Fuck Lemmy. I’m only here because there is nothing better (yet)
668 comments in 1 month. It means you like the content of lemmy
Yes. The content produced by the users.
Lemmy devs are making the same mistake reddit made. They’re throwing the users under the bus, when its the users that make the platform.
You can start your own instance, and you could even develop a compatible, federated protocol like kbin. That’s the beauty of the fediverse.
Starting my own instance would just make me legally vulnerable because the tools for moderation dont exist.
I will likely jump to sublinks when available, which was created because of these issues.
Android
Audile like SoundHoud and Shazam but open source
Funkwhale a federated cloud community music streamer app
Innertune find new songs from YT Music
Open Video Editor edit videos
Heliboard successor of OpenBoard
Tubular successor of NewPipe
ZipXtract a zip extractor
Wger fitness app
Please just a reminder, consider contributing to these apps developers.
Definitely Syncthing.
Great app to sync my phone with my laptop.
I have an extensive syncthing set up but I find the mobile app a battery hungry
Syncthing-fork which fixes battery drain issue and others as well. I’ll just leave this here for your battery needs: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.catfriend1.syncthingandroid/
Kde connect on my phone (iphone) and laptop.
Nebula, the overlay network thing. It connects all of my servers together, and me to my servers.
ddcutil is a daily driver for me, lightweight, hyper compatible, full monitor control. I primarily use it to lower brightness at night but also constantly switching inputs with simple macros so I can share multiple monitors with multiple systems.
Recently, UnifiedPush where I can (currently just Megalodon for Mastodon sadly) as an alternative to using Google’s push notifications.
If you use signal, the fork Molly has UP support now
- LibreWolf, a privacy-optimized fork of Firefox
- Mull, hardened Firefox for Android.
- EteSync with self-hosted Etebase, an end-to-end encrypted solution for syncing calendars and contacts.
- Molly, a hardened Signal fork for Android.
- Accrescent, a secure, alternative app store for Android. Still in an early stage of development though.
- UnifiedPush, a privacy-friendly notification system.
- LibRedirect, a browser extension that automatically redirects you to private frontends for privacy invasive websites.
- movie-web, a web app that let’s you watch any movie/tv show for free. I highly recommend it.
- Seal, an amazing Android app for downloading videos. YTDLnis is an alternative.
- Cobalt downloader, a website that let’s you download basically everything imaginable from the internet. All kinds of posts, photos and videos from various social media platforms and many other websites.
- Linkwarden, a bookmark manager that can be self-hosted. Also check out Omnivore and wallabag.
- ArchiveBox, a self-hosted app for archiving websites.
- Tube Archivist, a self-hosted app for archiving YouTube videos/playlists/channels.
(I love downloading and archiving stuff lol)
Is EteSync free? It seems to be offering trials and paid plans.
That’s for their cloud hosting. But the self-hosted variant is completely free.
This is fantastic! Just started switching over to Librewolf and Mull. I discovered xBrowserSync in the process, which is a great way to sync browser bookmarks. https://www.xbrowsersync.org/
If you only use Firefox-based browsers, you don’t actually need the extension. You can simply enable Firefox Sync in the LibreWolf settings and it’s end-to-end encrypted by default.
Barrier: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
Edit: Input Leap looks like a promising KVM replacement for Barrier, thanks for sharing!
I love Barrier but need it to work with wayland.
Check out Input Leap
I think Input Leap is a fork that works on Wayland
I live and die by Simplenote. It’s one of the apps I’m in multiple times per day every day of my life.
It’s project management software made by and for worker cooperatives. It’s useful for any kind of organization where you want to be able to scale without introducing management hierarchy, want members to be able to come and go, and just generally value transparency and spontaneity.
Is it free? It’s suggesting a free trial.
It’s open source, so you can use their official hosted service or you can self host for free.
Kotatsu and Mira, both on F-Droid. Kotatsu makes it easier to read manga without a subscription and you can add your own DRM-free manga. Mira is similar but adds anime and K-drama streaming as an option as well.
Even though I am subbed to Crunchyroll, having an option to watch if I have to cancel to save money, that’s very helpful.
I used to use [a Windows 3.1 shrink-wrapped software package] that offered notepads and appointment calendars. Then I switched to Linux. That was 16 years ago. To take the place of the Windows application, I had to write my own list-maker from scratch. Today, there’s a new python3-pyqt5 version (under GNU General Public License) of my script for Linux and Windows desktops to help maintain the equivalent of index-card files. Obviously this is not something you’d use just to be like everybody else. I use it because I don’t really know how others handle their everyday lists and I can’t think of an easier way. If you, too, suspect it ought to be easier than it is, it may be. Please look at Tonto2. Thanks.
rclone - you can use cheapest cloud or s3 provider and sync encrypted data. Syncthing - sync across devices.
