I use MullvadVPN, GrapheneOS and Linux but I also search for any more apps not like OSes. What'a your favorites?
Invizible pro, Cromite, Apktool M/MT Manager (for manually reverse engineering apps), App Manager (for finding spywares in apps), Warden (for disabling them)
Pi-Hole for home Wifi, Guest Wifi for IoT devices. For Desktop PC I use Linux, hardened Firefox, uBlock Origin extension. For the Phone I use NextDNS, work Profile for IoT apps, and F-Droid for some apps.
Lots.
However I want to give FreeTube some love. Out of all the YT frontends, FreeTube has never failed me and always been a treat to use. I've used it on both Linux and Windows, and the experience is always reliable.
By far my all-time favorite app - Freetube. Used to be KDE Connect for transferring files between devices, and still is an useful app. But man Freetube is amazing
Oh I thought this was android like fdroid or something. Damn. I'll still check it out in desktop.
Matrix messaging apps. It's nice to have modern messaging features, end-to-end encrypted, with no single point of failure, no Google involvement, and no phone numbers. I expect to start recommending it widely when the 2.0 features land in the popular clients.
WireGuard VPN. It's fast, even on low-power devices.
Self-hosted Mumble. Excellent low-latency voice quality for chatting or gaming with friends.
Radicale, DAVx⁵, and Thunderbird, for calendar and contact sync between mobile and desktop, without handing the data over to Google or anyone else.
XMPP + OMEMO & Mumble for chat, offline maps from OSM, self-hosted feed aggregator
NixOS, OpenWRT, LineageOS for microG, but would like to remove Android from my line up.
Linux, Capyloon, KaiOS… kinda don’t care so long as it isn’t controlled by some US megacorporation
I made my own list of software, and most of those listed are software I use daily.
What is i2p good for? I install it evert now and then, give it a whirl, and then uninstall it
Like hidden services, I like the ideas of uncensorable content and real free speech or similar
Yeah but how do you use it? There's no searchable index as far as I've seen
Tubular (NewPipe + Sponsorblock), Fedora, Mastodon through Tusky, Lemmy through Eternity. Still waiting for LineageOS image for my phone (SM-A536B) tho.
Instead of naming my all time favorites I'll name my most recent favorites...
Inter Profile Sharing - FOSS app to share files and text between android profiles. Super useful as a GOS user.
WG-tunnel - A way more feature rich version of the Wireguard app.
I needed inter profile sharing so so so many times. No more texting myself photos! Damn I can't believe I didn't think of this.
Author says it should work even in airplane mode which is pretty cool.
Freetube instead of youtube,
Thunderbird calendar instead of something like google calendar,
Signal instead of Discord or text,
Tellico for all media lists instead of something like goodreads or online movie or game lists,
Obsidian or Joplin for notes and organizing creative pursuits
Which free tube app there is several? I was using libretube or something but it bugs out a lot.
https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube
Not available through the Google Store. The APK is on their Github page - https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube
Mulch is a mobile chromium browser made by DivestOS (same folks who make Mull). Maybe worth checking out over Cromite.
CommonSense 2024, the best antivirus solution I’ve ever tried. Highly recommend it. Compatible with phones, tablets, computers, potatoes etc.
