Iperf 2
A means to measure network responsiveness and throughput
Iperf here is a means of measuring networks - capacity & latency (including ECN) over sockets both TCP and UDP. The goals include maintaining an active iperf code base across a broad set of platforms and operating systems. This is a multi-threaded design that scales with the number of CPUs or cores within a system. It supports both high impact and low impact techniques to obtain and report network performance. Current release: 2.2.1, Nov 4th, 2024 About iperf 2 and iperf3: Read about the differences between these programs at https://iperf2.sourceforge.io/IperfCompare.html Man page: https://iperf2.sourceforge.io/iperf-manpage.html Android version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=iperf.project -

Etcher
A safe way to flash OS images to SD cards & USB drives
Etcher is a powerful OS image flasher. It protects a user from accidentally overwriting hard-drives by making drive selection obvious; and with validated flashing there is no more writing images to corrupted drives. It is also called balenaEtcher since it is developed by balena. In addition, Etcher can flash directly Raspberry Pi devices that support usbboot. Use for .iso and .img files, as well as zipped folders to create live SD cards and USB flash drives. Written with Electron for cross platform use (windows, macOS, and Linux). -

whisper.cpp
Port of OpenAI's Whisper model in C/C++
whisper.cpp is a lightweight, C/C++ reimplementation of OpenAI’s Whisper automatic speech recognition (ASR) model—designed for efficient, standalone transcription without external dependencies. The entire high-level implementation of the model is contained in whisper.h and whisper.cpp. The rest of the code is part of the ggml machine learning library. The command downloads the base.en model converted to custom ggml format and runs the inference on all .wav samples in the folder samples. whisper.cpp supports integer quantization of the Whisper ggml models. Quantized models require less memory and disk space and depending on the hardware can be processed more efficiently. -

Universal G-Code Sender
A cross-platform G-Code sender for GRBL, Smoothieware, etc.
A full-featured gcode platform used for interfacing with advanced CNC controllers like GRBL , TinyG, g2core and Smoothieware. Universal Gcode Sender is a self-contained Java application that includes all external dependencies and can be used on most computers running Windows, MacOSX or Linux. With older versions of GRBL UGS is pretty reliable when it comes to jogging, but there are limitations. With GRBL 1.1 this is no longer the case when using the new JOG MODE syntax. This first-class jog mode guarantees the GCODE state will be unaltered and also allows you to stop a jog while it is in progress. UGS uses this new syntax automatically when it detects a version of GRBL which supports it. -

Umbrel
A beautiful personal server OS for Raspberry Pi or any Linux distro
Run your personal server with a Bitcoin and Lightning node in your home, self-host open source apps like Nextcloud and Matrix to break away from big tech, and take full control of your data. For free. All our interactions on the internet today are mediated by a few companies who offer “free” services in exchange for storing our data on their servers to spy on us. Running a personal server fundamentally changes that. You and your family’s photos, videos, files, notes, passwords, everything, have nothing to do with someone else’s computer. They’re a part of your private life, and now they can all be stored by you, in your home, on your Umbrel. The Bitcoin network is made up of thousands of nodes that verify every single transaction in the blockchain. Some of them mine Bitcoin too, but unlike a mining node, running a non-mining node doesn’t require expensive hardware. Achieve unparalleled privacy by connecting your wallet directly to the Bitcoin node on your Umbrel. -

Udp2raw-tunnel
Turns UDP traffic into encrypted UDP/fakeTCP/ICMP traffic
A tunnel which turns UDP traffic into encrypted fakeTCP/UDP/ICMP traffic by using Raw Socket, helps you bypass UDP FireWalls(or unstable UDP environment). When used alone, Udp2raw tunnels only UDP traffic. Nevertheless, if you used udp2raw + any UDP-based VPN together, you can tunnel any traffic(include TCP/UDP/ICMP), currently, OpenVPN/L2TP/ShadowVPN and tinyfecVPN are confirmed to be supported. Linux host (including desktop Linux,Android phone/tablet,OpenWRT router,or Raspberry PI) with root account or cap_net_raw capability. ICMP/FakeTCP headers help you bypass UDP blocking, UDP QOS or improper UDP NAT behavior on some ISPs. In ICMP header mode,udp2raw works like an ICMP tunnel. UDP headers are also supported. In UDP header mode, it behaves just like a normal UDP tunnel, and you can just make use of the other features (such as encryption, anti-replay, or connection stalization). -
