The goal of this post is to provide a hub to discover some powerful internet resources out there.
For example here’s one I wanted to share.
- Open Source Ecology is a project for open source hardware that is significantly cheaper than retail costs. Some of the equipment include open source designs for CNC machines, windmills, tractors, plasma cutters, power supplies, motors, generators, and much more!

Lichess.org is the best website to play and study chess on, hands down, and it’s entirely Libre/FOSS, with zero ads or trackers (e. g. read here: https://lichess.org/about).
I thought it was a girl lich
No no, it’s a board game for lichen
Openstreetmaps has 10.5 million contributors and has an open license that provides more detail and has many third party apps unlike Google Maps or Apple Maps.

ARTIQ (Advanced Real-Time Infrastructure for Quantum physics)
State of the art control system for physics experiments, for example atomic clocks or ion-trap based quantum computers. Originated at NIST.
Open source and open hardware. Official way to install on Linux is via Nix package manager. Very awesome and very fun. Experiments are written in Python.
I love this kinda crap. “Hack the planet” and so on. Is someone working on an open source car?
I have thought about it, but the assembly process has to be extraordinary simple. I would be terrified to know that the fastener I recommended sheared, taking someone’s life.
Also, there seems to be at least two extremes in DIY. One would be the individual who understands the processes and is doing it to show their technical prowess. The other would be the individual who desperately needs the end product.
Might be a stupid question, but I’d there a GNU license equivalent to patents? Could you patent something that could be used for free, but not used by a company in a for-profit matter?
Everybody on Lemmy gets kinda weird and cagey about them for reasons I could not give less of a shit about, but I have a hopeful eye on everything FUTO is doing. Some of it’s really not public-ready yet, but they seem like a good organization to me.
Oh? I didn’t know that. They seemed like a good organization to me too. Open source hardware is quite lacking compared to the software side so I hope they succeed.
I haven’t seen anything bad about them (haven’t been looking though). I’ve been using the futo keyboard and like it so far, the swipe isn’t great but they’re crowdsourcing the training so I have high hopes
Anna’s Archive. 37,666,367 books, 105,835,081 papers — preserved forever. I’ve replaced my entire physical library and can now take my reading on the go.
Thank you, great resource! It’s very sad to see the feds going after libraries with the recent attacks against libgen (And potentially Internet Archive). Hopefully these libraries truly will be preserved forever. Information belongs to everyone.
In his ruling, Judge McMahon wrote, ‘The plaintiffs (the publishers) have suffered irreparable harm as a result of the defendants’ (LibGen operators’) unlawful conduct and will continue to suffer harm if the defendants are permitted to continue operating LibGen,’ and said LibGen’s operation should be stopped.

It’s an advertisement, not a question.
No it’s not. This was one example of a powerful resource. Another is Libgen, and the List of Awesome

Posting the same to several communities does not help to your defense either.
I’m trying to figure out how someone’s request for others to provide additional open-source projects like this, even if cross-posted to an astoundingly vast quantity of two communities, is even remotely problematic. The post doesn’t violate either community’s rules, invites other posters to continue the discussion with similar resources, and OP has been engaged.
Sorry didn’t mean to cause any trouble. I collect and share internet resources with others. If you want to verify this for yourself, my post history has questions similar to this one. I removed the image to make this post more ‘generic’. I am genuinely trying to share resources. My apologies if it came across as advertising.
