In their own words

Csmith

Csmith is a free, open-source generator of random C programs for finding compiler bugs through differential testing. Its output avoids undefined behavior and includes statistics for each generated program. A documented workflow compiles programs with GCC and Clang, then compares their outputs to identify differences. The tool can also create material for a C test suite when users do not want to write one themselves. Command-line options shown by csmith -h and csmith -hh customize random generation. Csmith runs locally on Linux and Windows. Ubuntu source builds require g++, CMake, and m4, followed by CMake and make; Windows builds are documented with Visual Studio or WSL. The project says it should build on most modern machines with a C++ compiler. Generated programs may loop indefinitely, so execution timeouts are recommended. The repository includes a COPYING license file. Bug reports and suggestions go through GitHub issues, with discussion on a mailing list; maintainers warn replies may be delayed.

Onyx Launcher

Onyx Launcher is a free, open-source desktop Minecraft launcher for Windows and Linux. It manages separate instances, imports modpacks and supports Fabric, NeoForge, Forge, Quilt and Vanilla. A built-in Modrinth catalog lets users browse, install and update mods and modpacks, while automatic updates and Java runtime management are included. Onyx can detect, download and isolate Eclipse Temurin Java 8, 17 or 21 as needed. Diagnostic features measure in-game FPS, average frame times and stutters, analyze logs, track memory and garbage-collection pauses, and use Crash Bisect to look for conflicting mods through controlled launches. World Guard creates safety snapshots before risky operations and supports rollbacks. Ghost Mode unloads the launcher window, WebContents and GPU processes from memory when Minecraft starts. Microsoft sign-in uses OAuth Device Flow, and offline mode with custom skins is available. Windows builds are currently unsigned; published SHA-256 checksums can be checked. The MIT-licensed project says it is independent of Microsoft, Mojang Studios and Modrinth.
