A guy named Jan-Christoph accidentally built the most useful directory of open-source projects on the internet.
It is called LibreProjects.
Search for what you need and it shows you open-source web services across 15 categories:
> Social networks
> Search engines
> Cloud storage
> Video calls
> Spreadsheets
> Presentations
> Books
> News
> Audio
> Graphics
> Games
> Development tools
You will find Jitsi Meet for video calls, Nextcloud for cloud storage, EtherCalc for spreadsheets, Searx for search, and Project Gutenberg for books.
Click a project and LibreProjects tells you what it does, which commercial product it can replace, what license it uses, and where you can inspect the source code.
The clever part is what they refuse to list.
A company cannot throw one open-source feature into a paid product and sneak into the directory wearing a fake mustache.
The service should be open source, hosted, free to use, and simple enough for ordinary people.
It is basically an escape map from subscription software.
And somehow, almost nobody knows it exists.
🇮🇶🇺🇸 Every dollar of Iraq's oil money flows into ONE bank account, and it sits in the United States.
Beirut-based writer Sharmine Narwani, of The Cradle, lays out an arrangement most people, including most Iraqis, have never heard of.
All of Iraq's oil revenues must be deposited into a single account in the US, and every month, Baghdad sends what amounts to an invoice to the Treasury Department explaining what it needs money for.
Washington then decides what Iraq gets.
The delivery method makes it stranger.
With key Iraqi banks under heavy US sanctions, the money arrives as pallets of cash flown in by airplane, a system Narwani says has fueled enormous corruption:
"I can't tell you, Mario, how many Iraqis don't even know about this."
This, she argues, is what strategic control actually looks like, a country's entire oil wealth flowing through a foreign government's approval process, one month at a time.

You roll your driver (RHD) window and rear left passenger window down. You drive abit and this creates a suction effect which will exhaust all the hot air out from rear left passenger window. This is faster way.
