UFTP
Encrypted UDP based FTP with multicast
UFTP is an encrypted multicast file transfer program, designed to securely, reliably, and efficiently transfer files to multiple receivers simultaneously. This is useful for distributing large files to a large number of receivers, and is especially useful for data distribution over a satellite link (with two way communication), where the inherent delay makes any TCP based communication highly inefficient. The multicast encryption scheme is based on TLS with extensions to allow multiple receivers to share a common key. UFTP also has the capability to communicate over disjoint networks separated by one or more firewalls (NAT traversal) and without full end-to-end multicast capability (multicast tunneling) through the use of a UFTP proxy server. These proxies also provide scalability by aggregating responses from a group of receivers. -

Advanced Onion Router is a portable client for the OR network and is intended to be an improved alternative for Tor+Vidalia+Privoxy bundle for Windows users. Some of the improvements include UNICODE paths, support for HTTP and HTTPS proxy protocols on the same Socks4/Socks5 port with HTTP header filtering that generates fake identity-dependent headers every time the identity is changed (proxy chains are also supported), support for NTLM proxies, a User Interface that makes Tor's options and actions more accessible, local banlist for forbidden addresses, private identity isolation, a point-and-click process interceptor that can redirect connections from programs that don't support proxies, also giving them fake information about the local system and support for .onion addresses. Also, it can estimate AS paths for all circuits and prevent AS path intersections, it can restrict circuits to be built using only nodes from different countries, can change circuit lengths and more.

Expose
A simple static site generator for photoessays
Expose is a lightweight static site generator designed specifically for creating photoessays from folders of images and videos. Implemented as a Bash script, it converts directories of media files into cleanly structured static websites with built-in themes. By default, it includes both a blog-style layout and a Medium-inspired theme, but users can also build their own templates. Expose reads associated text files, YAML metadata, and folder structures to automatically generate navigation menus, captions, and styling for each gallery. It supports image and video customization through ImageMagick and FFmpeg, enabling batch effects, filters, watermarks, and even video stabilization. With minimal setup, users can transform raw media collections into polished photoessays suitable for personal portfolios, storytelling, or lightweight publishing. -

websocketd
Turn any program that uses STDIN/STDOUT into a WebSocket server
websocketd is the WebSocket daemon. It takes care of handling the WebSocket connections, launching your programs to handle the WebSockets, and passing messages between programs and web-browser. If you can run your program from the command line, you can write WebSocket endpoints. Just read incoming text from stdin and write outgoing text to stdout. Messaging is simple. Each inbound WebSocket connection runs your program in a dedicated process. Connections are isolated by process. Available for Linux, OSX, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris. Serves your static HTML, JavaScript, etc. Route different URLs to different programs. Dynamic generate content over HTTP too. Out-of-the-box support for serving content using HTTPS and WSS. Restrict which pages can make WebSocket connections. Interact with your WebSocket programs before you've built your frontend.
