Quickly resize and shrink Raspberry Pi SD card image on MacOS
From time to time you may want to quickly copy a raspberry pi image from one system to another….but only have a smaller SD card. Or you started your project as a tryout on a crazy 64GB sd card, and realize later that 8GB would be way enough. So what you want to do, is resize the source image to the smallest size possible, flash it to the new smaller SD card, and expand it again to its new maximum on the new SD card. And so far that process can be very long and painful….but luckily there is a very handy script for that, called PiShrink. I am using the mac version, but there is also a linux version.

Mox is a modern full-featured open source secure mail server for low-maintenance self-hosted email
Why a new mail server implementation?
Mox aims to make “running a mail server” easy and nearly effortless. Excellent quality mail server software exists, but getting a working setup typically requires you configure half a dozen services (SMTP, IMAP, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, spam filtering). That seems to lead to people no longer running their own mail servers, instead switching to one of the few centralized email providers. Email with SMTP is a long-time decentralized messaging protocol. To keep it decentralized, people need to run their own mail server. Mox aims to make that easy.

ChatGPT Desktop App – Unofficial open source OpenAI ChatGPT desktop app for Mac, Windows, and Linux menubar
Although I have considerable misgivings about trusting AI for anything at this point in time, given its propensity to occasionally just make up answers that are total bulls&!t and invent facts out of thin air, a lot of people are still playing with it, and this software could make it more convenient to do so. Note that I have not personally tested this, so install and use at your own risk.

LuLu – a free alternative to Little Snitch?
If you use MacOS and you would like the functionality of Little Snitch but don’t want to pay for it, this might be an alternative to consider. I haven’t tested it, nor have I done a feature comparison between LuLu and Little Snitch, so this is just to note that it exists and nothing more.
