Qalc. Best calculator ever hands down

Right now https://jeena.github.io/recoder/ which I just released and here is why (copied from the website):

🎬 Why Recoder?

I used to edit family videos in Kdenlive without a problem — it handled footage from all our devices without complaining. But then I switched to DaVinci Resolve, and suddenly nothing worked right. My Sony Alpha 7C, my Galaxy S24, and my wife's iPhone all produced files that Resolve couldn’t handle without transcoding.

😤 Too Much Fuss, Too Many Steps

Every time I wanted to edit, I had to hunt down the right ffmpeg settings and manually run them on each video — a frustrating and repetitive task.

My typical workflow is simple: I create one folder per event on an external HDD and drop in videos from all our cameras. A script renames the files based on the date and time so I can easily sort them. But for Resolve, everything has to be transcoded to DNxHD — which only supports resolutions like 1920×1080 and 1280×720.

🔄 Vertical Videos? Extra Pain

That also meant vertical videos couldn’t work. So now, I rotate them during transcoding to preserve resolution and rotate them back in Resolve during editing.

✨ Enter Recoder

I built Recoder to automate this annoying step — so I could spend more time editing memories and less time fiddling with command-line tools.

I like game emulation and to manage my ROM library, I use Geode-GEM. It is simple but cusomizable app to manage your ROM based on console and emulator you have.

The Docker Engine makes hosting applications over your network easy, if you have spare hardware I highly recommend setting up your own server.

Great topic. I'm going to have to investigate some of these suggestions later.

Since my first pick, helix, was already mentioned here and i commented on it, I'll add gitui. Git can be very overwhelming for me. Gitui arranges frequently used git commands in a sensible, visual layout and makes it easy for me to understand and interact with git.

Ed Along with rlwrap it gives me a very fast and powerful workflow.

Rlwrap It wraps around a program and gives it the ability to make use ofthe readline lib.

Screen I use it when I boot without X. Gives a very fast workflow, being able to switch between programs.

Mpv Multimedia powerhouse. Even works (pretty) well without X, with a framebuffer.

Ecasound Cli daw. Have several scripts to make a recording on the fly or to be able to jam.

this is more a selfhosted thing but i adore it: https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet

you can write your own Javascript functions (will be lua in the near future) and use them directly in the editor.

Any benefits to help notes stuff over obsidian or other?

Ocenaudio for audio editing. It's not FOSS but it's native, simple to use, and doesn't have backend library issues I kept having with audacity.

I do a fair amount of pentesting and I'm on mobile, so I'll just list software.

Trufflehog & nosey parker (both kinda suck, but there's nothing better)

Subfinder

Nuclei

Credmaster

To name a few.

For me it's Perl's rename, which of course cones in a variety of package names depending on the distro you use. In trying to find a link, I landed on this stack exchange answer that gives a great overview of how the tool works and the different packages available on different distros.

I have to bulk rename files every day, and using regex and the other features of Perl's rename makes it so much easier to do.
