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

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.

Ete-Sync

Do you self-host Etebase?

[–] wildbus8979 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yup :)

Nice, found a follow Etesync/Etebase user. Am I the only one who's worried, because there isn't much development lately?

[–] wildbus8979 2 points 5 months ago

I'm a little bit worried, but like I was saying as long as they keep up with upstream vulnerabilities in dependencies and any bulbs that come up that's ok..software doesn't have to be constantly evolving for it to be useful and usable.

You know what I want? Bookmarks in Ete-Sync!

Also we were promised native gnome accounts, and while there's part of the work done through Evolution, it doesn't work via the account center.

I just self-host the Firefox sync server. It also uses E2EE. Linux desktop integration would be pretty neat though.

Thanks, didn't think about that. I should have a look!
