This is pretty open ended, and I’m not sure “digital tool” is really what I should call it honestly. But basically, I’m putting together a big list of programs, applications, websites and the like that I find useful or helpful in some way, that I think could be beneficial to others.
So far my list consists of things like localsend, alternativeto.net, Microsoft powertoys, does the dog die, etc. Pretty varied list, some very niche some very general purpose, but just those kind of things if that makes sense?
I’m looking for some more to add, so what do you have to contribute?
Here are ten (FOSS) tools that I use on a regular basis.
What does syncthing do? It came preinstalled on bazzite and I’ve never had a reason to launch it.
Syncs files between your devices. I use it to automatically upload my photos from my phone to my computer. It does it automatically any time both are in the same wifi. Great alternative to cloud solutions.

Oh holy shit! That would be amazing for my home media server!
People have described what it does, but here are some uses for it.
Make it automatically:
It syncs stuff between devices. It’s de-centralized, P2P, extremely fast, highly customizable, and works with a large number of devices.
What does
Mavis timeNavidrome offer beyond Jellyfin? Music on Jellyfin with Symfonium on the phone works out so well.Edit: lol, fucking autocorrect
Assuming you mean Navidrome, it offers more control over transcoding, has broader support, and has smart playlists. Also, I just like that it’s a separate service. I don’t like keeping all my eggs in the same basket.
When it comes to Symfonium, I just find the dev to be extremely annoying. I bought a license for it, and used to use it with Navidrome. But when I encountered some issues, the dev was unhelpful, and downright abusive. So, I decided to find something that’s FOSS, and Tempus fits the bill.
