It’s niche as hell, but Syncplay lets you sync up the playback of video files through VLC or MPV player as long as everyone has the same video file stored locally. Better quality then steaming and works on low bandwidth connections.

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

Instead of Start11, use Rainmeter (FOSS), to customize not only the taskbar, but almost the whole UI + all kind of widgets. You can create your own skin (scripts), or use one of the hundreds made by the community in Deviantart and other sites (links in the homepage). Complete Wiki and tutorils. Before i forgot that i use also FreeTube and SMplayer as externplayer, if FreeTube fails, Gimp and Krita, but i think that these are already well known apps.
Never heard of wintoys. How does it compare to win-debloat-tools?

Stremio. A free Netflix-like UX for streaming bittorrents.
movie-web is another cool web app for streaming movies/tv shows
That link is a 404
Fuck my browser, it keeps suggesting me that one broken link from my history. The correct link is https://movie-web.github.io/docs
Thanks for pointing this out though
Just realized that a little quick start guide would be pretty useful, as the documentation isn’t very straight-forward:
You don’t need to self-host it, you can, but you don’t have to. Just go to any one of the public instances and either install the browser addon, or use this guide to deploy a proxy for free. This is useful if you can’t install browser addons, e.g. in the PWA or on a mobile browser that doesn’t support extensions. That’s it actually, you can now search for any movie/TV show you like and stream or download it completely for free.
Oh this is great! I love Stremio, but the idea of having something like it that runs on a web server where anyone in my house can just use a normal web browser without any additional software is a great improvement.
Does movie-web use torrents too?
I spent a few minutes googling what the source for the movies is, with no luck. Any insight?
Showbox, VidSrcTo, Goojara, ZoeChip, HDRezka, VidSrc, Nepu, GOmovies, RidoMovies, FlixHQ, SmashyStream, Remote Stream
So not torrents?
No
Thank you!

Fuck Lemmy. I’m only here because there is nothing better (yet)
668 comments in 1 month. It means you like the content of lemmy
Yes. The content produced by the users.
Lemmy devs are making the same mistake reddit made. They’re throwing the users under the bus, when its the users that make the platform.
You can start your own instance, and you could even develop a compatible, federated protocol like kbin. That’s the beauty of the fediverse.
Starting my own instance would just make me legally vulnerable because the tools for moderation dont exist.
I will likely jump to sublinks when available, which was created because of these issues.
Why?
Mostly because the devs are assholes that are throwing instance admins anf users under the bus by refusing to work on moderation tools and data privacy law related issues.
Are they refusing patches, or are you just expecting people to do what you want for free?
They are refusing patches and we as a community do expext them to address serious legal issues that they are being paid by the community to address.
Its funny to watch them make the same mistakes as reddit.

The Fossify apps do look pretty slick.

Sorting tool: Phockup
OCR: OCRmyPDFI use the Unison file sync tool to keep backups of all my important files on flash drives and servers. For mobile devices I do use Syncthing because MTP is painfully slow and taking the SD card out of the device to plug it in is too much of a hassle, but I would rather use Unison.
Why do you prefer it over syncthing?
With Unison syncing is a manual process, I run it and it tells me what’s changed on each side and I can make changes as appropriate. Syncthing is a bit too automatic for my taste and its conflict resolution is a bit more involved.
Ah thank you, that wasn’t obvious to me from its website
My favourite program is CherryTree notes. It’s a hierarchical notes app which supports hyperlinking between nodes and to external files, URLs etc. I pretty much use it to organise my whole life! You can have it encrypted and make your own theme as well.
I just moved to Notion but Dokuwiki was my go-to for well over a decade.
I’ve switched to BookStack. It’s a different take on a wiki, but pretty good concept.
Grisbi, for finances.
Next cloud and only office. Bye bye google drive
Jellyfin bye bye Plex and Netflix
How are you hosting nextcloud with only office? I’ve tried multiple times to get Only Office working with Nextcloud, and while I can get Nextcloud up and running, Only Office never properly works for me. It always weirdly edit locks files and doesn’t allow basic functionality.
Paperless has taken me from various stacks of important documents strewn around my apartment, to having all of these things nicely organised and searchable.
Absolutely second this. Its been a game changer
