Hubzilla. It can do many things, but I mainly use it as a Social Network and Forum and to chat with friends (which I guess is what a Social Network is..)

For me that would be HomeBridge, it emulates an Apple HomeKit bridge which allows you to add many devices to HomeKit and be able to control them via iOS and Siri, such as Wink Hubs, Harmony Hubs, Nest thermostats, and Xbox One (power toggle) to name a few.

RethinkDB Far and away my favorite document database. Beats Mongo by a mile and a half. Has some great ORMs as well. They’re going through some hard times right now, so any contributions would likely be greatly appreciated.

Li3 is the foundation of everything we do. I know there are a lot of frameworks out there and everyone has there preference, but this has been an outstanding solution for all of our application development. We have been able to be very flexible with this foundation adapting to our various needs.

JQ is amazing when you’re working all day with JSON 😀

VagrantBox.es is a pretty awesome project for anyone looking for some simple commits.

Basically, it’s an index of the Vagrant machines which are available for use, that isn’t tied to the Hashicorp atlas (it was there first :) )

We’ve got some open #Hacktoberfest issues at the Github project page but the key one for me is #395 which is where a very kind individual identified all the boxes which weren’t replying with a useful HTTP response (either 404, 401, or 429). Unfortunately, it was so big, we can’t easily read back and work out who submitted these boxes, to check why they’re offline.

I’d like someone to find a few of these, and submit a PR containing just that box (or associated boxes, if they’re at the same URL) so we can remove them specifically from the index (and if the owner has moved them somewhere, perhaps you can amend your PR to point to the new location?)

And I’m more than happy to work with someone to get these changes made. Contact me @JonTheNiceGuy on Twitter or jon@sprig.gs by email

Hi all,
I’m Peter from CDNJS, I wonder if CDNJS is it a project we can push here?

Thanks!

After years of having sub-par donations plugins for WordPress Charitable is a great platform for any site that needs to accept donations.

I immediately install fail2ban, monit and monitorix on all servers I bring up, regardless of their final use in production. Lately I’ve also started using Ansible.

I use WP-CLI on most if not all of my WordPress based sites.

I use it to automate installation as well as to prevent the need to login and navigate the WordPress admin when performing some tasks.

Even with a significant investment in 2016 there’s scope for even better things and contributions are welcome.

Contributin is an OS project looking to help reshape how OS projects are maintained by trying to remove the barriers preventing changes getting merged into projects (i.e. lack of maintainer, stale code/repo). With all the enhancements Github has made to pull requests there are various options for collaboration. With contributin, you can auto add people to your OS project and setup permissions in a multitude of ways. Some configurations are:

• open for commits to master, or the ability to merge your own changes
• restrict changes to master, but can merge your own pull requests
• restrict changes to master, and a pull request needs to be approved by 1 other contributor
• restrict changes to master, and a pull request needs to be approved by admin/repo owner (similar to current process, except does not require you to fork the project)

All of these require no fork on the repository, minimizing Pull Requests getting lost/not merged by maintainer along the way.
