software written in pure Go language that supports distributed, only used for programming learning and research. It supports three operating modes of stand-alone, server and client, and has three operating interfaces, Web, GUI, and command line; simple and flexible rules, concurrent batch tasks, and rich output methods (mysql/mongodb/kafka/csv/excel, etc.); In addition, it also supports horizontal and vertical grabbing modes, and a series of advanced functions such as simulated login and task suspension and cancellation. This software is only used for academic research, users need to abide by the relevant laws and regulations of their location, please do not use it for illegal purposes! Provide users with a certain Go or JS programming foundation with a heavyweight crawler tool that only needs to pay attention to rule customization and complete functions.

OpenUEM is an open-source inventory tool that allows you to manage your IT assets thanks to its agents and a clean and concise web user interface. OpenUEM is based on open-source or free tools that are battle-tested to avoid re-inventing the wheel. It allows you to keep track of your IT assets using agents installed on your Windows, Linux (Debian and RedHat based distributions) and MacOS endpoints and provides features like remote file browsing, getting Windows Update and Antivirus status, deploying software via WinGet/Flatpak/Brew, remote assistance with VNC or RDP… OpenUEM server components can be installed in a humble desktop machine with Windows 10 Home, Debian/Ubuntu Linux or any Docker powered environment. If you run a medium-sized or large company, you can use beefier machines and share the load as it has been designed to have distributed components. It can be classified too as a Remote Monitoring and Managing (RMM) or as a Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) tool.
