What is a piece of software you didn’t know about, but is now integral to your workflow/convenience?

For me, I discovered Ente recently for my photos and its made my life so much easier.

DD-WRT (Open-Source Linux Router Firmware)
Ente.io or Apple Photos (Enable Advanced Data Protection) (Only Open-Source End-to-End Encrypted Photos App)

For any macOS folks, Swish has become integral to my workflow. I reluctantly bought a Magic Mouse just to be able to use it when I have my MacBook docked 🫨

Fellow Filen user. I do like it, have been using it for a couple of years now, but I’ve never seen a product with such slow development. It makes me question its longevity.

This really isn’t the community for this attitude. We’re looking for productive discussions here, and your comment is just as productive without needing to insult other members. Rule 1

Which doesn’t add anything else to the whole topic started by OP. Just derails everything into spats and people getting defensive, like he did and then you.

AAAAAAnyway. Don’t want to contribute to that any further so here is my little +1:

Found about Sosumi(on Linux), which helps a ton with MacOS VMs, usually a pain to deal with. Just a couple snap commands.

oh thats cool, why would you want to use a macOS VM though, if I may ask?

I need to use some UX tools from time to time, and Linux has almost none

Cloudron. It has made self-hosting applications so much easier. Deploying a new app onto my server is as simple as one click.

Second to that would be Proxmox which allows me to run multiple virtual machines in one computer.
