Space sniffer. Best and most underrated program to help clear your computer storage from random shit

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is space sniffer FOSS?

I thought it was closed source. In a similar vein, WizTree is a modern version of space sniffer. It's significantly quicker.

Ah shit I thought the title was free or open source 🤦‍♂️

rclone - you can use cheapest cloud or s3 provider and sync encrypted data. Syncthing - sync across devices.

KDE itinerary. Keeps track of all my train tickets, airline tickets, hotel bookings, etc... all offline. This is quite handy, especially for via rail in Canada as often internet can be sketchy when you need to bring up your tickets.

I like the energy, but this doesn't qualify as "lesser known"

Nebula, the overlay network thing. It connects all of my servers together, and me to my servers.

Shotcut helped me get rid of the heavy, bloated Premiere Pro.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I switched from Shotcut to Kdenlive as it seemed a lot more feature rich to me, still FOSS obviously

Have you used Davinci Resolve? Curious how it compares to that.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Resolve isn't open source. But Kdenlive might be a good alternative, it has more features than Shotcut.

Together with the ShareX extension (FF and Chromium), using with FileCoffee (setup script), a killer app

(FileCoffee isn't OpenSource, but i recommend it as one of the most private host and sharer (images, multimedia, video, documents, presentations, text.....), 100% free (account (free) optional), made in the EU (Netherland), best replacement of Imgur, which is a little less than spyware.)

I use also

And to turn off the bad habits and sniffings of Windows

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Cheers for recommendations.

I use:

  • proton VPN
  • Portmaster
  • Wintoys = Windows debloater (I also have another tool that has almost all debloaters for Windows)
  • Xnviewer = image viewer (will be checking out the one you’ve suggested)
  • CopyQ (Clipboard manager)
  • Start11 (Not open source but a good tool for taskbar customisation)
  • QuickLook (selecting a file or folder then pressing the space bar, you can view a document, video, folder, or song without having to open it)
  • HotKeyP - App launcher (I turn off all start-up apps and use this tool to launch all the desired apps with a single hotkey)
  • Flow Launcher - I can’t use Windows without Flow Launcher; it’s my universal search engine for everything.

Loomio

It’s project management software made by and for worker cooperatives. It’s useful for any kind of organization where you want to be able to scale without introducing management hierarchy, want members to be able to come and go, and just generally value transparency and spontaneity.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is it free? It's suggesting a free trial.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not free for cloud use, but it's free if you self host it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Actually you're kinda right, their own license doesn't allow commercial redistribution (kinda similar with CC:NC) which make them not open source. I personally have no problems with that though.
