Free Software on Reddit

I saw lots of Disk Space Analyzer and Cleaner with > $10 price, which are basically a good interface for your Mac native storage. I built SpareDisk over the last few weeks, kept it bare minimum in terms of bloat features but focused on speed, parallelism, and queue management for storage scan and space free up. You can review your whole file system without hanging the computer. Version 1.1 is live on Mac app store (1.2 is live on website download.) I have tested it well over multiple laptops. You can download the app from the website for "pay whatever you want" (minimum $4.99). The code is open-source, MIT licensed: if you can compile, you can use it for free :) DiskBuddy has inspired the project. This was initially sold at $12, and users complained about memory leaks, permission issues, and app blocks when you run Duplicate File Finder. If you are a developer, it can find spaces occupied by Xcode, node packages, files form 2021, and many old cache you don't need. SpareDisk is App Store friendly(App is pending for review). It is sandboxed, following Apple's permission guidelines and memory optimisation. SpareDisk V1.2 includes: My Mac storage overview with live used and free space Treemap, sunburst and list views Folder, external drive and network share scans Large files, older files and file type breakdowns Developer caches: Xcode, simulators, Homebrew, npm and more Duplicates verified by file contents, extra copies staged in one step App removal, related data and leftovers from removed apps File size and size on disk, changes since your previous scan Search, filters, exclusions, Quick Look and keyboard navigation Review queue with live progress, rechecks and retry Cleanup history and a Trash total that follows what you moved Optional menu bar summary and finished-scan notifications No account. No uploads. Your files stay on your Mac. On cleaning space: You can view your files from the app itself, and it doesn't directly delete your files in one click. It sends them to "review cleanup" section from where you can move items to Trash. You only delete files when you clean the trash. Exception is App uninstall (if the app is not running, you can uninstall the app from within the interface). Full disclosure: App is also available as 'Pay whatever you want (minimum $4.99)' for the Apple notorized app you can download after web checkout. All future updates will be on Website and Mac App store downloads. You can also download the app from website: https://sparedisk.minilabs.cc/ (V1.2 is live) Source code is on Github: https://github.com/0xdevrel/sparedisk Please leave star on the repo, it will be very helpful! submitted by /u/lazykid07 [link] [comments]

Hello everyone! I'm new to the community, and first of all, I'd like to say hello to everyone! After spending a year as a DevOps engineer at a traditional company. The feeling that I want my work to make a meaningful difference has taken hold of me, and now I’m looking for a community where I can contribute as an intern, doing whatever it takes to be helpfu. The thing is, I can’t seem to find many options. Does anyone know of any initiatives or communities they’d like to share? If not, could someone share some tips on how to find communities or initiatives? Thanks in advance. Best regards submitted by /u/Dreams_Walker_ [link] [comments]

I would like to share a project I have been working on called Alenia Nerve. This project started from a personal need: I wanted two applications on my PC to communicate and transfer data automatically. To achieve this, I developed a .nrv container format that allows packaging and password-protecting files. Later, I faced another challenge: I use [Windows]() and [Linux]() on different machines, and transferring large files between them was cumbersome. Uploading to the cloud or using USB drives was inconvenient for big files. That’s why I developed the LAN functionality in Nerve, which enables direct file transfers between devices on the same local network without requiring Internet access. Currently, the software supports Windows, Linux, [macOS](), and [Android]() (via [Termux]()). Key features include: Packaging and protecting files and directories with the .nrv format. Streaming transfers to avoid loading entire large files into memory. Integrity verification to ensure data is not corrupted. Upcoming features like resumable transfers, deduplication, and improved recovery mechanisms to make large transfers more reliable. The goal is not to build another cloud storage service but to enable simple, direct, and secure data transfers between my own devices when they are on the same network. The project is free and open-source, available on [GitHub]() for anyone interested in trying it, contributing, or adapting it: I welcome any feedback or suggestions to improve the project. submitted by /u/Globover [link] [comments]

I wish for an app where I can set a target temperature and it will alert me when the outdoor temperature reaches my target (via weather data), so that I can close my house windows on a summer morning when the temperature starts to get too warm. I'd even be happy regardless if the app were for a Windows PC tray freeware or a free Android phone app. Does anyone know if such an app exists?

Dear all, I’m a 100% supporter of Free Software, but for various reasons I have always ended up using non-free software. In many cases, this was simply because commercial software offered better GUIs, more polished workflows, or features that were missing from free alternatives. However, things are changing dramatically with LLMs. In particular, by using Claude Code, I have been able to develop many of the tools and user interfaces I actually need, almost by myself. I can design the interface the way I want, add the features that are important to me, and adapt the software to my own workflow. At some point, I realized that many of the commercial tools I used to depend on were simply no longer necessary. This makes me think that, as a Free Software community, we now have a new and powerful opportunity. One of the historical weaknesses of Free Software has often been the lack of polished GUIs, integrated workflows, and user-oriented features. With AI-assisted development, we may finally have the tools to overcome these limitations and build software that is not only free, but also genuinely competitive with commercial alternatives. I believe that only a different kind of society can fully unleash the potential of humanity through Free Software, but AI could give our community an important advantage: we can develop more easy these tools collectively and spread the knowledge and the software much faster. For example, most of my professional needs(now student of engineering) involve CAD and FEM software. In the past, this meant paying thousands of euros every year for commercial licenses. Now I have developed my own FEM software and other tools, and I can connect them together exactly as I need. It is honestly amazing. So I’m wondering: what do you think? Could AI-assisted development be the opportunity for the Free Software community to finally overcome some of the weaknesses that have historically made people choose proprietary software? submitted by /u/ProductOutrageous712 [link] [comments]

I've been working on a project called rjest, basically an attempt to rebuild Jest in Rust. The goal isn't to make another JS test runner with a completely different API. I'm actually trying to stay as close as possible to Jest, so ideally you can take an existing project using Jest and run it with rjest without rewriting half of your tests. A lot of the core stuff is already working: expect/matchers, snapshots, mocks, fake timers, config, CLI, etc. Compatibility is probably the hardest part tbh. Jest has a LOT of behavior that you don't really notice until you try to recreate it. I'm currently testing rjest against real React/Jest projects too, not only small artificial test cases, because passing your own tests doesn't mean much if it breaks as soon as you throw a normal project at it. The reason for Rust is pretty simple: I wanted to see how much of the test runner/runtime work can be moved to native code while still keeping the Jest experience developers already know. It's still a work in progress and there are definitely things that dont work yet, especially some edge cases around mocks, ESM and timers. Repo: https://github.com/OthmaneBlial/rjest Would be interested to know what people using Jest everyday think about this. Especially if there are some weird Jest behaviors/packages you think I should test against. submitted by /u/stackattackpro [link] [comments]

Two of us just graduated and we kept firing off half-typed terminal commands with voice dictation, so we built our own. Hold a key, talk, let go, and the text lands at your cursor. Everything runs on your Mac. No account, nothing sent anywhere. The main thing it does that others don't: it checks which app you're in before typing a line break, so saying "new paragraph" won't submit an unfinished command in a terminal or send a half-written message. Free and open source, MIT licensed. Apple Silicon, macOS 14+. https://github.com/Nabzx/openstream Happy to hear what breaks. P.S. if you find it useful, a star on the repo helps more people find it. no worries if not, feedback is worth more anyway. submitted by /u/ImportantTiger9568 [link] [comments]

Hello folks! I would like to share an update about BentoPDF. It's an open source privacy first PDF toolkit that runs in your browser. https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf 1. You can now actually edit text inside PDFs BentoPDF now allows you to click existing text, edit it, and have the text reflow while preserving the original fonts and styling. It also includes: - Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, superscript, subscript, font family/size, colours, outlines, character spacing and line spacing - Left, centre, right and justified alignment - Bulleted and numbered lists with indentation - RTL and LTR text alignment - Find and replace across the document - Edit images by rotating, flipping, duplicating, resizing or deleting them - Object alignment, distribution, rotation, flipping, duplication Please note this is a work in progress. You may encounter bugs, which you can report and I will look into. 2. Hyper Compress Hyper is an open source PDF compression engine built to solve specific problems. - Compression sometimes returns a file larger than the original. Hyper's result is always binary: it either produces a smaller PDF or returns the original. This helps create predictable workflows. - Hyper includes a true lossless mode. It preserves searchable text, document structure and PDF conformance, rather than rebuilding the document from scratch like Ghostscript. - It runs everywhere: CLI, Node SDK, C API, self hosted service, and WebAssembly build. Repository and benchmarks: https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf-hyper-compress I also compared it to Adobe's compression API, but only managed around 100 PDFs where results were within 5%. Testing on a bigger corpus got expensive. 3. Kura Kura is a PDF standards, conversion and preflight engine. It supports: - All 11 PDF/A conformance levels: PDF/A-1a, PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2a, PDF/A-2b, PDF/A-2u, PDF/A-3a, PDF/A-3b, PDF/A-3u, PDF/A-4, PDF/A-4e and PDF/A-4f - Accessibility: PDF/UA-1 and PDF/UA-2 - Print production: PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4, PDF/X-4p, PDF/X-5g, PDF/X-5n and PDF/X-5pg - Engineering and variable data printing: PDF/E-1 and PDF/VT - E-invoices: Factur-X, ZUGFeRD, XRechnung and Order-X - 396 bundled print-preflight profiles It has been tested against several standards suites, including the veraPDF corpus, Isartor, BFO, Ghent Output Suite 5.0, the PDF/UA Reference Suite and Cal Poly's PDF/VT suite. Across 30,677 PDF conversions it had zero crashes and zero timeouts, with a 0.05 second median conversion time. Like Hyper, it ships as a CLI, C library, npm package, Docker image and WebAssembly build. Repository and benchmarks: https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf-kura The release also contains other improvements and bug fixes: https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf/releases/tag/v2.8.8 Thank you and have a great weekend! submitted by /u/paglaulta [link] [comments]

Wednesday thread for the requests that don't deserve their own post. If you've been searching for something and coming up empty, describe it here. One line is genuinely enough, you don't need to write a spec. Two things that make a request much easier to answer: whether you've already tried something and it fell over, and whether free is a hard requirement. That second one changes the answer completely and half the requests in here leave it out. If you've got an answer for someone else, that's worth more than another request. And if you asked something here in the last couple of weeks that never got a reply, drop the link below and I'll have another go at it. submitted by /u/NeuralNomad87 [link] [comments]

AI, Programming, and the Dependency We Are Creating Hello, how are you? Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening. For the past few days, I’ve been seeing TikToks, posts, and comments in different places, and there’s something I’m seeing more and more often: someone posts anything related to programming, a program, or a piece of code, and the first comment is almost always: “AI made it.” Look, not everyone uses AI to program. And honestly, it gets tiring seeing people who don’t even take the time to look at a repository before assuming that everything was generated by AI. I’m not against AI. Quite the opposite: I think it’s an incredible tool and that it can help tremendously. The problem, from my point of view, is the dependency we are starting to develop around it. Is AI helping us learn, or is it doing the work for us? I studied Psychology and Education, although my passion ended up being much more closely related to programming. That’s why I tend to look at this subject from both sides. And precisely because of that, I have a fairly critical position regarding how some people are starting to use AI to learn programming. AI can make you much more productive. That’s undeniable. It can help you research, explain concepts, find errors, suggest solutions, or even speed up repetitive tasks. But there is a difference between using it as a tool and completely depending on it. Nowadays, there are people who are just starting to program and practically can’t even write an import without asking an AI first. For any small change, they consult it again. For any error, the same thing. For any new function, once again, AI. And that’s where I think we have a problem. I think it’s fantastic that, thanks to these tools, more people can get into programming from home without having to pay for extremely expensive courses or spend years studying for a degree. But the fact that an AI can write code for you doesn’t automatically mean that you know how to program. AI also has limitations Another thing that is often forgotten is that AI is not an omniscient entity. It depends on the context available to it, the instructions it receives, the information it can analyze, and the tools it has access to. This becomes even more obvious in large projects. If you start a new conversation, you have to provide the context again. If you want it to review an entire project, you need to give it enough information for it to understand the architecture. And the larger the project becomes, the harder it can be to maintain all that context efficiently. There are also well-known problems such as hallucinations, misunderstandings, unnecessary code, changes that break other parts of the project, and solutions that appear to work but don’t actually address the underlying problem. That’s why I don’t believe AI is a replacement for human knowledge. We have experience, memory, judgment, intuition, the ability to understand the context of a situation, and, above all, we can develop a deep understanding of what we are building. AI can be extremely useful, but it is still a tool. So, how should we use it? For me, a good example is JARVIS and Iron Man. Tony Stark doesn’t simply say: “JARVIS, make me this.” He understands what he is building, knows what he wants to achieve, gives specific instructions, and uses JARVIS as an extension of his own capabilities. I think that should be one of the approaches we take with AI. Instead of saying: “Build this application for me.” We could ask: “How can I implement this?” Or: “I’m trying to achieve this result. What options do I have?” Or even: “Explain why my code is failing and what I should check.” The difference may seem small, but for someone who is learning, it can be huge. If AI explains something to you and you read it, research it, test it, and understand what it did, you are learning. If you simply copy and paste everything it gives you without knowing what it does, you are outsourcing your learning. The problem with generated code you don’t understand I’ve also seen projects that start with a simple idea and end up accumulating: scripts that nobody uses anymore; functions that are never called; duplicated code; unnecessary dependencies; temporary solutions that become permanent; structures that nobody understands; and a huge amount of code that exists simply because an AI generated it during the process. I’m not saying this is exclusive to AI. Human programmers also write bad code. The difference is that we can now produce far more code in far less time. And that means we can also produce far more bad code in far less time. Speed without judgment is not necessarily productivity. That’s also why I don’t like working on projects where AI appears as a co-author This is one of the reasons why I personally don’t usually get involved with open-source projects where Claude, ChatGPT, or other AIs appear as co-authors. It’s not because I hate AI. It’s because when I join a project, I want to be able to understand the code, its architecture, and the decisions that were made. If a significant part of the project was generated through huge conversations with an AI and nobody actually documented why certain things were done, it can be quite difficult to come in and contribute. Difficult, not impossible. In fact, I even ended up blocking Claude on GitHub lol. The way I create projects My way of developing something is quite different. I usually base my process on something similar to a research methodology: First, I research whether something similar already exists. I analyze what solutions already exist and how they work. I try to understand whether it actually makes sense to create something new. I make a rough outline of what I want to build. I define what the tool should do. I think about how I could build it. I divide the project into phases. I develop each phase. I test and fix things. And finally, I give it a name. Depending on the project, it can take days or even weeks. And yes, many times I get excited and end up spending much more time on it than I originally planned. But I enjoy that process. At the same time, there is another way of working that has become quite common: someone has an idea, tells an AI about it, and starts developing everything together with it. That can work. The problem appears when the person stops making decisions and simply accepts everything the AI suggests. That’s when a project can quickly turn into a collection of improvised solutions. So, am I saying we shouldn’t use AI? No. Quite the opposite. I think it would be absurd to ignore such a powerful tool. The question is how we use it. If you’re starting to program and don’t have the money to pay for courses, don’t have the time to study for a degree, or simply don’t have access to traditional education, AI can be an incredible educational tool. But use it to learn. Ask it: “How do I do this?” “Why does this work this way?” “What alternatives are there?” “What am I doing wrong?” “Explain this part of the code to me.” And then read it, test it, and understand it. You don’t need to memorize every line of code you write. You also don’t need to do everything manually just to prove that you are a programmer. But you should understand, at least to some degree, what you are building and why it works. Because if you don’t know what a single line of your own program does and you need to ask an AI absolutely everything, then maybe you aren’t using a tool anymore: you’re letting the tool do the work for you. And then there’s the problem of accusing everyone of using AI Another thing that really bothers me is this new habit of assuming that any good code was generated by AI. Is the code well structured? “ChatGPT made it.” Is the project large? “Claude definitely made it.” Does someone publish a tool? “That’s AI.” What if that person simply knows how to program? Not everything that looks too good to someone who is just starting out was necessarily generated by AI. Sometimes there are simply people who have been learning and working in this field for years. Before accusing someone of generating their project with AI, check the repository, the history, the technical decisions, and the process. And if they actually used AI, that shouldn’t automatically be considered a bad thing either. This is one of the reasons I created Nerve Community That is precisely why Nerve Community was created. I completely understand why someone would use AI to learn or work. Not everyone has the money to pay for expensive courses. Not everyone has the time. Not everyone can attend university. And not everyone has someone nearby who can teach them programming. If AI can help you break through that barrier to entry, I think that’s a positive thing. What I don’t think is positive is when that same tool ends up completely replacing the learning process. I’m not against AI. I’m against depending on it to the point where you stop learning. Everyone is free to use these tools however they want. But if you really want to enter the world of programming, my advice is simple: Don’t always ask AI to do things for you. Ask it how to do them. Learn. Read. Research. Experiment. Break things. Fix errors. And try again. Because at the end of the day, AI should be a tool in your hands, not your hands. That’s my point of view. I’m not writing this to fight with anyone or to say that my way of thinking is the only correct one. It’s simply a reflection I’ve been having for the past few days as I watch the relationship between programming and AI change, especially because I can no longer post a tool in other subs without someone commenting that. I’d genuinely like to know what you all think. Do you think we are using AI correctly to learn programming, or do you think we are creating too much dependency on it? We can discuss it calmly. No fights, and no assuming that someone who thinks differently is automatically wrong. movie complete shrek https://i.redd.it/54ktf9gqk2lh1.gif submitted by /u/Globover [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I've just released Edge-Drop v0.2.7, and it's one of the biggest technical updates so far. Highlights: -Much better memory management with disk-backed storage for larger text, image thumbnail generation to keep GPU usage stable,. -Fixed Windows fullscreen detection so the desktop isn't treated like a game. -Self-healing launch at login that repairs stale startup entries. -Universal drag and drop, offline rich link previews. -New settings to tweak sensitivity and history behavior, and Persian language support. One thing I'm especially happy about is how much smoother it feels day to day. Large clipboard items no longer balloon memory, and images are handled really cleanly. Also, on a personal note This project actually started as something just built for myself. I wanted a tool that worked the way I had imagined. I decided to open source it and share it, and since then, it's grown to over, 1500+ downloads. As a solo CS student, that's honestly something I never expected., thanks to everyone who downloaded, tested, reported bugs, shared it, or bought me a coffee. That support helped me get a permanent domain for the project, edgedrop.app. It sounds small, but as a solo student building this open source project, it feels massive. If you want to try it or share feedback, I'd love to hear what you think.

Morning all, Due to language which caused confusion amongst reporters, posters and commenters. I've revised Rule 7 to be a bit more specific in what is and isn't allowed. Essentially what it boils down to is this: Did AI explain a code snippet to you? Allowed. Did AI write code for you? Not allowed. This subreddit does NOT allow software created by Generative AI and Vibe-coded software. Why? Please read our wiki page (https://www.reddit.com/r/freesoftware/wiki/generative-ai) Allowed: - Write documentation - Debug software (Analysis/Explanation Only) - Analyze codebase Not Allowed: - AI Assistance beyond what is mentioned above - All or part of the application being generated by AI submitted by /u/happyxpenguin [link] [comments]

Effective immediately, new software submissions will receive a reply from AutoMod asking for the following information: A link to the source repository, A link to the license or a statement of the license (which can be verified by visiting the source repository), If AI was used in the creation and to what extent Post authors who fail to respond to the comments attached to their posts will have their posts removed. This should help alleviate some mod work and streamline things a bit instead of needing to manually go into each repository and verify license and AI use and then manually approving/removing. Questions? Drop 'em in the comments. submitted by /u/happyxpenguin [link] [comments]
