PeerTube
Video streaming platform using P2P directly in your web browser
PeerTube, developed by Framasoft, is the free and decentralized alternative to video platforms, providing you over 400,000 videos published by 60,000 users and viewed over 15 million times. Our aim is not to replace them, but rather to simultaneously offer something else, with different values. PeerTube is not meant to become a huge platform that would centralize videos from all around the world. Rather, it is a network of inter-connected small videos hosters. Anyone with a modicum of technical skills can host a PeerTube server, aka an instance. Each instance hosts its users and their videos. In this way, every instance is created, moderated and maintained independently by various administrators. You can still watch from your account videos hosted by other instances though if the administrator of your instance had previously connected it with other instances. And there's more! PeerTube uses ActivityPub, a federating protocol that allows you to interact with other software. -

Twitch Drops Miner
An app that allows you to AFK mine timed Twitch drops
TwitchDropsMiner is a desktop application that automates earning timed Twitch Drops by simulating “watch” activity without actually streaming video, letting users collect rewards while saving bandwidth and attention. It works by periodically fetching stream metadata to advance Drops progress, while maintaining a websocket connection to monitor which channels are online, offline, or changing status. The app is designed to reduce manual babysitting by switching channels automatically when a stream goes offline or when a higher-priority opportunity becomes available. It supports prioritisation logic, including game priority and exclusion lists, so users can focus on specific campaigns and avoid unwanted categories. The tool also discovers new drop campaigns based on linked accounts and validates streams using tags and campaign checks to avoid wasting time watching streams that cannot earn rewards. -
