Your Favourite Open Source Software?

VLC obviously mentioned, but I discovered how to loop video sections and even change voice pitches. Quite amusing the latter and the former is invaluable in looping favourite porn sections :ROFL:
 
Stockfish, the chess engine. Download Arena as the interface (or similar) and you have the world chess champion right there on your pc.

 
Updated.

I think I might do a Nextcloud with Docker set up tutorial as the next article for the site. I wanted to write a tutorial the last couple of weekends but didn't get to it - Nextcloud would be a good subject that has quite a lot of appeal to the home labbers. Thanks, you've given me some unexpected inspiration!

OpenTOFU (source)
Website: https://opentofu.org/
OpenTofu is an OSS tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. OpenTofu can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.

The key features of OpenTofu are:
  • Infrastructure as Code: Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and treated as you would any other code. Additionally, infrastructure can be shared and re-used.
  • Execution Plans: OpenTofu has a "planning" step where it generates an execution plan. The execution plan shows what OpenTofu will do when you call apply. This lets you avoid any surprises when OpenTofu manipulates infrastructure.
  • Resource Graph: OpenTofu builds a graph of all your resources, and parallelizes the creation and modification of any non-dependent resources. Because of this, OpenTofu builds infrastructure as efficiently as possible, and operators get insight into dependencies in their infrastructure.
  • Change Automation: Complex changesets can be applied to your infrastructure with minimal human interaction. With the previously mentioned execution plan and resource graph, you know exactly what OpenTofu will change and in what order, avoiding many possible human errors.

Fork of OpenTF because of license change.
 
Thanks. I also got a link to an article about this and it's on the list to be added this weekend!

I've got a couple of nice finds this week to add along with the list from @oldhat

I've also been meaning to do my first tutorial article for the site and your mention of Nextcloud the other day made me think I might do a Docker Nextcloud set up. Will try and get it done over the long weekend if my wife doesn't give me too much stuff to do!
