Appwrite : An Open Source Firebase Alternative

We're happy to share that we've just released Appwrite 0.8 with a lot of improvements on privacy and security. This brings us one step closer to achieving our goal of becoming a complete open-source alternative to Firebase. Our latest version adds support for JWT auth, ARM devices, Anonymous login, and advanced image manipulations.

We are already working on support for a Realtime database, GraphQL APIs, MongoDB support, and other pretty cool features. We have reached this stage with continued support from the community and we would love to hear your thoughts on how we can make it better. Please feel free to comment below.

You can learn more about Appwrite over at https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite

Off the Grid Messenger

Off The Grid (OTG) Messenger is an easy way for people to communicate through text messages when in remote areas. With a theoretical transmission range of 10 miles (16kms), OTG messenger can be used by groups of people to stay connected when they are in areas not serviced by mobile connectivity.

For portability and low power purposes, the device was created by re-purposing an old Nokia e63 phone I had laying around. The enclosure, LCD, keypad, backlighting and speaker have been re-used however the motherboard was re-designed from the ground up with low power components, a modern STM32 H7 microcontroller, an ISM LoRA radio and expanded flash memory.

The best free Audacity Alternatives

https://www.ghacks.net/2021/07/04/the-best-free-audacity-alternatives/


All alternatives listed below lack at least one of the main characteristics of Audacity. They are either only available for one operating system, e.g. Windows, not open source, don't offer the same set of core features, or lack in other departments.

Audacity Forks

Audacity is an open source project, and developers started to fork the application as soon as the announcement hit the Internet that the project team changed.

Forks match all main characteristics of Audacity, but there is no "main" fork yet that all disgruntled developers and users switched to.

Here is a link to a promising forks (because it is updated regularly)

DISCONTINUATION OF THE VANCED PROJECT

Vanced has been discontinued. In the coming days, the download links will be taken down. The Discord server, Telegram chat and subreddit will stay for the time being. We know this is not something you wanted to hear, but it's something we had to do. We want to thank you all for the support over the years.

Edit (1): The existing version will continue to work.

Edit (2): It was done due to legal reasons..

Awesome-totally-open-ChatGPT

A list of open alternatives to ChatGPT

ChatGPT is GPT-3.5 with RLHF (Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback) for chat system.

By alternative, I mean projects feature different language model for chat system. Projects are not counted if they are:
• alternative frontend projects because they just call the API from OpenAI.
• alternative transformer decoder • models to GPT 3.5 either because the training data of them are (mostly) not for chat system.
