With my OpenBSD developer hat on, I'll say we're grateful for hardware donations (from new laptops, to esoteric networking gear, etc.)

Also the OpenBSD foundation is ~5% away from its fundraising goal for 2025! :-)

I think Linux is one of the great accomplishments of modern human society, together with Wikipedia. OpenSSL and the other Open Source cryptographic libraries for providing a safety net when our politicians decide to tighten their grip on privacy and secure communications. At least we as developers can still fall back on all the OpenSSL cloned repos and see from there.

Linux Debian OpenBSD Lineageos Mastodon + the fediverse

GrapheneOS, OpenBSD, Wireguard

https://github.com/ShawInnes/SshKeyGenerator change your life. this saves me so many clicks of what would otherwise be a really stupid alternative method of automation regarding these deployments i have to do. i couldn't prompt chatgpt for this code if my life depended on it.

Linux, particularly Debian.

Linux #1

And recently:

Bluesky Social - https://github.com/bluesky-social

AT Protocol - https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto

AtProto is a very unexpected choice to see here. Not because it's not good, but it's just very young.

Why did you chose AtProto?

A lot of them. They might not always look nice, unfortunately, but there sure are a ton of tools that equal or rival professional stuff (and professional stuff often uses a bunch of them anyway nowadays)

Entire development/software stack: Linux+gnu/Debian, gcc/llvm, PostgreSQL/MySQL, git, Kotlin/Java/jvm, TypeScipt/js, maven, frameworks (currently Javalin+Vue.js).

And Firefox. And open-weights LLMs we can run locally/privately.
