Title says it all. I’ll go first:
I don’t really have any on my computer (all I use that for is Vim, Firefox, and Git), but on my phone: Orbot (basically Tor as a VPN on your phone).

Everyone knows about VLC but I don’t think many people know it has a really good Android app! I use it as my primary music app and it’s great. Even has android auto support and a surprisingly sleek interface.
I’m assuming it doesn’t work with Jellyfin or Subsonic, does it?
I haven’t used those so I don’t think so. But it lets you add music from local networks, and you can add streams from a URL (even supports youtube links, which is a way to watch youtube without ads without pihole or a third party app).
InnerTune. Basically all you could need for free music streaming. Beautiful FOSS client that rips from YouTube music.
I see around all the time on here.
Just wanted to say hi.
Hi!
👋👁️🫦👁️👋
What’s the difference between Orbit and Tor Browser? I always wondered why people download Orbot instead of Tor Browser?
Orbit acts as a VPN and effects the entire system, so all of your apps get routed through ToR.
I sometimes use this one called InviZible Pro on F-Droid. Have you ever used that? In addition to whole system TOR, it also has Purple I2P and DNSCrypt. Was wondering why one would use one over the other regarding whole system TOR? Just curious.
I’ve never heard of InviZible, it looks supper cool. Although, I can’t really give it a try right now (I’m using an iPhone – I had a Motorola, but the battery gave out on me a few months? ago and I can’t find a good price for a replacement).
I use Tachiyomi (J2K fork) for reading manga and manhwa, and Shosetsu for fanfiction (AO3 extension). MoeList for MAL (My Anime List), Myne for public domain books, and Librera for EBUPs (I like using TTS). Also NewPipe (SponsorBlock fork) is my only YouTube client.
Resilio Sync instead of something like Dropbox or Google Drive.
Fastmail is pretty solid too.
Resilio Sync
How does it compare to something like Syncthing?
Never used syncthing so I’m not sure. Resilio is running a modified bittorrent protocol. It’s always been fast and easy for me so I’ve never had the motivation to look into anything else.
Sounds cool! I’ll have to give it a shot sometime!
- KeepassXC [password locker]
- SyncThing [keep some dirs synced between computers]
- Thunderbird [Check 4 email accounts simultaneously]
- PikaBackup [Relatively easy disk backup utility]
- FSearch [Fast searcher of all files on my computer. Like Search Everything for Windows but worse in many ways]
- AudioBookshelf [Podcast server]
I use all of those pretty regularly. Honorable mention on iOS is a program called Is It Snappy? which helps me measure input lag. It doesn’t collect any data or run ads (rare trait on a phone app). I actually made a purchasing decision with the help of this thing to correctly conclude that the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller had a noticeable input delay (enough to make me return it). The funny thing about that was if I just looked up spreadsheets others have done I would have seen that same conclusion there, too, without having to go through the effort of buying it myself :P.
PikaBackup
Out of curiosity, its there a reason not to just SyncThing your
~/Documents, or is it more of a Time Machine for Gnome kinda deal?FSearch
Oh wow, that looks nice, epically that RegEx support (actually serious, I am a huge fan of RegEx).
Nintendo Switch Pro Controller had a noticeable input delay (enough to make me return it)
Nintendo do be like that… have you found a good alternative, or just the Joycons?
PikaBackup is more of a Time Machine style backup system. Not just for Gnome, it simply is made with the GTK.
Ultimately, I went with a Sony DualSense for my latest gaming controller. It has low latency when wired and the buttons are not clacky. Solid construction. I also have an 8BitDo Pro 2, which has one thing I especially like – hardware turbo buttons. The rest of the controller is merely OK, and IMO not worth the extremely high praise it otherwise receives. Serviceable controller.
I use a lot of paid survey apps I’ve made a nice bit of money on (as tedious as it is). Qmee, Attapoll, Survey Spin and Leger opinion.
Working an hour at McDonald’s will make more then like a days worth of doing those lol. Do something more productive like grind levels in an MMO.
You could probably do these surveys while working some jobs that pay more than McDonald’s.
Those surveys really pay chump change
I have two jobs. This is something I can do to make mad money for myself and I’ve made 3500 dollars this far. I don’t know what na an MMO is.
MMO = Massively Multiplayer Online (game)
You do you. $3500 is hard to argue with. Other person is just jealous.
