Mine is Local Send which is a FOSS alternative similar to air drop that works across a variety of devices.

      Would be awesome if they offered an alternative forge & chat so they aren’t locked entirely to proprietary software for communication / contribution. 😔

        Yeah, it’s not. Leads to weird situations on Linux handheld where you paste in your purchased binary if it’s compatible, or you use an emulator like fake08 that has good, but not perfect, compatibility.

        There’s also Homarr for those who prefer a nice and easy frontend to install the arr suite and more.

    Freetube.

    Once they added quick playlist functionality earlier this year, it was over for YouTube for me.

    At this point it has everything I need and could only use small QoL improvements to be absolutely perfect for me.

    HomeAssistant, it’s such an awesome Tool. You want to combine your plant sensors with air quality sensors and an plant light? Easily done. You want to forward your mastodon follower count to an mqtt-LED-Pixel-Clock? No problem.

    It’s just an amazing piece of software.

      Pretty cool, I use it as well. Works with basically everything thanks to the big community.

      I just wish it allowed for proper programming of the automations. I despise the YAML-as-code hack they are using. I get it, it’s much easier to offer a GUI editor for such a format. It feels very limited and cumbersome compared to regular programming though.

      My favorite thing I’ve done with hass is put a color-changing light bulb by my front door. It’s connected to the weather forecast. I know what the weather will be at a glance without a website or going outside. (Where I live, it’s not always obvious when I’m gonna get rained on.)

    DeltaChat.

    It packetises and encrypts chats, using email(SMTP) as the transport medium. Sends downsampled pics, videos or push-to-talk audio by default. Can send full quality pics, videos, or attachments too, as a file.

    Integrates with Jitsi Meet to connect video-calls.

    It’s available on F-Droid, and you can use a seperate free-email-address(100MB limit) for the SMTP backend (from https://nine.testrun.org/ ), or use your own existing email address.

    Elegant and robust.

    Superproductivity is great for tasks. It can even sync issues with apps (Gitlab, Jira, etc.) Pair it with Obsidian or any note taking app and you can forget work todos outside of work.

    For the windows users: Powertoys has bunch of utilities. Without this windows is unusable for me.

      t I started using QGIS professionally when the small city that hired me to, among a lot of other duties, be the new GIS department.

      Turns out they thought ArcGIS cost the same as like Office or Acrobat, and they didn’t budget for it for the fiscal year that started 2 weeks before I started working.

      Anyway, I’ve gotten pretty good with

      could you please tell what seperates it from planify though?

    I’ve known about it for longer but just started using KDE Connect over the last year or so.

    It’s got some bugs, at least for me. Like sometimes my phone won’t connect to my computer or like the SMS feature takes forever to load, but having something akin to Pushbullet but free from endhitification has been really great.

    That would be Kodi which I now use on a Mini-PC with Lubunto which has replaced my TV Box and my Media Player (plus that Mini-PC also replaces a bunch of other things and even added some new things).

    Before I went down a rabbit whole of trying to replace my really old Asus Media Player (which was so old that its remote was broken and I replaced it with my own custom electronics + software solution so that I could remote control that Media Player from an Android app I made running on my tablet) which eventually ended up with Kodi on a Linux Mini-PC also replacing my TV box, I had no idea Kodi even existed and was just using the old Media Player to browse directories with video files in a remote share (hosted on a hacked NAS on my router, a functionality which is now on that Mini-PC which even supports a newer and much faster SMB protocol) using a file browser user interface to play those files.

    It was quite the leap from that early 00s file browser interface to chose files to play on TV to a modern “media library” interface covering all sorts of media including live TV (why it ended up also replacing my TV box).

        I haven’t tried Jellyfin but people’s talk of it doing transcoding (which Kodi doesn’t need to do as it simply decodes the video stream and shows it on the video output) leaves me with the idea that it’s not quite the same and does things I don’t really need.

          Yes, I liked the interface of Jellyfin as a more family friendly media browsing UI but I hate the wasted CPU cycles of transcoding unnecessarily.

    I didn’t discover it this uear, but I started using QGIS professionally when the small city that hired me to, among a lot of other duties, be the new GIS department.

    Turns out they thought ArcGIS cost the same as like Office or Acrobat, and they didn’t budget for it for the fiscal year that started 2 weeks before I started working.

    Anyway, I’ve gotten pretty good with QGIS, and we’re sticking with it. It does everything I need it to do, and I can still pull stuff from most REST servers.

      ESRI is in the position that Microsoft and Adobe want to be in, a de-facto monopoly.

      As a GIS person all I can is …fuck yeah. I’m for better or worse deeply embedded in the ESRI world but I’ve started dabbling in FOSS GIS software and honestly it’s all damn good. I don’t understand how ESRI charges what they do. Also, FME is amazing if you haven’t tried it yet (not free or open source) but awesome for quick visual development and data ETL.

        I will give ESRI credit for their online stuff. It’s expensive, but it’s also pretty great. We’re actually thinking about getting an online subscription but no software licenses.

      We’ve been using QGIS at my company for almost 8 years at this point and I really love it. The python integration and deep plugin repository render it head and shoulders above ESRI. Although I admit for enterprise solutions many will still require the turn-key solutions esri offer.
