So in the spirit of this community and not just to focus on the Reddit… issues… I thought it might be nice to get a topical conversation going in here.

Basically, what open source projects are you currently working on or are you heavily involved with?

I think it would be nice to see what projects people have on the go, get some publicity out there and otherwise talk about stuff that we should be discussing here.

    Hi Lemmy!

    I make BusKill laptop kill cords that make your computer lock, shutdown, or self-destruct if the device is physically separated from you.

    This protects your (encrypted) data from theft, which can be useful for digital nomads and cryptotraders working in cafes/coworking spaces. But our target audience is journalists, activists, and human rights workers in oppressive regimes.

    Both the hardware and the software are open-source (CC-BY-SA, GPLv3). We manufacture the hardware with injection molding, but if you have a 3D-printer, then you can take a stab at our 3D-printable prototype.

    …And apparently I’m doing (minor) contributions to lemmy these days too
