Tutanota doesn't require a recovery mail so maybe try that... or there's another option.

Sorry for the late reply. I made an account with Tutanota, switched my email here, but forgot a very important detail. Tutanota keeps your account in ice for 2 days. I accidentally locked myself out of KF.

What was the freedom like?
 
Wouldn't recommend Tuta as an email alternative, had too many troubles dealing with them. When they say privacy first, they really do mean it: to the extreme. No email forwarding, no email subaddressing (for example kiwiskull+fag@gmail.com), none of that. You have to set up multiple email addresses, the most egregious example being kiwiskull-kf@gmail.com. You get the idea.

Quite awful experience, not one I want to repeat. Proton on the other hand does support subaddressing, but I'm hesitent to make an email addy via Proton for some reason.

OK, TECHNICALLY not software as such, but it is a recommendation.

If you've used the FEC donation registrar recently to get someone's employer and address, you have almost certainly run into this bullshit error when clicking through to the individual details, especially on ActBlue records.
1752043785834.webp

"Error#1896: Image is not processed yet, please try again later
Images from this report have not yet completed processing."

Now you should- with a lot of effort- be able to go through and download tens of different CSV files and use a command line search on the tens of GBs of files to get the details from there, but, there is a much easier way!

A site called https://checkmydonation.org/ lets you get most of the details like address you can (under ideal circumstances) from the FEC site- with the sole exception of employer- and it searches quicker. Very cool!

Does anyone know of any good simple lightweight video editors out there, I know there's plenty of free ones but i'd only really being using it to make simple edits not editing a fucking movie or someshit.

Can anyone endorse me a good way to mass-convert webp images to jpg or png on Android so I can send memes to my friends again

Not what you're looking for and more appropriate for https://kiwifarmsaaf4t2h7gc3dfc5ojh...stions-nsq-internet-technology-edition.62906/ but I use find + imagemagick to do this but to do that easily would require moving them to a Linux computer, using WSL or maybe Mac.

Example usage:
Bash: 
find . -type f -iname '*.webp' -exec bash -c 'magick "$0" "${0%.*}.jpg"' {} \;
There's probably a better way but that's always worked for me. Change the . to whatever directory they're in, but I always do these things in a temporary directory just for the conversions to keep it simple.

Just found out about an app called LocalSend. It lets you share files with nearby devices without an internet connection. It's available on Windows, Android, Linux, MacOS, iOS, and Fire OS.

I desperately needed something like this. Thank you.

Syncthing can do this as well and has a setting to only share on local networks. https://syncthing.net/

Speaking of, @dick brain you could use syncthing to sync your image files on your phone with some directory on another computer and avoid having to manually shift files around for the conversions.

Any recommendations for e-book readers on PC ? I think I tried calibre years ago.
Click to expand...
do you mean a simple pdf/epub reading application or a full-fledged book library thing? as for a replacement for calibre, i'm not aware of any comparable software. if you're talking about a simple pdf/epub reader, there is sumatrapdf for windows and atril for linux. the only downside to atril is that it requires some dependencies from the mate desktop to build, without which it won't build, no matter what desktop enviornment you're actually using, but that's more of poweruser concern that most people probably don't need to care about.

ytdlp.online is a website version of the downloader we all know and love.

Gets the job done, all you gotta do is just bookmark it and have the commands you use most jotted down.

A better option, mainly for linux users, is to just set bash aliases with the commands you want. then you can have it downloaded and no need for a third party site.

Partly unrelated, but something I've found very useful on Linux is to add a directory to your $PATH specifically for scripts you write and create a script to partly automate creating new scripts. I have $HOME/.local/bin/scripts, and a little script that checks to see if there's already a script with that name, then opens a text editor, and adds the correct permissions to the new script file. I would also recommend making a couple scripts to automate editing and deleting the scripts you create this way.
