LogSec for students, project organization, and the aspiring corkboard conspiracy theorist in your life wanting to be the next Mark Lombardi. Use markdown in a free flow style notes app that has powerful tools to connect ideas, so you can focus on the information as opposed the organization. Semantics instead of syntax, as it were.
Fuck my browser, it keeps suggesting me that one broken link from my history. The correct link is movie-web.github.io/docs
Thanks for pointing this out though
Just realized that a little quick start guide would be pretty useful, as the documentation isn’t very straight-forward:
You don’t need to self-host it, you can, but you don’t have to. Just go to any one of the public instances and either install the browser addon, or use this guide to deploy a proxy for free. This is useful if you can’t install browser addons, e.g. in the PWA or on a mobile browser that doesn’t support extensions. That’s it actually, you can now search for any movie/TV show you like and stream or download it completely for free.
Oh this is great! I love Stremio, but the idea of having something like it that runs on a web server where anyone in my house can just use a normal web browser without any additional software is a great improvement.
Dunno, Even Russia let the US to shutdown BTC-E. Its hard to imagine any country preventing the US military from entering with guns to shutdown something they their plutocrats said needs to go…
That’s why movie-web doesn’t uses many different sources located in multiple countries. It’s very unlikely that all those sites get shut down at the same time. And if they do, new mirrors will come up quickly.
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.
Not needed, it never connects to the content sources directly, it always uses a proxy. You can even deploy your own proxy for free on Cloudflare or Netlify.
Depends on you, if you don’t trust their proxies, you can deploy your own. movie-web is basically just a search engine (with a pretty good and user friendly UI/UX in my opinion) that pulls content from other sources.
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. www.xbrowsersync.org
My favourite program is CherryTree notes. It’s a hierarchical notes app which supports hyperlinking between nodes and to external files, URLs etc. I pretty much use it to organise my whole life! You can have it encrypted and make your own theme as well.
Helix text editor has been in my rotation recently, I like it a lot as a regular nvim user.
Just migrated from Arch to NixOS recently. Nix+Flakes+Home-manager define my entire system, including config files and pinned package versions, using three files. My system has never felt more stable and reproducible. I even found a flake which lets you declaratively manage Flatpaks (nix-flatpak).
It’s definitely a rabbit hole and it took me a few tries to stick with it, but after getting off the ground I don’t think I could ever go back.
Here are some helpful resources for using NixOS:
This video helped me understand the basic setup of flakes and home manager, as well as general NixOS syntax.
This site from Nix lets you look up every package on the repository, and if you click options at the top you can also search through every option related to your system and packages as well.
If you decide to use home manager for declaring user packages and dotfiles, I have been using this site which is similar to the official Nix search but specifically for home manager stuff.
The funny thing is that when Chrome was first released, I was pretty excited that open source web engines were becoming more widely adopted.
Whatever one thinks of the current dominance of Chrome, I vastly prefer it to the time when Internet Explorer 6 had >90% market share. Open standards and FOSS technologies really are a winning cause even if the end products aren’t always FOSS.
Borg for backup. I’m really surprised it’s not more widely known. It’s an incredible piece of software.
Also, not really lesser known software, but a lesser known feature of file systems including the ones we use in FOSS operating systems: extended file attributes - useful to add metadata to files without modifying them.
As an add-on (sort of) to Borg, I was told about Vorta yesterday and installed it to run scheduled, encrypted backups of my local machine to an external drive, but you can also ssh to a remote server if you wish. Works like a dream.
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.
