I want to add one more program to this list. A program that I rediscovered today. I have used it a long time ago and it was still installed. The tool is called dysk. Very nice tool to check filesystem usage resp. consumption
Roc Toolkit - Low latency, high quality audio streaming in your local network.
Letās say you have a desktop with all your audio-equipment connected and you want to listen to something from your laptop. Instead of fumbling around with physical connectors or pairing you just select the other device like any other audio output and it plays all audio through that connected device.
Itās amazing tech, but alas like many aspects linux it requires some dirty work setting it up in conf files (pipewire and pulseaudio modules are available).

With the whole Web Environment Integrity controversy happening on the Chromium side, thereās been a push by Firefox fans on Lemmy (and probably Reddit too) to promote the Firefox browser. However, Mozilla has been criticised for its management issues lately, and with the acquisition of Fakespot that doesnāt seem to be stopping.
Thankfully, with Firefox being open source thereās some forks from the community that pick up the slack. Everyone knows about Waterfox and Librewolf, but there are some other forks that are worth pointing out. Iāve been using Pulse, which aims to have a minimalistic UI for focus. I have vertical tabs enabled and the sidebar on the right side and it creates a minimalistic UI that doesnāt sacrifice usability, especially with Simple Tab Groups to replace Vivaldiās Tab Workspaces. For those who want something even more like Vivaldi, Floorp is run by a Japanese community thatās trying to fill that gap.
Pulse has an AUR binary package but Floorpās PKGBUILD might change due to it not being labelled as a binary package even though it is, so Iād download the tar archive from their GitHub for now.

Also, it would be funny if people started using WEI to block Chrome.
New kid on the block for a GTK version of KDE Connect called Valent. Versions to run stand alone or as a Gnome extension. Currently using it on both Gnome and Hyprland sessions and, while still alpha, seems to be working quite well; at least as well as GSConnect so far.

Has anyone tried Floorp browser yet?

Yes, had a play - some interesting aspects.
Half of itās features are badly hashed userChrome hacks (like the autohide addressbar, which will render your website menus forever inaccessible - as they slide down as you mouse over them, then slide up when you mouse back down to them as the URL bar slides in and out of view).
It caters for folks who prefer horizontal tabs 'n stuff with some variable layouts, but it falls far short of itās claim to fame of being the āvivaldi of firefoxāā¦ itās a bit of a cheap shot IMO.
Interestingly, thereās also epiphany-bin which you might find slightly familiar (but the rest of us wonāt recognise it any more, as they now use Blink).
Itās basically a pimped up old (ESR) Firefoxā¦
Also, it is a FORK of a FORK of Firefox - oh, and the Home page is pig ugly.
I played with it and tweaked it for a day, until it ended up lookingi almost exactly the way Firefox did, so I just dumped it and stuck with Firefoxā¦

Probably never will after reading this line on their github
You may advertise if you continuously sponsor a minimum of $100 per month.
(Not 100% sure what it means but feels off)

Probably that people can put advertisements on their browser front page.
Contributors who generously donate $100 or more each month for a period of two or more consecutive months are granted the privilege to advertise on Floorp.
For organizations and businesses, Floorp will automatically feature your advertisement in a new tab. However, this service is not extended to individual contributors.
Individual contributors, or those who wish to explore alternative advertising options, are kindly requested to reach out to Ablaze Support for further assistance.
