Mine is Local Send which is a FOSS alternative similar to air drop that works across a variety of devices.

    This isn’t exactly “can’t live without,” that would be HomeAssistant. But what I Immediately thought of?

    Beyond All Reason

    This is an RTS game in the spirit of Total Annihilation.

    • labor of love
    • fully 3d, including ability to rotate or raise/lower view
    • tens of thousands of units without hardware lag for reasonably modem hardware (3-4 years old)
    • all shots actively rendered, leading to:
    • realistic friendly fire
    • even air units can get hit by ballistic shots targeting land units (although odds are fairly slim)
    • redirect-unit-to-dodge micro is effective in some situations
    • meaningful terrain
    • radar will have blind spots based on line-of-sight
    • radar gives clear indicator of coverage during placement
    • two factions, almost 200 units each, with tier 1, 2, and 3 units. A third (currently playable with a setting change) faction is in the works.
    • crafty, non-cheating ai opponents
    • free server hosting (!)
    • active servers all times of day

    The overall feel and balance of the game is great. The changes they make to balance are generally light and reasonable, and the game had a good community.

    Fam and friends play together often.

    Locate command. I know it’s a command in thw terminal but since I had to apt install it I’m adding it here.

    I absolutely love it.

    Variety - a silly taskbar program that changes my background randomly from my own selected sources with added random quotes. I have it set to change my background every 3 hours and the quotes every hour I think. I just can’ live without it anymore.

    My choice is screen on the CLI. It’s an old one, but I just learned about it this year and it’s been amazing helpful doing complex, long-running tasks via SSH.

      In that same vein, give zellij a look! I use it pretty constantly whenever I’m sshing in a nominatim server

      Screen is great, i used it for a long time to keep my Minecraft server process running on a raspberry pi. I recently just switched from screen to tmux

        Yep! You can have multiple named screens, log them all individually, and they’ll keep processes running even if you disconnect. Never used tmux but screen is usually installed on the systems I’m working on.

    Navidrome, as a music server. It’s very convenient to have a central place to host your music.

    My biggest issue is that it doesnt’t support multiple artists yet.

      I think Jellifyn does. You can also set up watch partys. Navidrome is lighter and more responsive tho.

    Immich as an alternative to Google Photos, it has all the main features but it’s self hosted.

      Is it stable yet to use it? I’ve seen it and it looks promising, but it’s also under active development.

        I’ve never had anything bad happen to my library, but I do back it up regularly. The only “bad” thing might be there’s often breaking changes where you just need to update your docker compose yml when you pull a new immich update.

      Kde connect is great, iv always thought about using it but never got round to it as im current using a wm instead of a desktop environment. If i was to switch to a desktop environment kde would be my first choice as it has so many features.

      I’ve had issues with it for file sharing, so far that I’m sticking to LocalSend, but I really need to explore KDEConnect further, as I haven’t explored the rest of its features.

        There’s also a still in-development rival for GNOME, Valent. And it’s a native program and not just a shell extension. I prefer it, and maybe it even has more features.

      I found it to be more than I needed. I still have it installed, but use localsend more often

    Termux. A Debian-based Linux system running on top of unrooted Android.
    It lets you interface with your phone’s functions (GPS, calls, etc.), and install packages to extend functionality.
    Turned my phone into a mobile network troubeshooting device, lets me grep through my sms, and I can ssh into my server on the go.

    With AnLinux you can install a full standard linux system in it, including a GUI, and connect to it with a VNC viewer. (AnLinux is just a helper script linking to some dude’s repo, so if you are at all security-minded, you can also bootstrap and install any Linux distro manually).
    So you could have a Debian with Gnome desktop running on your unrooted phone.

    conduwuit, a matrix home server it is so much faster and works so much better than the Dendriter server it replaced.

      conduwuit is a fork of the less “energic” conduit.rs software, and both are maintained by the community, not by the Element people, like Dendrite.
