PostCSS - transform styles with JavaScript plugins - LinuxLinks
PostCSS is a tool for transforming styles with JS plugins. These plugins can lint your CSS, support variables and mixins, transpile future CSS syntax, inline images, and more.
PostCSS takes a CSS file and provides an API to analyze and modify its rules (by transforming them into an Abstract Syntax Tree). This API can then be used by plugins to do a lot of useful things, e.g., to find errors automatically, or to insert vendor prefixes.
Currently, PostCSS has more than 200 plugins.

Dire Wolf - AX.25 packet modem/TNC and APRS encoder/decoder - LinuxLinks
Dire Wolf is a software “soundcard” AX.25 packet modem/TNC and APRS encoder/decoder. It can be used stand-alone to observe APRS traffic, as a tracker, digipeater, APRStt gateway, or Internet Gateway (IGate).
Dire Wolf includes FX.25 which adds Forward Error Correction (FEC) in a way that is completely compatible with existing systems. If both ends are capable of FX.25, your information will continue to get through under conditions where regular AX.25 is completely useless. This was originally developed for satellites and is now seeing widespread use on HF.

mping - simple multicast ping - LinuxLinks
mping aspires to be an easy to use and script friendly program with support for both IPv4 and IPv6. Similar to the standard ping program, but unlike it, the response to multicast ping is sent by another mping.
By default, mping starts in receiver/reflector mode, joining the group given as command line argument. To start as a sender, use -s and remember to set the -t TTL value greater than the number of routing “hops” when testing in a routed topology.

Vespa - AI search platform - LinuxLinks
Use cases such as search, recommendation and personalization need to select a subset of data in a large corpus, evaluate machine-learned models over the selected data, organize and aggregate it and return it, typically in less than 100 milliseconds, all while the data corpus is continuously changing.
This is hard to do, especially with large data sets that need to be distributed over multiple nodes and evaluated in parallel. Vespa is a platform that performs these operations for you with high availability and performance. It has been in development for many years and is used on several large internet services and apps which serve hundreds of thousands of queries from Vespa per second.
