    Librera (android pdf+ reader).

    I spend a lot of time reading pdfs on my phone, this has done an excellent job. Well featured, responsive, and seems respectful of the battery.

    Ads or payment if you buy from the playstore, but free on F-droid and source code is here.

    Its good, i started using it because it allows you to inverts the colors, so you can turn your pdfs into white text on black background.

        strudel. From the website:

        With Strudel, you can expressively write dynamic music pieces.

        The best place to actually make music with Strudel is the Strudel REPL

        It's really fun to make music in it, I recommend trying it out!

        How is this better or an improvement over standard tidal cycles? Been using tidal cycles for a few years now. Even did a show with it!

        Fwiw I love Haskell. Is it just a port to Js or does it add features?

          I mean yeah technically it's not FOSS. But the code is open to review and doesn't do anything shady.

          I think the term most would use in this case would be "source available"

                I'd love to use this but I just mostly don't use multiple devices at the same time, so I don't see how the sync would ever happen.

                  Beware that syncthing is a bad backup strategy as it will update to sync the broken file (or even file deletion).
                  I advice to do some other sort of backup. Even a simple shell script that copies selected folders into selected location that you run from time to time is a better one.

                  Edit1: I've looked at my script, I use rsync for that.

                  Syncthing can easily be set to retain the last n copies. And you only need one or two to protect against corruption because you aren't editing a corrupted file. Likewise a lot of the KeepassX clients can snapshot periodically too. Been doing this for years with no issues over Linux/Win/iOS and Android.

                    Unfortunately, its not reliable. For large media files it gets stuck. Also, sometimes the local server is not discoverable on the other end. Even though I tried the troubleshooting step.

                    I had tested with windows and android so it could be different on Linux.

                    I've never personally had these issues. Sent large files without problem and never had discovery issues.

                        I have an instance on my phone running 24/7 which does the bridge.
                        But i dont use much storage, i mainly work with text files, so the pc at work syncs with my phone, and when i get home my own pc gets the files from my phone immediatly.
                        Its been working really well for years for me.

                          For some reason, I just can't get my Kubuntu desktop and Android phone to talk to each other with this. It does weirdly connect just fine on Arch/EndeavourOS, though.

                          Maybe kubuntu has some weird firewall default settings. When i tried using opensuse some years ago, it took me quite some time to figure out that it was its firewall that wasnt letting me use my printer and some other stuff i cant remember

                            I wish I could send a whole folder of files at once with this, mine seems to only work one file at a time.

                            You can also share access to your phones entire filesystem with kde connect, so you can browse you phones storage from dolphin as if ot was connected through usb and copy entire folders to/from you phone.

                                    CoolerControl - Fan control for Linux based on any available sensors.
                                    I find it much easier to use than fancontrol included with lm_sensors and much more reliable for me.

                                      I've tried it for a long time, and it's the best note-taking program, especially if you run the sync server yourself.

                                        We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let's change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:

                                        1. Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
                                        2. No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
                                        3. Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.
