In their own words

BeaverFlow CMDB

BeaverFlow CMDB maintains a registry of configuration items such as physical devices, virtual machines, SaaS subscriptions, cloud resources, and installed software. Items can record an owner, location, version, support contract, and lifecycle stage. A relationship graph maps dependencies and service impact paths, while change impact assessment identifies affected items and services. The listed capabilities include hardware and software inventory, cloud asset tracking, licence compliance, and lifecycle tracking. Discovery tools and infrastructure-as-code pipelines, including Terraform and Ansible use cases, can update records automatically. The CMDB logs item creation, modification, and retirement with a timestamp, user, and reason; it also generates a health indicator from incident history, age, support status, and open vulnerabilities. Shared and dedicated cloud deployment are offered on all plans, while on-premise deployment is listed for Enterprise. iOS and Android apps are listed across plans. Growth costs $24 a month per user, and Enterprise costs $47 a month per user; both are for up to 50 users. A three-month trial includes all 12 products, is limited to five users, requires no credit card, and preserves data for 30 days after it ends.

dust

dust is a free Rust command-line tool for finding where disk space is used. It lays out large files and subdirectories as a tree, with colored bars showing disk usage and hierarchy. Filters can include or exclude files using regular expressions and set a minimum file size. Output options let you show files or directories, group by file type, and choose size units. A screen-reader option removes bars and symbols and adds a depth-level column. dust runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with release packages listed for each, including architecture-specific builds. The README lists installation routes including Cargo, Homebrew, DNF, Snap, mise, Pacstall, conda-forge, deb-get, x-cmd, and Scoop. The Snap package can access files only in /home. The project is licensed under Apache-2.0; its v1.2.6 release page displays SHA-256 checksums for downloads. GitHub Issues and Discussions are available for support.
