LocalSend, a cross platform alternative to airdrop and nearby share.
My family uses it for almost all of our filesharing. IPhone to android, iPhone to windows PC, android to macbook, etc. Its works really, really well.
Syncthing, a peer to peer file synchronize that basically everyone needs, they just don’t know it.
It’s insane how many services sell file synchronisation as a premium feature when syncthing can do it for free and no one seems to use it
KepassXC for PC and KeepassDX for Android phones.
I personally would recommend it over Bitwarden since with Bitwarden you NEED internet to access your passwords, and even if is open source, i canmot trust it, security breaches can happen in any time, having your vault locally stored helps a lot.
There are more but i can’t Remember them right now.
These would also be my top two apps. Absolutely essential pieces of kit IMO.
The android integration is just so good these days. Syncing is the only minor issue but it is minor.
Hoe do you sync it? I’ve been meaning to make the switch to these for a long time now, but still not gotten around to it.
I used to use Dropbox, but switched to Nextcloud years ago.
Do you use KeePassDX on Android? If so, how do you access the vault from Nextcloud?
I’ve been using KeePassDroid. Nextcloud has an option to set files to favorites which keeps them local on Android.
linux, unironically. literally all local infrastructure is running on windows, despite the security risks this entails.
Jitsi - Open-source and self-hosted video conference platform. You can even try it directly on their website.
IPFS - A distributed file sharing technology which is wonderful for file or site hosting (edit: wether it is uncensorable is open for debate)
Rust - A programming language and a powerful compiler that creates compiled memory-safe programs and can be used nearly everywhere
Fedora + KDE - A combination of a stable modern OS and a complete desktop environment
Wine - launch Windows programs on the latter

Never heard of it…
Bitwarden an open source, simple password manager it does it’s job very well
I would personally recommend KeepassXC foe PC and KeepassDX for Android phones, just having your Vault available locally is a lot better than relying on a server that can get a security breach in any moment, not to mention the Keepass’s Vaults are encrypted and no one can access them without the , key or physical key, with KeepassXC and KeepassDX, you only will need ONE password 😁
I get the thought, but your phone can also have a security breach at any moment, ESPECIALLY because normal user error is by far the weakest and most often exploited attack vector.
Bitwarden’s vaults are also encrypted with the option for even stronger argon2id encryption. Bitwarden themselves can’t access them or reset them. It is open source and most importantly, audited. KeypassXC has only had one audit ever. (Though that passed and I would also definitely recommend keypassXC, it is great software security-wise)
The database is stored, encrypted, once on their server and once to each device you sync to, so it is available locally.
Even if they had a security breach, by design the assailant couldn’t access your database any more than they could access your keypass database.
You can also self-host it which would bring it exactly to the level of keypassX variants as far as attack surface.
Not to mention with bitwarden, you will also only need one key. That is the whole point of a password manager.
“It is available locally and a lot better…” is simply untrue. They are both great options. Just whatever works best for the person. Bitwarden has a ton more QoL options and enterprise options, plus separate, shared password databases and such for families and companies. Again, just as secure.
While I personally use KeepassXC and Keepass2Android on mobile devices (as with KeepassDX there is no reliable way of syncing the database that I know of) to other less tech-inclined people I’d always recommend Bitwarden as it is much more suitable to most people’s usecases.
Personally? KeepassXC is more user-friendly, i beleive Keepass2Android is more confusing
I would prefer being able to use KeepassDX on my mobile (I assume you meant that), but I got burnt trying to use that while syncing my database through my Nextcloud. KDX does not check for external changes before overwriting the database, and with background-sync being as unreliable as it is on android, I have lost a few passwords that way without noticing it.
@uzay Try Syncthing. If there is any conflict, syncthing keeps the conflicted file, and then keepass is able to merge them, so in the worst case some of your deleted passwords will come back, but you’ll never lose any.
Yeah, there are ways of fixing it after the fact, but that is too inconvenient and error-prone for me. I prefer if my Keepass app just makes sure my database is up to date before making any changes
I don’t even have a nextcloud, i just keep my database on a single folder sync across my tablet and phone, if you could set up the nextcloud to sync in rhat same folder you (theorically) would have no problems 🤔
I mean that’s what I had been doing. The issue was just that the background sync of the nextcloud app on android wasn’t reliable enough and KeepassDX had no mechanisms to check for external changes before overwriting
Then i can’t help you, Use whatever works and it’s trustworthy enough for you, just don’t be surprised and come crying if Bitwarden SOMEHOW gets a security breach.
VSCodium is the open source part of VSCode, so I prefer to use that.
Mull is firefox on android without the proprietary parts. Heliboard is a good android keyboard.
GrapheneOS!
Xournal - a great way to draw on pdfs
OpenStreetmap as an alternative to the closed source maps.
OrganicMaps or OsmAnd to navigate and StreetComplete or EveryDoor to improve it.
DietPi, for setting up an SBC (ie raspberry pi) with common server software. very good for a first-time self hoster like myself.
yunohost it’s basically an os that easily lets you selfhost, by having an extremely big amount of selfhosted services packaged with scripts that autonatically set everything up and all of that trough a clear and modern web interface.
I think two assumptions to this whole 10k people/day metric cause it to be inaccurate pseudoscience:
-
It assumes people learn things at random times, causing the distribution to average over 30 years.
-
It assumes everyone learns a thing by age 30. If you talk to anyone over 80 years old I guarantee they’ll tell you they don’t know everything.
It’s a sweet sentiment, but it bugs me how people keep quoting this like there’s any truth behind it.
I think the spirit of the comic remains intact even if the math and assumptions are easily attacked.
I didn’t mean for that to rhyme.
