  • For AIs, I can't get enough of Perplexity, I can be confident in its answer since I can quickly check its source, and it doesn't limit "sensitive" topics like elections or adult activities. Chatgpt is great for creative prompts but tends to hallucinate a lot for factual questions and rarely if ever, include sources, something which other chatbot services also sorely lack. I like Gemini's free API, which I can integrate into my scripts, but there are a lot of limitations imposed in the API, and the official app annoyingly can't be installed on Android Go devices.

    With the death of Spotify mods on Android, I finally tried YT Music mods, RiMusic is really snappy with a built-in downloader (it's not usable outside the player, so I share it with Tubular if I want the raw M4A for ringtones), though once enough people flee from Spotify mods to YT Music mods, they might get disabled too.

    My new workplace uses Pumble, which is obviously less feature-rich than Slack, but it's good enough for our use case.

    With the death of Tachiyomi, I finally moved to Mihon to read manga on Android, it does its job and doesn't attempt to be a bloated mess.

    ElevenLabs' Reader is a decent mobile text-to-speech app that can handle an entire e-book, though unfortunately, the text highlight gets laggy on long text. It also has a decent auto-summary feature (labeled as "podcasts on demand") but when given a novel with multiple plots, it just focuses on a single plot while ignoring the rest.

    I tried these out recently as well. What are you using for configuration? A GUI like Hiddify or are you using the CLI only?

    Configured Xray using the CLI to be used over CDN , will be checking out GUI as well later on

    Bitwarden, I pay $10/yr for it though for the TOTP codes. I feel the downside is that it's synced all the time through their servers.

    I would like to self host, but does the self host version have sync options through my services, instead of bitwardens.

    If you selfhost bitwarden, which is called vaultwarden, it's synced through your server.

  • Biggest finding is AI
    Know about it in 2022-23 but didn't used much, this year I can confidently say I used it well.
    next year I gonna use much more.

    Another good find is Jellyfin, I earlier I used to wonder why people needs tbs of data in let, but now I know I understand....

    So most softwares I found related to ai only cursor, windsurf, msty, lm studio etc.

    YMusic for android

    Interesting, a shame that it's a closed source and seems to be a one-man project. RiMusic, Tubular, and Mihon each are forked from other projects, I like it better if there's a bigger chance that if the dev gave up or refuse to implement something then someone else can take up the mantle, like how Tubular is forked from NewPipe because NewPipe doesn't want to include SponsorBlock, while RiMusic is from the now-dead ViMusic and Mihon is from Tachiyomi. For YMusic to be still going on for 7 years is quite impressive though.

    Same, when ChatGPT was released I dismissed it because it tends to hallucinate a lot and often isn't available. Now they and their competitors are pretty much always available and mobile apps make them much more convenient to use. I used to think of them as "you only need it if your google-fu sucks", but Perplexity consistently beat my google-fu, Claude immediately point out why my code doesn't work which my half-a-day googling and StackOverflow can't help, and ChatGPT, for all its fault, is very relaxing to use than having to waddle all the spam and fluff in search results.

    Are you subscribed to all of them? Claude, perplexity, chatgpt. Or free version is good enough?

    but by one of reputed devs from xda so i am confidently using it for 2-3years.

    biggest advantage is offline downloading.

    @glitch said: Can you please tell which ones you use? And for what type of tasks?

    I use sonnet for development tasks with cursor and windsurf
    and for everything else, i use mostly chatgpt.....i almost stopped using google, usually i love to type more to get better/precise info which is not possible with google, the more you type...it gives more bs results,
    with chatgpt...it gives more precise answers, i almost use it as a buddy.


    have a lot more to type but no energy now :(

    have you tried joplin? it allows sync via a few different services, so no need to pay for premium.
    Does SiYuan allow that? I might give it a try if it does.

    all free plan?

  • I didn't discover it but was forced to use, and I like it. Netbrain. The best tool for network automating and debugging.

  • mountain duck is very nice.

  • Not exactly software, but, OpenWrt.

  • I use Telegram saved messages a lot, and I’ve been looking for a self-hosted or software-based chat-like note-taking app. This year, I found Memos, and it’s awesome!

  • This year I find almost 100 apps, tools and services that I find interesting (bookmarked). But in 2024, the one I love and will never live without is:

    • Ente Auth
    • Trisorit
    • Namecrane
    • Purelymail

    Not a discovery but rather a re-discovery. rdiff-backup.

    I did ponder and try some of them trendy new kind of backup software, incl. borg, which seems to be the cool kids' favourite.
    Didn't really like any of them, found no real (as in 'real life') advantage, so "re-discovered" and tried again "stone-age" rdiff-back, which just does the job and does it well and reliably.

    That's not to say that all the new-fangled tools like borg are bad but for me and my needs (backup a well defined set of files and dirs periodically and be able to "jump" back to a given prior version), preferably with a battle-proven tool I found nothing that beats rdiff-backup.

    But alas, as far as I know there exists neither an artificial intelligence simulation interface, nor a smartphone app GUI for it, so chances are that only people over 40 will be able to use it.

    Free does good for me. I don't need their paid plan for using their cloud service. I tried joplin, obsidian, trillium, but this feels good to me in terms of UI, ease of use.

    no, they are free for first 14days only but one should assume they are giving us steep discounts.

    if we use API, we will burn much more.

  • plexamp. It really simplified sharing musica with friends and family.
