Description
For diff-ing directories, I usually like to use meld, but it struggles a lot with large trees. Experiment with writing a TUI meld-clone for diffing directories and files
Goals
Get first prototype going of a TUI that can show
- diffs of text-files
- diffs of directories.
Stretch goals
- Themes
- Filters (no whitespace, etc.)
- Live config changes (Show/hide line numbers, etc.)

SMB3 Server written entirely in Rust by dmulder
Description
Given the number of bugs frequently discovered in the Samba code caused by memory issues, it makes sense to re-write the smbd service purely in Rust code. Meanwhile, it would be wise to abandon backwards compatibility here with insecure protocol versions, and simply implement the SMB3 spec.
Goals
Get a simple server up and running and get it merged into upstream Samba (which now has Rust build support).

Hack on isotest-ng - a rust port of isotovideo (os-autoinst aka testrunner of openQA) by szarate
Description
Some time ago, I managed to convince ByteOtter to hack something that resembles isotovideo but in Rust, not because I believe that Perl is dead, but more because there are certain limitations in the perl code (how it was written), and its always hard to add new functionalities when they are about implementing a new backend, or fixing bugs (Along with people complaining that Perl is dead, and that they don't like it)
In reality, I wanted to see if this could be done, and ByteOtter proved that it could be, while doing an amazing job at hacking a vnc console, and helping me understand better what RuPerl needs to work.
I plan to keep working on this for the next few years, and while I don't aim for feature completion or replacing isotovideo tih isotest-ng (name in progress), I do plan to be able to use it on a daily basis, using specialized tooling with interfaces, instead of reimplementing everything in the backend
Todo
- Add
maketargets for testability, e.g "spawn qemu and type" - Add image search matching algorithm
- Add a Null test distribution provider
- Add a Perl Test Distribution Provider
- Fix unittests https://github.com/os-autoinst/isotest-ng/issues/5
- Research OpenTofu how to add new hypervisors/baremetal to OpenTofu
- Add an interface to openQA cli
Goals
- Implement at least one of the above, prepare proposals for GSoC
- Boot a system via it's BMC

Grapesss: a physical Shamir's Secret Sharing application [ESP32-C3 + Mobile] by ecandino
Description
A couple of years ago I created StegoSecretS, a small cli used to encrypt and split a secret into multiple keys, using the Shamir's Secret Sharing algorithm.
The idea is to re-implement the project using physical devices. One device alone will be useless, but when close together they can be used to decrypt the secret.
On a practical side the user encrypts the secret with a mobile application. The same application is used to split the secret, and load the partial keys into different micro-controllers. Another user will be able to decrypt the secret only having at least N devices close together (using the application).
I'm planning to use a couple of ESP32-C3 I bought, and build a very simple Android mobile application.
Goals
- Learn about Rust and micro-controllers (ESP32-C3)
- Learn about mobile applications (Android and Kotlin)
