https://casbin.org/ (multiple approaches, multiple languages, provider) Open source authZ library that has support for many access control models (ACL, RBAC, ABAC, …) and many languages (Go, Java, Node.js, JS, Rust, …). While somewhat complex, it is also powerful and flexible. They also have their Casdoor platform, which is authN and authZ provider.

Bart: Our numerous podcast discussions with seasoned professionals show that GitOps has been a recurring theme in about 90% of our conversations. Almost every guest we've interviewed has emphasized its importance, often mentioning it as their primary tool alongside other essentials like cert manager, Kyverno, or OPA, depending on their preferences.
https://github.com/varvet/pundit Popular open-source Ruby library focused around the notion of policies, giving you the freedom to implement your own approach based on that.

https://github.com/CanCanCommunity/cancancan (Ruby on Rails ABAC) Same like casl.js, but for Ruby on Rails! Casl.js was actually inspired and modeled by cancancan.
disclosure: I work at Ockam.
The Portals for Mac app is an example of the type of thing you could build using the open source stack of protocols. The README (linked by parent) links out to all of the relevant parts of the protocol documentation to explain how these work together. The NAT Traversal (https://github.com/build-trust/ockam/blob/develop/examples/a...) part of the README is probably the best explanation of why the free relay you get via Ockam Orchestrator is a useful part of this demo.
As for why would anyone trust this: The protocols are designed so you absolutely don't have to trust the relay. Trust is pushed out to the edges that you control and so you're not susceptible to a MITM attack if something like a relay is compromised. The protocol design for all of this is open and documented, and was independently audited by (IMO) some of the best in the business, Trail of Bits: https://docs.ockam.io/reference/protocols.
Project mention: NoTunes is a macOS application that will prevent Apple Music from launching | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-21Ah, this is a nice find! I've used Santa[1] to accomplish this with a silent block, which always felt like overkill when I was using it for solely that purpose.
