शैडोइंग अभ्यास: 10 weird OSS projects you need right now... - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

Yesterday, I was looking at my GitHub feed and realized it was 90% AI agents reviewing other AI agents' pull requests.

My For You page is just six wrappers around the same Claude API key,

and all the most starred repos are literally just markdown files that tell you how to talk to robots.

I thought I had died and went to hell,

but I realized this can't be hell,

because this is my terminal emulator.

It's 3D, it uses 300MB of RAM,

it has a spinning wrap for a cursor,

and it might be the most important software released in 2026.

Underneath the AI sewage layer,

and below the Prompt Bros and Notion template goblins,

there are still real humans building insane,

beautiful, and deeply unnecessary software.

In today's video, we'll look at 10 projects you've never heard of,

built by people who absolutely should not be allowed near a compiler,

and I mean that as the highest possible compliment.

It is May 26, 2026,

and you're watching The Code Report.

The first project I want to talk about is Rati.

It's a new terminal emulator built in Rust and inspired by TempleOS.

And as you can see here,

the cursor is a spinning 3D rat.

It was created by Oren Parmaxes,

and unlike most terminal emulators,

it doesn't just render text,

but rather an entire GPU-accelerated 3D scene using the Bevy game engine.

That means you can do incredibly useless things,

like hit Ctrl-Alt-Enter, to physically tilt your terminal in a 3D space like you're flying through a PS2 game.

And you can even bring in your own crappy 3D models from tools like Blender.

The only catch is that it eats 300 megabytes of RAM,

and RAM is not cheap these days.

The creator fully acknowledges that this is insane by saying,

quote, everything comes at a cost,

especially the spinning rat cursor.

But if 3D rats are not enough,

your terminal's about to get even more awesomer thanks to a project called Terminal Phone.

Imagine this, you're in the terminal,

vim open, three TMUX panes deep,

and instead of unlocking your phone to take a call,

you just make the call from bash.

The Terminal Phone is an open-source push-to-talk voice and text app that runs entirely over Tor as a shell script.

There are no servers, no accounts, no phone numbers.

Instead, a .onion address is your identity,

which means everything is ephemeral and end-to-end encrypted.

The developer shipped this project in February with a custom protocol built from scratch.

This is the project cypherpunks were promising us in 1995,

and now finally, after 30 years,

one psychopath finally delivered it.

But this next project might even be more rebellious.

Back in 1988, before the internet even existed,

John Carpenter made an awesome movie where this dude puts on sunglasses,

and suddenly every billboard, magazine,

and advertisement on Earth is revealed to be what it truly is,

alien mind-control propaganda telling us to obey, consume, marry, and reproduce.

Developer David Lawrence realized that this is also the most aesthetically correct way to implement an ad blocker.

He actually had the idea all the way back in 2015,

sat on it for a decade,

and then finally shipped it recently as a fork of uBlock Origin Lite.

Instead of just blocking ads,

it turns the entire experience of surfing the World Wide Web into an 80s sci-fi horror movie.

But our next project, Kuda Oxide,

didn't come from some basement hacker.

It was quietly dropped on GitHub by the 5 trillion market cap NVIDIA last week.

And it addresses an important problem.

In order to write CUDA kernels,

code that runs on a GPU,

you need to carefully craft C++.

Pray the compiler doesn't segfault,

because it only takes one wrong pointer to turn your $40,000 GPU cluster into a worthless paperweight.

CUDA Oxide tries to fix this by letting you write GPU kernels in pure Rust.

Just annotate a function with kernel,

and now you have Rust code that can actually run on a GPU.

And it actually compiles straight to PTX.

There's no foreign functions interface or C++ involved at all.

But all these awesome projects should have their own theme songs,

and that's where WarioSynth comes in.

This is a weird project where you paste in a song,

and it spits it back out as a Game Boy chiptune.

Under the hood, it uses the Web Audio API to take two pulse waves,

one wave channel, and one noise channel,

to re-synthesize an entire song as something that sounds like it's coming out of a 1989 Game Boy.

And it can do all of this in the browser,

with zero server-side processing required.

Enjoy it before Nintendo's legal team nukes it and memory holes it,

but speaking of memory holes,

I completely forgot about the Epstein files after the Iran War and UFO disclosures.

Luckily, though, the files are easier than ever to consume now thanks to projects like Jmail,

which emulates Gmail as if you were Jeffrey himself using it.

But if you truly want to go deep down this rabbit hole,

Epstein Exposed provides a searchable database for the files,

and also this awesome network graph that shows you how deep the connections of the deep state actually go.

If that's a little too dark for you,

though, you'll really like this next project, Exipedia.

Developer Lyra Rebane looked at the dumpster fire that's modern social media and asked the only sensible question.

What if doom scrolling was actually good for you?

So she built Wikipedia as a TikTok feed.

You open up the web app,

pick a few categories, and it downloads 40 megabytes of simple Wikipedia in the background,

and then you have an infinite feed you can scroll through endlessly.

100

This project is also open source and runs its algorithm entirely in the browser.

101

But what if we could run an entire computer in the browser?

102

Well, that's where Pewter comes in.

103

It's a project you can self-host,

104

or if you go to pewter.com,

105

you'll be taken to a desktop environment where you have a taskbar,

106

draggable windows, a file manager,

107

and a bunch of applications like a notepad,

108

code editor, terminal, and so on.

109

It's kind of like the dream of Chrome OS,

110

except it's actually free, actually open, and actually fun.

111

But now, it's time to learn about Honker.

112

This one's for the SQLite gang,

113

and honestly, it might be the single most underrated project on this list.

114

SQLite is an incredible database that can handle even the most ambitious of failed side projects.

115

But if you end up needing a feature like a job queue,

116

things start to get complicated.

117

You might think you need to spin up Redis,

118

install Celery, or run a message broker,

119

but developer Russell Romney says no. Honker is a SQLite extension written in Rust

120

that adds Postgres-style notify-listen directly into your database file.

121

You get durable PubSub, task queues,

122

event streams, and a cron scheduler,

123

and all that lives inside the same .db file as your business data.

124

It's yet another humble reminder that 99% of us don't fing Kubernetes,

125

and would be perfectly fine running SQLite and Node on a $5 VPS.

126

And that brings us to number 10,

127

HyperAgent, the sponsor of today's video.

128

Most agent platforms only give you tool calls,

129

but HyperAgent lets you build and deploy agents with their own browser,

130

shell, and file system, all running in an isolated cloud sandbox.

131

I used it to build a research workflow for our Bytes newsletter that studies past issues,

132

scouts tech Twitter and Hacker News for promising story topics,

133

and saves them to our team's Airtable.

134

Then I turn that workflow into an agent we can invoke from Telegram or Slack whenever we need ideas.

135

Right now, HyperAgent is giving away $10 million to founders building agent-first companies,

136

and the first 1,000 viewers to use the link below will get $1,000 in free inference credits.

137

This has been The Code Report,

138

thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next one.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
