To do list with time boxing/time tracking. No data collection--it's all local to your device. There are several DIY options to sync the desktop version with the mobile app.
Just started using this a few weeks ago and I was very impressed with it. Had all of the functions/features I needed.

There is an intro video to see the features, is really good:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15_-hgsX2V0Yea, I have to sit down and watch a few of their videos - I like that they went through the trouble to make a lot of video content for all of the features and uses as well, makes it really convenient to learn about passively.

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!

krusader is a dual-paned file manager for KDE. It runs on Linux (of course), MS Windows, and Mac OSX.
Folder sync is what makes krusader outstanding, even if you don't care about dual-pane file management. Open the two folders you want to sync in the panes and go to Tools > Synchronize Folders. You can synchronize both ways, exclude files, delete lone files, etc. Very powerful.
Being a KDE app, krusader does not skimp on features, so there are lots of other things that krusader can do.

ooo nice, maybe I could switch away from Total Commander after like 25 years

GIMP - unlike Krita - which is made for drawing - this is made for photo-editing. It's like Photoshop. The learning curve is a bit steep, but it is really powerful.

Learned about the mentos thing in 2006. Saw a list of things to flavor coke. This was #4 on the list and I decided to try it (yay mint coke) - at a dollar tree parking lot, in my car. Went off in my mouth and I maintained the pressure until I got the door open and my head out. Thankfully little mess on me or the car. Learned the internet can be full of sneaky assholes that day.

What if they connect to your hotspot?
That works but requires that you hand over a key for the hot-spot which makes it significantly more cumbersome, especially compared to airdrop

Inkscape - the best vector graphics program out there. So easy to use, and so powerful.
Inkscape is incredible! I needed to vectorize some images in pretty specific ways and struggled through the process with my usual drawing software (Clip Studio Paint). It sucked so much! Inkscape did the same thing much better in a fraction of the time

GrayJay platform player. I use it for youtube only but it has many sources.
Grayjay enables you to create and watch video content in your own terms, fully retaining ownership and having control over what you watch. Your content on your terms
https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/
(Not to poop on NewPipe, but this app is better in my opinion, I swapped after their player was bugged for me and I got a bit annoyed on the devs response to not adding SponsorBlock (you can say no to a feature ofc, but he decided to add reasoning that was bad))
Pretty sure the dev did add sponsor block but in another repo/app name. Or maybe it was another dev. Anyway Tubular is new pipe with sponsor block, snd PipePipe is a hard fork with other extras.

I know what you mean. Back in the day I worked at a graphics bureau, making logos and other illustrations. I worked in Illustrator, and though I could make what I wanted, when I tried Inkscape, it all just got so much easier - and so much more fun and intuitive to work with. Before I felt more like a constructor, and with Inkscape I feel more like a crafter/artist.

Syncthing means it and its backup lives on two laptops, a desktop and my phone.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

A little trick for people who are worried about putting business / work passwords in web-hosted managers such as Bitwarden: put just the username in Bitwarden, and put all the full information into KeepassXC.
Bitwarden will recognize the site and fill in the username - meaning you are at the correct site and are not being phished. Then, you can fill in the password from KeepassXC. This gives the benefits of browser-based managers while keeping more sensitive passwords (and recovery info) local-only.
If it is only about fishing, why not use the KeePass browser plugin? That can also autofill by domain.
