btop is a TUI (or TTY) resource monitor and management tool
- Very intuitive and easy to use
- Highly configurable
- Supports mouse
- Option to filter processes
- Theming support
That’s really neat, and in the Debian main repos.
How do you like it next to htop?
Btop is kinda like htop but with the advantages that I mentioned
It def looks cooler, whatever that’s worth
and suddenly I’ve found something new to install. Thank you for the screenshot!

ViMusic, android APK to play music from youtube, Ive just come across it when I wanted to listen to some OST that were only on youtube and my phone by default doesn’t let me play youtube and block the screen. Im not gonna pay any subscriptions ever.
ViMusic has been unmaintained for a while AFAIK. Use RiMusic instead.
firefox on android allows you to play youtube and block the screen.
ViMusic is not maintained anymore.
Someone forked it as RiMusic and fixed a lot of bugs with the original version and added the ability to download songs (as opposed to hoping they stay cached)
You can use newpipe
GrapheneOS!
I’d love to use it especially since Android Auto is working on it, too. The only thing holding me back is not being able to pay with my phone. I’m currently only having my phone and keys with me. So it’s extra convenient to not have to take my wallet with me.
But to be fair the devs can’t make anything against that restriction as of now. I still wish there would be some way to be able to pay contactless using your card with GrapheneOS.
I’m in the exact same boat. If someone figures out how to get tap-to-pay working on graphene, I’ll be daily driving it so fast.
For all note taking, I enjoy ZimWiki.
How is it compared to other note taking software such as Logseq or Joplin (if you ever tried them too)?
A lot simpler, IMO. That said, I’m still mainly using plain markdown.
Obsidian?
That one isn’t Open-Source, unfortunately. Plain old MD works well, if but quite as fancy as Obsidian.
xpra: it is like tmux but for X windows (works on wayland), but it can do much more than that. You can seamlessly run GUI programs from a container or VM on your main desktop while still sandboxing their X capabilities, forward windows from Windows desktops, and it has efficient encoding so it is usable over poor connections as well.
LocalSend, a cross platform alternative to airdrop and nearby share.
My family uses it for almost all of our filesharing. IPhone to android, iPhone to windows PC, android to macbook, etc. Its works really, really well.
I love this. Its great. I use this and syncthing if I want to move files across.
Just picked this up based on the up votes here, and I’m already a fan. Seems like it does what you want and nothing else, which is perfect.
Just tried it - so simple, so good. Thanks for posting about this!
Yeah I just found that diamond!
thank you for this recommendation! i hope i can convince my friends to start using it
Shutter encoder, it has a ton of useful tools built in for quick video conversion, compression, trimming, etc, and it works very well for batch encoding of a lot of different video files
Affine, its a surprisingly feature rich notes app (open source but all cloud features are currently paid)
KopiaUI, an easy to use automatic backup program
Darktable Great digital photography RAW editor. Alternative to Adobe Lightroom.
Typst, Nix, Git, Blender
You think Git and Blender are unknown?
Being unknown was not a premise in the question.
Video Downloader. https://github.com/Unrud/video-downloader
Strips all junk off any video url so you have the mp4 or mkv.
Use this to add youtube videos/playlists to jellyfin. Doesn’t have to be youtube. Downloads any videos from a link.
Can also save audio only from video links if you want to.
And if you find yourself needing a less simple but more powerful tool for this:
how does it compare to yt-dlp?
it’s a GUI for yt-dlp
for a quick web based downloader I use https://cobalt.tools/
Freetube also has a handy download feature
i’ve been using yt-dlp for youtube videos for ages (supports about a million others as well)
Supports metadata nicely which is beneficial, obviously.
It’s great for porn!

TrailSense, an easy to use, comprehensive wilderness tool.
The goals of the developer are fun to consider:
Goals
-
Trail Sense must not use the Internet in any way, as I want the entire app usable when there is no Internet connection
-
Features must provide some benefits to people using the app while hiking, in a survival situation, etc.
-
Features should make use of the sensors on a phone rather than relying on stored information such as guides
-
Features must be based on peer-reviewed science or be verified against real world data
Likewise, the features being developed under those goals are great for getting outside:
Features
- Designed for hiking, backpacking, camping, and geocaching
- Place beacons and navigate to them
- Follow paths
- Retrace your steps with backtrack
- Use a photo as a map
- Plan what to pack
- Be alerted before the sun sets
- Predict the weather
- Use your phone as a flashlight
Downloaded it and I love it!
Can’t wait to take a picture of a trailhead map and try tracking myself on it.
It works pretty well! I found in my one quick test that a pair of known points on a diagonal offer the best tracking. Definitely need to play with that feature again.
Trailsense is amazing
How does the metal detector work? I’ve never heard of a phone being able to do that.
It uses the magnetic field sensor on the phone (compass). It can only detect magnetically active metals and also kinda weakly, but it’s quite fun!

KDEConnect - I use it on Windows and android phone. Very nice when you get security codes or links on phone, want to send files or when I want to control audio|video and I watch from the couch.
in general: Freedroid nearly always has a os, more feature rich and performant alternative
For those wondering it is a linux-first software, and works better on there
It’s a good idea for note taking.
what is?
I use Arch btw. 😅 (well, actually I don’t any more, but this had to be here)
not really.
- Thumb-Key — A flick keyboard for mobile phones; a FOSS alternative to MessagEase created by Lemmy’s own Dessalines. It’s not perfect, neither was MessagEase, but for what it is it’s pretty damn good and definitely beats using a mobile QWERTY keyboard.
- Ibis — A federated wiki created by Lemmy’s own Nutomic. It’s currently pretty barebones with little activity, but I’d like to see more interest in the project so that it can grow and improve. I think it has a lot of potential.
I’ve been slowly trying thumbkey but seem to be struggling to get to the point where I feel comfortable using it over qwerty. I love the concept as I also hate using qwerty… Yet I still seem more accurate using the crutch of autocorrect. With thumbkey I have to go back and correct more than I thought I would. I can kinda touch-type at a decent rate now but I definitely need more practice.
All of this is to ask: is there a point where I will be so comfortable as to not need to fear misspelling something without this crutch of autocorrect?
i’m trying it now as I love the idea, but how do I add capitals?
The key just to the left of the # key, i.e. the A key in the default Thumb-Key layout, should have a ▲ for the upward swipe. That swipe is how you get into shift mode. Swipe up on that key again to enter caps-lock; swipe down on that key to release the shift/caps-lock.
PERFECT Thank you.
If it’s created by the Lemmy devs, capital letters might not be included. Might have only communist and socialist letters :P
is there a point where I will be so comfortable as to not need to fear misspelling something without this crutch of autocorrect?
I can’t speak for how long it will take you specifically, but yeah, I absolutely think you can get to that point. I don’t really remember how long it took me to learn, but it couldn’t have been more than a few weeks, and I think I had some factors which were working to my advantage, anyways. Have you adjusted any of the settings?
Is his other software as shitty as lemmy?
That’s a bit mean, I think Lemmy is pretty good all things considered.
I mean it’s a massive legal risk to instance admins. Its not shitty due to not enough resources. Its shitty because they intentionally focus on stupid features and ignore (and scold) their community of users when they ask them to work on actually important bugs
Such as when?
Just search the github issues for gdpr. There’s loads of them.
It’s just derivatives of one issue about exporting and deleting data
