## Summary

A curated tour of 10 unusual open source projects flying under the radar. Highlights include Ratty, a GPU-accelerated 3D terminal emulator built in Rust using the Bevy game engine; Terminal Phone, a Tor-based encrypted voice/text app running as a shell script with no servers or accounts; a fork of uBlock Origin that replaces ads with They Live-style propaganda overlays; CUDA Oxide, an Nvidia-released tool for writing GPU kernels in pure Rust compiling directly to PTX; Wario Synth, a browser-based Game Boy chiptune converter; Exipedia, a Wikipedia TikTok-style infinite scroll feed; Pwtor, a self-hostable browser desktop environment; and Honker, a SQLite extension written in Rust that adds Postgres-style pub/sub, task queues, and cron scheduling directly into a SQLite file.
