ARTIQ (Advanced Real-Time Infrastructure for Quantum physics)

State of the art control system for physics experiments, for example atomic clocks or ion-trap based quantum computers. Originated at NIST.

Open source and open hardware. Official way to install on Linux is via Nix package manager. Very awesome and very fun. Experiments are written in Python.

Very nice analogy.

You are welcome.

At my uni we use OpenAFS. It works on any operating system.

I think this question generates so much hate because it makes the privacy-concerned audience realize there is actually little hope for privacy in our society in its current state.

Great title.

NixOS unstable is pretty stable. Might be worth adding to the list.
