• Logseq

I love the idea of having all my quick notes, to-do lists, knowledge base, journal, plans, etc., in one single, neatly organized place. Why wouldn’t I? But deciding on which Notion alternative to use is overwhelming.

There are so many options, and all claim to be the best. Online opinions are all over the place (as expected), and these apps aren’t exactly simple—they’re complex for good reasons, but that makes choosing one even harder. And don’t get me started on the endless YouTube videos on the topic—I could spend weeks or months researching this and testing every single one of them, but honestly, this is not how I wanna spend my time so I will ask you guys instead.

• Markor: Used it for quick thoughts, journalin

So yesterday I tested WiFi Direct against Quick Share and to my surprise (kinda) WiFi Direct was much faster than the latter

Tried sending a 1.21GB video file from a Galaxy S6 to a galaxy note 9

• WiFi Direct: 54.71 MB/s
• Quick Share: ~33 MB/s

OneUI can show network speed in real-time in the notification panel, that's how I captured these numbers and they were very stable and I did it multiple times just to confirm.

Unfortunately samsung and all other OEMs have basically killed WiFi Direct, I can only receive files, they removed the option to send files through WiFi Direct on newer versions of android (I think A11 and later) a long time ago that's why I can't do this test in reverse (from N9 to S6)

I tried looking up for an app on Google play store, galaxy store, F-Droid that can send files using WiFi Direct but found nothing, that's really puzzling for me, like why?! This standard is very old by now, it's been on our phones for more than a decade and yet no way to fully

I'm running OpenSUSE leap 15.5, When I was on the linux mint, I was using warpinator but using it on openSUSE is troublesome and I wish there was a linux version of blip but unfortunately there is not.

I have tried

• RiMusic
• ViMusic
• InnerTune
• SpMp
• ViTune
• Gyawun
• SimpMusic

And in the end I settled on RiMusic which I'm really tired of, so frustrating when an app keep crashing out of nowhere.

Have you tried any FOSS YTM app that you can say with confident that it is stable and it just works?

Why not just use the official YTM app you may ask? Well so I can easily save and transfer my music listening data

update

I gave spotube a try and well I was disappointed then I finally gave spotify a shot and it looks promising

Something as simple and as convenient to use as internet download manager

If you have ever used IDM before then you know what I mean, I'm yet to find an alternative that's on par with its ease of use and convenience

Here are my requirements:

• I don't have to copy-paste any links or right click on any links (just like IDM)
• it works on all sites, well except for mega.nz (just like IDM)
• it can scan the website and show me a download button on top of the media if it detects media like a YouTube video or an audio file playing, etc... (just like IDM)
• It works perfectly with Firefox (just like IDM)
• it doesn't have to keep running in the background, starting a direct download link should initiate it and show me a pop download dialog/window (just like IDM)

I have tried:

• Persepolis: it has failed me miserably, the download fails 99% of the time (like from GitHub) so I ended up disabling

I get this error message whenever I try to

{"message":"{\"msg\":\"No space left on device (os error 28)\",\"files\":null}"}

I tried different font settings in the font settings and it didn't improve much (font hinting, anti aliasing, custom DPI settings, different font size)

The font is the default one which is Ubuntu Regular with font size set to 10

Sub pixel order is set properly to RGB Linux Mint xfce

Even when running windows in a virtual machine, the font rendering in it is miles ahead of what I got on my Linux setup!!!

Did you try all of them?

What made you stick with the one you are currently using?

I became fully aware of Control D only yesterday as the name was vaguely familiar to me when I heard it and for Adguard DNS well I thought it was a normal-ish DNS service like 1 1 1 1, quad9, Google, etc... (not that user configurable).

I tried looking for some reviews and discussions comparing the 3 but found almost nothing about Control D and Adguard DNS but I did stumble upon Control D CEO 2 blog posts comparing Adguard DNS and NextDNS to Control D.

There seems to be not that much talk about these 2 unlike NextDNS which seems way more popular, if I'm correct then what made it way more popular and known?

I literally haven't seen anyone even mention it anywhere on the internet as if it never existed, when it comes to Ad blockers I always see uBO recommended with absolutely no mention whatsoever of ABP why? What makes it better than ABP? What happened to it? or maybe I'm wrong and ABP is not as well known as I think it is.

I have been using ABP for many years until someday don't remember when I switched to uBO because I read that it is "the best ad blocker".

I maybe need a history lesson as everything on the matter seems so vague to me and the whole situation is super weird
