Computer & Internet Related Must Have Software

[cjöcker]

Post must have software in this thread.

I'll get started.

Transmission, the only BitTorrent client anyone should ever consider using. It's no nonsense and straight to the point.
VLC, easily the best video player out there.
Firefox + uBlock Origin is a match made in heaven.
JetBrains IDEs for coding, I'm in love with IntelliJ, CLion, PyCharm and PHPStorm. They're easily the best IDEs out there.
Thunderbird for email client on desktop and K9 Mail for Android. While we're on the topic of email, cock.li is a great email provider and Vincent Canfield is based.
Telegram for private messaging, it's run by based Russian oligarchs.
Mullvad is probably the best VPN out there right now, until it gets bought by some shady fucks in the near future like every VPN host does.

Firefox and ublock origin are absolutely amazing together, but I've been using another extension on top of it.

SponsorBlock - Skip Sponsorships on YouTube – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Download SponsorBlock - Skip Sponsorships on YouTube for Firefox. Easily skip YouTube video sponsors. When you visit a YouTube video, the extension will check the database for reported sponsors and automatically skip known sponsors. You can also report sponsors in videos. Other browsers...

addons.mozilla.org

And well, holy shit, sponsorblock might legitimately be the best extension for youtube. No more fucking raid shadow legends, it just automatically skips almost all sponsors.

It's not really necessary, but I quite like f.lux. It's supposed to sort of mimic the rising/setting of the sun with your screen, basically, and I find it easy on my eyes late at night.

f.lux

Software to warm up your computer display at night, to match your indoor lighting.

Why yes I do use Hannah Montana Linux how could you tell?

KDE Plasma is a really nice desktop environment. Pretty much everything can be tweaked to suit your tastes.

• Signal for encrypted communications.
• Element if you want something like Discord, but secure.
• StandardNotes if you want something like Evernote, but secure.
  • Joplin is also great, but you need to set up your own server or have it sync to services that are less than ideal (i.e. Dropbox or Google Drive).
• ProtonVPN and IVPN are also great VPNs.

I assume you need that amount of secruity with all the gay porn you are consuming.

It's a very lightweight program as well.

 

[Need For Sneed]

Audacity for audio editing
BitBleach (non-pozzed CCleaner equivalent)
ESET Internet Security (anti-virus/anti-malware ... it's paid, but you get what you pay for)
NotePad++ (NotePad replacement, obvs)
O&O ShutUp 10 (uncucks Windows 10 as much as possible)
WinAmp (still whips the llama's ass)
