I switched from Mint.com to the FOSS Money Manager EX for desktop a while ago and couldn’t be happier.
Stremio. A free Netflix-like UX for streaming bittorrents.
movie-web is another cool web app for streaming movies/tv shows
That link is a 404
Fuck my browser, it keeps suggesting me that one broken link from my history. The correct link is https://movie-web.github.io/docs
Thanks for pointing this out though
Just realized that a little quick start guide would be pretty useful, as the documentation isn’t very straight-forward:
You don’t need to self-host it, you can, but you don’t have to. Just go to any one of the public instances and either install the browser addon, or use this guide to deploy a proxy for free. This is useful if you can’t install browser addons, e.g. in the PWA or on a mobile browser that doesn’t support extensions. That’s it actually, you can now search for any movie/TV show you like and stream or download it completely for free.
I spent a few minutes googling what the source for the movies is, with no luck. Any insight?
Showbox, VidSrcTo, Goojara, ZoeChip, HDRezka, VidSrc, Nepu, GOmovies, RidoMovies, FlixHQ, SmashyStream, Remote Stream
Thank you!
So not torrents?
No
Oh this is great! I love Stremio, but the idea of having something like it that runs on a web server where anyone in my house can just use a normal web browser without any additional software is a great improvement.
Does movie-web use torrents too?
Nebula, the overlay network thing. It connects all of my servers together, and me to my servers.

I used to use [a Windows 3.1 shrink-wrapped software package] that offered notepads and appointment calendars. Then I switched to Linux. That was 16 years ago. To take the place of the Windows application, I had to write my own list-maker from scratch. Today, there’s a new python3-pyqt5 version (under GNU General Public License) of my script for Linux and Windows desktops to help maintain the equivalent of index-card files. Obviously this is not something you’d use just to be like everybody else. I use it because I don’t really know how others handle their everyday lists and I can’t think of an easier way. If you, too, suspect it ought to be easier than it is, it may be. Please look at Tonto2. Thanks.
I use DokuWiki for my personal wiki. Very easy to use.
I just moved to Notion but Dokuwiki was my go-to for well over a decade.
I’ve switched to BookStack. It’s a different take on a wiki, but pretty good concept.
It’s niche as hell, but Syncplay lets you sync up the playback of video files through VLC or MPV player as long as everyone has the same video file stored locally. Better quality then steaming and works on low bandwidth connections.

- Droid-Ify much better interface to F-Droid
- Grayjay newpipe but with much better ui, worth nothing is developed by louis rousmann
- NixOS not necessarily improve my daily life but i’ve been having a really good time trying it recently
Grayjay isn’t open source
It is open source. But the license is not foss at the moment. They expresed their desire to make something that send revenue to creators
@isthereanydeal therefore it’s not open source. See for something to be called “open source” it needs a bit more than just for the code to be readable. The only people who define open source as source readable are the people who don’t want to create open source software.
Open source is when the source code is available.
Free software is when the source is available and the license lets you exercise your 4 freedoms.
@n0x0n You are wrong though: https://opensource.org/osd
> Introduction
> Open source doesn’t just mean access to the source code.Literally the first sentence.
The definition you are using is being spread by the likes of Meta and Amazon.
Taking only a part of my post does not make sense in this context.
@n0x0n Providing an authoritative source which directly contradicts your statement, that does not make any sense to you? I’m sorry then.
There’s a clear difference between open source and free open source software. It is open source but the licence is not “free”. Not entirely at least
@isthereanydeal Nope. That distinction only appeared when big companies kinda became afraid of open source software, so they wanted to redefine the term, create some confusion, corrupt it…
You may have a point but there’s a difference anyway
Did you unselect your upvote?
@heyoni I’m commenting from mastodon, I don’t even see any upvotes. Someone just started downvoting me because they ran out of arguments 🤷♂️
Actually you’re kinda right, their own license doesn’t allow commercial redistribution (kinda similar with CC:NC) which make them not open source. I personally have no problems with that though.
I think it is: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay
I’m looking for an alterntive to this for windows. If anyone knows people lemme know.
Firefox’s inbuilt reader would cut some of the crap
It’s not just a reader for web browsers; you select any text and press the hotkeys, and it takes you to a different window where you can read without any distractions.
Here is a preview of it (First app): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPPTZ2nX1C0&t=20s
My favourite program is CherryTree notes. It’s a hierarchical notes app which supports hyperlinking between nodes and to external files, URLs etc. I pretty much use it to organise my whole life! You can have it encrypted and make your own theme as well.
uget download manager, aves mobile image viewer
Hammerspoon. Pretty necessary Mac software to make it work the way you want.
- LibreWolf, a privacy-optimized fork of Firefox
- Mull, hardened Firefox for Android.
- EteSync with self-hosted Etebase, a end-to-end encrypted solution for syncing calendars and contacts.
- Molly, a hardened Signal fork for Android.
- Accrescent, a secure, alternative app store for Android. Still in an early stage of development though.
- UnifiedPush, a privacy-friendly notification system.
- LibRedirect, a browser extension that automatically redirects you to private frontends for privacy invasive websites.
- Seal, an amazing Android app for downloading videos. YTDLnis is an alternative.
- Cobalt downloader, a website that let’s you download basically everything imaginable from the internet. All kinds of posts, photos and videos from various social media platforms and many other websites.
- Linkwarden, a bookmark manager that can be self-hosted. Also check out Omnivore and wallabag.
- ArchiveBox, a self-hosted app for archiving websites.
- Tube Archivist, a self-hosted app for archiving YouTube videos/playlists/channels.
(I love downloading and archiving stuff lol)
How trustworthy is movie-web in terms of anonymity?
Depends on you, if you don’t trust their, you can deploy your own. movie-web is basically just a search engine (with a pretty good and user friendly UI/UX in my opinion) that pulls content from other sources.
Compared to torrent, i would say it’s more “anonym” since you connect to a server instead of other pc.
As with all these things: do it behind an always-on VPN on a dedicated device.
Not needed, it never connects to the content sources directly, it always uses a proxy. You can even deploy your own proxy for free on Cloudflare or Netlify.
This is fantastic! Just started switching over to Librewolf and Mull. I discovered xBrowserSync in the process, which is a great way to sync browser bookmarks. https://www.xbrowsersync.org/
If you only use Firefox-based browsers, you don’t actually need the extension. You can simply enable Firefox Sync in the LibreWolf settings and it’s end-to-end encrypted by default.
Is EteSync free? It seems to be offering trials and paid plans.
That’s for their cloud hosting. But the self-hosted variant is completely free.
great finds, is this list curated anywhere?
It’s right there lol
No that was just off the top of my head
