Linked List: FOSS Apps for Bill Splitting with Friends

I am a BillMonk refugee. I used it until it went down. Even though it was not FOSS, it was the first app I had seen and used for bill splitting. Today, there are lots of FOSS alternatives. Some of my favorite ones are listed below in this Linked List edition.

Linked List:  FOSS Apps for Tracking Baby Progress

I have been using apps to track my baby’s progress. I mostly use self-hostable web apps that I can host on my home server or Android apps that work offline. All of which are FOSS. Except for the Milestone tracking apps :( They are not FOSS, but they are taxpayer-funded and freely available.

Linked List: My Set of Personal Protective Equipment

This list is not a recommendation, just a starting point for your research. The set contains just three items, a Respirator with filter, gloves, and safety goggles. I use them, so I thought it might be helpful for you as a starting point. Do your research based on your use cases.

Linked List : My Corded Power Tools for Home Lab

I wanted a complete toolset when I moved out of my parent’s home. Until then, I used my father’s set. He had them collected for a long time. I borrowed some from him, but I also built my toolbox. I will probably write a post on other tools. But here is the first one, and it is about power tools.

Linked List: Three Android Apps to Efficiently Contribute to OpenStreetMap

From a browser, I moved to contributing using GPS Logger or OSMAnd. That made my workflow a lot easier, but these apps are not for editing maps but for regular map use. They are okay if you are not mapping frequently or in mass. So editing flow in these apps is not seamless. Hence I continued to explore other options.

Linked List: Fake or Mock SMTP Servers for Email Testing

To test SMTP integration, you can either send emails using the production SMTP or you can run a test SMTP server just for testing. But its not easy for every developer in your team to do that or make it part of your CI/CD. This is where Fake or Mock SMTP servers play a role. They can run on a developers machine and expose an SMTP endpoint to connect and send test emails. They usually have web access to view the test emails to check formatting etc, manually. Some of them also expose a web API to retrieve the content for CI/CD integration. Here are some of my favorite mock SMTP servers.
