#72Cosmopolitan https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan and https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/index.html Some genius realized that you can actually embed valid win32 programs inside valid posix shell scripts, and found a way to make a C cross-platform solution out of it, meaning that you can write C programs that compile to a single executable that will run on (quoting the site) Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + N…

#74I like https://github.com/pyinfra-dev/pyinfra . "pyinfra automates infrastructure using Python" Only played with it for a little but it seems well designed an simpler alternative to ansible, chef and other such things.

#79x-cmd is a great CLI that I've been using lately. It's very lightweight (not exceeding 1.1MB), yet packed with numerous features. It provides a range of interactive CLI tools, currently boasting over 100 modules and close to 500 packages.
