Flamethrower - DNS performance and functional testing utility
The tool was originally developed as an alternative to dnsperf and retains compatibility with many familiar command-line options. Its workload model is based on asynchronous I/O and configurable concurrent senders, with query generation separated from transmission so tests can be shaped without changing the core sending logic. This architecture suits both maximum-throughput benchmarks and controlled experiments where traffic rate, transport and query shape need to remain reproducible.

OpenMolcas - multiconfigurational quantum chemistry package
OpenMolcas is a quantum chemistry software package designed for electronic-structure calculations on molecular systems. Its distinguishing strength is multiconfigurational quantum chemistry, making it particularly useful for systems where a single electronic configuration does not provide an adequate description.
The project is derived from the Molcas codebase and exposes a substantial part of that scientific software as free and open source software. OpenMolcas brings together many computational chemistry methods in a modular environment, allowing calculations to be assembled as workflows that move data between specialised program modules.

godoc-lint - linter for consistent Go documentation
godoc-lint is a linter for Go documentation comments.
It is aimed especially at reusable modules, SDKs, API clients and libraries where consistent documentation affects both IDE assistance and the rendered documentation on pkg.go.dev. The tool applies a configurable set of rules derived from established Go documentation conventions while keeping a practical default configuration for projects that want useful checks without extensive setup. This makes it particularly useful for codebases exposing public APIs where documentation consistency forms part of the developer experience.

Mikochi - minimalist web file manager for servers and NAS
Mikochi is a minimalist remote file manager designed for self-hosted servers and NAS devices.
It presents files through a lightweight web interface, allowing users to carry out common management operations without mounting the remote filesystem on their desktop. Its deliberately focused feature set makes it suitable for users who want straightforward browser access to a server’s files rather than a broader collaboration or cloud storage platform. A particularly useful feature is its ability to create streaming links for media players.

golines - Shorten Long Lines in Go Source Code
golines is a command-line formatter for Go that focuses on shortening source lines that exceed a chosen width. It works with Go syntax rather than treating source as plain text, adjusting line breaks around suitable constructs before passing the result through a base formatter.
The formatter is intended for developers who want automated control over line length while retaining conventional Go formatting. It can process files, directories, or standard input and can either print results, show changes, or update source files directly.
This is free and open source software.
MOPAC - semiempirical quantum chemistry package
MOPAC (Molecular Orbital PACkage) is a semiempirical quantum chemistry program for studying molecules, solids and chemical reactions. It uses simplified quantum-mechanical models whose parameters are fitted to experimental or high-level theoretical data, trading some predictive accuracy for substantially lower computational cost.
The program is primarily command-line driven and uses text input and output files, making it straightforward to incorporate into scripted computational workflows. Its semiempirical approach is particularly useful when conventional ab initio calculations would be too expensive, including screening larger collections of structures and preparing systems for more demanding calculations.
