I agree

Or NextDNS

If you don’t need to configure everything yourself, you can also check out Mullvad’s public DNS or dnsforge

Immich is funded by FUTO btw

Why?

An Alpine user, cool! What is it like to use it as your primary desktop OS? I have only played around with it on servers or in VMs and containers.

Paru > yay

On Arch I don’t need any, I just run paru without any options, which by default invokes a full Pacman update, as well as updating all AUR packages. But I have a system maintenance script, that, besides doing some other stuff that’s specific to my system, runs paru -Sc --noconfirm to clean the Pacman package cache, and delete unneeded cloned AUR Git repos and build artifacts.

It’s impressive how many things can be achieved with nothing more than the power of open source software

Rclone with crypt seems pretty nice

Onze Menu

The new Element X is written in Rust and thus memory-safe. SchildiChat Next is based on it.

Fluffychat and Syphon are pretty good

I think Avalonia is pretty great for C# cross-platform UI stuff. JetBrains Rider is the best C# IDE on Linux.

Yes

Finding anything FOSS with Spotify integration will be basically impossible. Clock You is a great clock/alarm app in general, of course no Spotify integration though. But you can choose custom music you have downloaded on your device.

OSS Document Scanner is great. It’s also available in the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repository: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.akylas.documentscanner

Nothing about the program itself is subscription based. All of the normal features of an email client (that you would also find in Thunderbird) are available for free. You only need to pay if you want to use their services like Send later, read receipts or link tracking, because these requires backend servers and actually costs the money.

It doesn’t work, because it relies on Piped/Invidious. Both are currently broken, because Google is trying everything to block third party clients/APIs/proxies for YouTube.

Well yeah, I agree. FOSS apps do lack features like logging in (to a Google account), the recommendation algorithm, etc. On the other hand, ReVanced is not exactly easy to install for new users. Both approaches are valid and get the job done (blocking annoying ads). I appreciate the calm and pleasant conversation.

I know that it exists, I don’t think it’s a particularly good solution on Android though. There are native apps like the ones I mentioned before.

Btw syncing an SQLite database with syncthing sounds painful. How often do you have to deal with sync conflicts?
