Any recommendations for a mobile tor browser besides the 'official' one? Brave has that option built in on desktop but it's absent here. I ask mostly because of one big issue with the traditionally firefox based tor in that it's layout on mobile and little buggy interactions with shit that works fine on mobile chrome just add up to a slightly less than bearable experience.

The only other apps Tor recommends itself is Orbot (which allows other apps to serve over the tor network) or Onion Browser for iOS.

EDIT: So I guess in theory you could use a different browser through Orbot, but I haven't tried.

Online Office Applications for business

ONLYOFFICE offers a secure online office suite highly compatible with MS Office formats. Connect it to your web platform for document editing and collaboration or use as a part of ONLYOFFICE Workspace.

I just found out about OnlyOffice, a free open source office suite. it';s main thing is that instead of beign a fork of OpenOffice and internal ODF use, OnlyOffice is designed from the ground up to work with Microsoft Office OOXML file formats, so instead of converting .docx to .odf when you open it and converting back to .docx when you save it, it natively accesses the file in .docx file format. I might get my parents to switch from LibrOffice if they have any issues.
it seems to support online collaboration, but i'm not sure if that means it can do it when some collaborators are running microsoft office.

Where's the website endorsements thread? Was it deleted? It had links to interesting sites and blogs, and a site that contains roms of console games. Can someone link the thread?

Yes, the thread was called the link index, thanks for linking it. I was searching around for it thinking it was called website endorsements or website recommendations.
Vimm looks cool as fuck, thanks for linking it!

cdromance.com is also good, they keep up with the newest rom translations and interesting hacks if you're into those.

I have discovered two open-source applications that are proving really useful to me:

Archive Box - basically your own archive.is/archive.ph website -- https://archivebox.io/

Paperless - document storage -- https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/

Archive Box looks great but I find that Paperless really triggers my autismo something fierce.

Paper is a nightmare. Environmental issues aside, there's no excuse for it in the 21st century. It takes up space, collects dust, doesn't support any form of a search feature, indexing is tedious, it's heavy and prone to damage & loss.

I just feel my skin crawl at this. It's fundamentally wrong. I understand the software and what it offers and the advantages of it but the thing is push comes to shove paper is still a superior medium for long term storage.

Don't believe me? Go on, try and store a computer file for 30 years and open it. And I mean actually store it, not just "host" it on the "cloud" (a.k.a. someone else's computer). You can't. Diskettes can rot in a few months if badly stored and demagnetize after a while. Similar deal with CDs. SSDs have a limited number of writes for every sector before they kaput. HDDs start doing the click of death. And what about all the forgotten "storage" of the old like Zip drives and Cassettes and such? Good luck finding a way to even get them to connect.

Okay, try to access your stuff without electricity or Internet connectivity, I'll wait.
Sure, keeping stuff on a computer is handy and all, but guess how we stored things during ancient times: we wrote it down on a physical medium, and that's the sole reason why we know these ancient people existed, who they were and what they did.
I prefer keeping my shit on paper, cause the people I deal with demand a paper copy anyway.
Archive box will be handy in the future. Wish I had known about it sooner, I tried archiving an old forum some time ago before it shut down but I did not manage to.

I don't know if this has been suggested but Stardict (I use the QT version Qstardict). You can load it up with dictionaries, thesaurus's, CIA Factbooks, Urban Dictionary files etc.... and use it to show information or define words you select. I have it set so that when I highlight a word and press ctrl+alt+w it shows a popup with the definitions from a few dictionaries. Pretty handy app for an uneducated chud like me.

Here's a bunch of free reference books compatible with it

Oh yeah, I use the command line version of it (sdcv) because I'm in the terminal a lot and it saves time to be able to just use it there.
