You're more #openrc #sysvinit #runit #s6 #dinit #shepard #shepardinit and why do you prefer it instead another one? Or maybe one not listed here? 💧 In my geochemical research, I often go beyond pure PHREEQC and use the RedModRphree package in R.
It’s a powerful bridge between thermodynamic modeling and data analysis — allowing Pourbaix (Eh–pH) diagrams to be computed for complex, multicomponent systems with a focus on a specific element.
Here are examples of modeled speciation diagrams for vanadium, lead, and zinc, based on the same high mineralized water sample composition.
They clearly illustrate how each element behaves under changing redox and pH conditions — from soluble oxyanions to sparingly soluble solid phases.

@redox, a whole OS written in #Rust, has an awesome mission statement, as @soller presented at this year's @rustconf:
"#𝖱𝖾𝖽𝗈𝗑 𝗐𝗂𝗅𝗅 𝗉𝗋𝗈𝗏𝗂𝖽𝖾 𝖺 𝗆𝗈𝗋𝖾 #𝗌𝖾𝖼𝗎𝗋𝖾 𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝗋𝖾𝗅𝗂𝖺𝖻𝗅𝖾 𝖺𝗅𝗍𝖾𝗋𝗇𝖺𝗍𝗂𝗏𝖾 𝗍o #𝖫𝗂𝗇𝗎𝗑 𝖺𝗇𝖽 #𝖡𝖲𝖣, 𝗂𝗇 #𝖼𝗅𝗈𝗎𝖽, #edge, and #desktop use cases."
