Not discovered last year but ffmpeg.Crazy how many tools it can replace and how many usecase it has

Bronzie ,

Jellyfin and the .arr suite.

It’s absolutely incredible and I am so greatful to anyone with the skillset and dedication to develop and maintain things like these.

Currently playing with Proxmox and HomeAssistant too.

Hat of to all of you legends involved in FOSS

spotDL. Searches YouTube to download whole Spotify playlists and includes artwork and metadata.

Nothing. Discovered mine long before.

ZFS. It’s come so far, and it has so far to go. but it’s a good concept for sure.

I feel like if Sun had come out on top (instead of fucking Oracle), the tech space might be a better place

Paul ,

I can live without Logseq but for work and keeping a log of how that worked (other than bash history) It’s really useful

For some reason it never works for me, can’t locate the other device I want to send to/from.

Not discovered in the past year, but in the year before that:

Blender (program for 3D modelling, animation and rendering)

cobalt.tools(web-app for downloading video or audio content from youtube and other websites)

VLC (media player that plays almost everything)

What doesn’t it play?

nicerdicer ,

I discovered that VLC isn’t so good at playing .flv files. This are video files that are saved in the Adobe Flash Video container format. I have some episodes from cartoon series which I downloaded years ago. Sometimes there are no playback issues with VLC, but sometimes the audio track is delayed. For this reason I have installed IINA, but I like VLC’s user interface better.

Jimmycrackcrack ,

Weirdly enough I often find things playing back better in IINA than VLC even though as I understand it they’re basically the same under the hood. I also find the reverse occasionally as well.

nicerdicer , (edited )

The funny thing is that said .flv files could be played with VLC without any issue at the time I acquired them. I downloaded a bunch of cartoon episodes in this file format back in 2010 (?) when once-click-hosters like Megavideo were a big thing then. I was able to play them with the then current version of VLC without any problems.

Since then there were several updates with VLC and some time along the way it suddenly didn’t work that good anymore. I might add that this file format is not very common today (it was, when Adobe Flash was still around), so today there might be no incentive to maintain any old codecs for these type of files any longer.

When it gets worse with dwindling playback compatibility I probably have to acquire these files with a more recent file format (e.g. .mp4) in the future.

Jimmycrackcrack ,

It also in more recent years had an update that messed with it’s vcd playback ability. Don’t remember exactly the problem but I had a rip of an old vcd and was pleased that it played it back no trouble, and even from the original disc too but then a couple of years later it changed so I had to do something to extract an mpeg2 stream or something to get it to work and it from then on had audio issues that had never been there before.

It’s not good at displaying anime fansubs if they have complex typesetting. I have to use MPC-HC + madVR. Sadly those fansub styles are a dying breed…

Corrupted files

The Stargate SG-1 DVDs for some reason. All others I tried work fine.

SplashJackson ,

It can’t go back one frame at a time yet hsd no problem going forward at the same pace.

Pathetic.

MicrowavedTea ,
  • URLCheck: Bring back the “open link with…” functionality of android with so many more features
  • PassAndroid: I was looking for a wallet-type app to store tickets. This is the perfect combination of simple but works.

I also started using KDEConnect recently just for the remote input function and I already consider it essential.

LemmyHead ,

+1 for urlcheck and add Rethink firewall for me

moreeni ,

KDE connect is 🔥🔥🔥

Just want to drop in some alternatives, LinkSheet is pretty similar to URLCheck with many of the features, and fWallet in my opinion has nicer UI/UX than PassAndroid

stsquad ,

Magic Wormhole - it’s been around awhile but it’s super useful for moving files from your internet connected server to your phone without going through multiple hops copying stuff to you local machine and finding a cable.

Immich - Such a polished piece of software that I couldn’t imagine storing all my images without

hikaru755 ,

Seconding this. Legitimately better than Google photos in a lot of ways, even if you don’t care about the data ownership aspect. If you’ve ever been annoyed at how Google Photos handles face detection / grouping, you’ll love Immich.

“Can’t live without” is an overstatement, but here are mine:

  • Kvaesitso, search focused android launcher. I used to really like nova launcher’s local search and navigated my phone mostly using that. But once gensture navigation became a thing I had to stop using nova and replicate the experience in Samsung launcher with various local search apps that were lacking in comparison. Tried to go back a couple times once gestures with 3rd party launchers got better but found my old setup still too ugly and sluggish to go back to. Recently I randomly came across Kvaesitso on fdroid and it was everything I ever wanted out of a launcher.
  • Amberol music player. Not the ideal music player I’d like but at least it’s not Elisa.
  • Kid3, audio file tag editor. It has much better workflow/automation than mp3tag that I used in windows, and it seems if you spend some effort on it you could add more automation to make it even better.
Imhotep ,

I wish one of those search based launchers would implement a t9 keyboard for searching apps so I could replace Appdialer (which isn’t open source)
