I have a Dreame PCB breakout adaptor for Valetudo. It's a spare, not soldered.

I don't have a button but I should have the other parts needed.

Free to whomever needs it within Canada. I'll ship it, send me a private message. :)

Also to those more tech savyy than me wants to cross post this post for more visibility, that would be great. (Yes I see the irony.)

I just got the new rclone version v1.74.0. It got a new gui command (rclone gui) that runs a web based gui. Its awesome. You can interact with all kinds of storage in it and edit all of your local configs. Since it is web based, you can also use the gui on a remote server and simply tunnel the port via ssh to your local machine.

Its always good to try!

I built a 90.7kb tool that strips out Windows screen capture protection, but now I am concerned about whether I should make it open source. I'm worried it can be misused for piracy or to violate DRM policies.

I built it because I had a piece of software that wouldn't let me copy text. I tried using Windows OCR to copy it, but it just showed a black screen.

The tool is great for personal use, but it can be misused, so I am concerned. Any thoughts on this? Will I get into legal trouble if I make it public on GitHub?

I don't want to get into any trouble, so I need expert advice from someone who is experienced.

I know it doesn't look great in comparison to the proprietary but I do love seeing Nouveau continue to progress regardless and being positive about the progress

It is not my project.

I was looking for a lite version of Zed IDE without AI integrations, collab feature, telemetry etc and suddenly found it ^_^

I didn't test it excessively yet, but definitely give a try.

If you already tried it, please share your opinions.

service-lookup lets you automatically port forward all the required Kubernetes pods that you need for local testing and updating your URIs in property YAML files recursively.

It is now also configurable, lets you automatically revert the files after cleanup, and caches namespaces for performance improvement.

~~Or Jetris for that matter? I'm kind of surprised that there isn't some sort of OS Tetris clone on F-Droid (TTTris, I think, is still there but it's incompatible with my phone and hasn't been updated in 14 years!).~~

~~I saved the apk for Jetris after it disappeared from F-Droid, but can't install it on my device. I'm not a programmer, but is there anything I can do to the code to get it to work?~~

Son of a partisan smuggler. Been writing open source digital signage software for 15+ years. Apparently I'm the only one in that niche who actually talks about it.

Currently somewhere. Move when the mood hits.

I’m trying to understand which licensing model makes the most sense for small personal tools — not as products, but as experiments to learn how to distribute software before working on a larger project.

To explore this, I released a tiny utility as source‑available rather than fully open‑source. The code is visible, but the license is restrictive. GitHub here works only as a landing page, not as a full FOSS repo.

Here’s the project I’m using as a test case (not promoting it — just showing the model I’m experimenting with): https://github.com/Mietkiewski/MPomidoro

My goal isn’t to push the tool itself — it’s just a way to understand how people interpret these categories:

Is source‑available meaningfully different from closed‑source?

Do you expect small tools to default to open‑source?

Does hosting something on GitHub imply a FOSS expectation?

For someone planning a larger ecosystem later, which model is the most reasonable starting point?

I’m genuinely trying to understand how open‑source communities see these distinctions before I commit to a long‑term direction.
