Whoa that's cool! It works in Thunder!

The Session open group server sog.caliban.org has been permanently shut down due to the declining state and neglect of the open group ecosystem by its creators.
The transition from the private cryptocurrency OXEN to the public ERC-20 token SENT is criticized for favoring the project's creators over loyal community members, leading to potential financial losses for many.
The author condemns the management of Session for their incompetence and dishonesty, predicting the project's inevitable failure due to a lack of trust and proper execution.

No worries! Thanks for mentioning it, I might check it out!

Syncthing Syncthing Syncthing works flawlessly /plugover :)

Do you know how this compares to Ditto?

System Informer is a nice, more modern take on Process Explorer. My favorite feature is the filter which supports RegEx and searches the process name, command args, path, etc. Really nice for monitoring a few important processes.

7-zip

If you're on Win 11, use NanaZip. It's a fork with better integration with Windows 11's crappy conext menu.

Caffeine

If you have PowerToys this is built in now.

AnyDesk has started enshitifying too but it's still better than TeamViewer.

What? This just isn't true? I RDP into work all time and it picks up my user session with all open apps from the last time I was physically at the machine. Then next time I'm at the machine, it picks up the session from last time I remoted in. In other words, as long as you always use the same account, it's always the same session.

Your activity also can't be viewed by a user on the remote system

You are right this, but this is actually a benefit in my opinion. The last thing I want is for someone to turn on my monitor and see everything I'm doing. I like that it's a private session of sorts.

Also RDP is better at adapting resolutions (I want my session to use my local monitors' resolution, not the remote one) and forwarding system key shortcuts than any other remote solution I've used.

A Roku stick requires the Roku streaming service to be functioning to be useful.

That's not true at all. You could use a Roku with only Plex/Jellyfin and it would be immensely useful.

Thunderbird with the conversations add-on. It's a game-changer that makes it much easier to transition from Gmail.

Thank you so much for sharing this!!

It can be encrypted...

Sorry about that! See this comment for a few ways around the paywall.

Apologies, I run the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension for Firefox so I don't even notice when sites have paywalls (and I recommend everyone else do the same). It's right up there with adblockers as being almost an essential component of browsing the web these days.

Here are a few more options for viewing the article without a paywall if you don't want to install an extension.

Looks like mostly C++.

Ente it you're looking for a paid service. (For me, photos are too important to self-host.) They're end-to-end encrypted and both server and clients are open source.

I see it more like the browser group wanted it to be a 'real' browser and not held down by having to be compliant with the hobby OS. But that's just my reading from the outside. :)

They mentioned being more open to OSS packages, which probably wouldn't work on Serenity.

Lol it's not a link in the markdown so it's just the Lemmy web UI making assumptions. Also it's funny that they don't own that domain.
