Software Endorsements

[Space Cat]

I'm looking for a good tool that makes sequence diagrams, that costs less than $100. All of the open source tools I've tried have been written by retards who have no understanding of UI design or think I want to run their tool in a fucking web browser, and it makes me wish it was legal to mail pipe bombs to their houses, because that's the only way to get them out of the software industry.

Any tool that does what I want cost more than $100.

How many have you tried?
I once needed a tool to make diagrams for a small project and draw.io had everything I needed, it has templates and a includes every diagram box you might need. It is free and doesn't require internet. It is based on electron but you should try it anyways if you haven't:

GitHub - jgraph/drawio-desktop: Official electron build of draw.io

Official electron build of draw.io. Contribute to jgraph/drawio-desktop development by creating an account on GitHub.

Web Archives is a Firefox extension that enables you to find archived and cached versions of web pages. Searches can be initiated from the context menu, the browser toolbar, or the address bar in case of a server error.

Web Archives is an open source project made possible thanks to a community of awesome supporters. If you'd like to support the continued development of the extension, please consider contributing with Patreon, PayPal or Bitcoin.

A diverse set of archive and cache sources are supported, which can be toggled and reordered from the extension's options. Visit the wiki for the full list of supported search engines.

https://github.com/dessant/web-archives/wiki/Search-engines

PRO TIP: search for a link without visiting the web page by right-clicking on the link and searching from the context menu.

A handful of search modes are offered that serve different use cases. The search mode can be set independently for the context menu and the browser toolbar from the extension's options.

Search modes:
• Tab: search for the web page opened in the active tab. This is the default search mode.
• URL: search for a custom page URL.

The URL you select during a search is sent to the requested third-party service, such as the Wayback Machine. Visit the extension's privacy policy for more information.

The extension is also available for Chrome and Safari.

Reviews are not monitored for bug reports, please use GitHub for issues and feature requests.

Anyone have recommendations for productivity software? I have Obsidian, and plan on using a day to familiarize myself alot more than bare functionality. Has anyone used the Mind Map functionality or are there better options elsewhere?

My work and career are somewhat oriented towards research and writing reports, whitepapers, case studies, etc. but I've been absolutely shit at keeping resources organized in a useful manner as well as formulating thoughts onto paper. Figure I'd ask since I'm a glutton for cool programs that I want to eventually use.

 

[Monuklear]

Not a specific program, but a website:
https://www.portablefreeware.com/
Like it says on the tin, it's a website full of portable (i.e. no need to install) freeware.
Everything from general-purpose software to lots of very useful tiny little productivity tools.

A lot of the best stuff on portablefreeware.com comes from nirsoft.net, which is a collection of various free desktop utilities developed by one guy.

My personal recommendations are:
JPEGView - A simple and highly-customizable image viewer. I went through many image viewers before finding this one.
Freeshooter - Probably the best screenshooter out there. Extremely lightweight and easy to use.
WizTree - A program that allows you to easy search through your harddrives and locate/delete large files and folders. Very intuitive and through some sort of black magic is also noticeably faster than most other utilities of its kind.
DSynchronize - A file synchronization/copying tool that's useful in a wide variety of situations. Great for backups and such.
Bulk Rename Utility - Like it says, it's for quickly renaming a large amount of files. Amazingly powerful if you take the time to learn how to use it.
FastCopy - A file copying tool. It's similar to DSynchronize, but is simpler and works better with copying/movie entire folders.
HandBrake - Best video converter out there. Great if you don't want to mess with FFmpeg.
Search My Files - An extremely powerful file-searching utility.

I need a good, simple TCMS for manual test cases. I have tools for my automated unit and regression testing. I can't get some of this WPF shit my coworkers wrote under automated unit testing, so I resort to spreadsheets with step by step test cases. It is time consuming me to add and remove cells, and beautify the spreadsheet.

This is all CYA for my own use so that when something drastic occurs, I'm not the one who gets fired for being a sloppy cunt.

Brave has something like this built in but it doesn't work on mobile and is not that usable yet on desktop. I don't know if it's based off this add-on, but I'm hopeful that it gets better in the future.

I use and endorse HTTPS Everywhere. Whenever you type www.example.com in your browser, HTTPS Everywhere will make sure that your browser tries https://www.example.com before http://www.example.com. This also applies when a website embeds a HTTP resource: the extension will try to upgrade it to HTTPS. HTTPS is good for both privacy (hides the exact request/response, even though domain would leak due to SNI) and security (your McDonald's WiFi can't man-in-the-middle a random HTTP JavaScript to be something malicious). I can't install HTTPS Everywhere on my grandma's computer though because on a very rare occasion I'll encounter a site that doesn't serve the same content over HTTPS as they do over HTTP (so you get subtle breakage). But this is very rare, maybe once a year or so.

Today I want to endorse a different feature of HTTPS Everywhere: its ability to rewrite URLs not just replacing "http" with "https" but also replacing .... drumroll please ... kiwifarms.net with kiwifarms.ru.

Why do this? Because many forum posts link to kiwifarms.net domain and why waste time manually correcting these every time we click on them.

This only applies to Firefox and Chrome. If you use Brave, it already bundles HTTPS Everywhere but does not expose the necessary settings. So you will need to use something else.

This is how you do it:

• Install HTTPS Everywhere browser extension: Chrome / Firefox.
• Go to kiwifarms.net and observe a "we cucked out so bad" error page.
• Click on HTTPS Everywhere icon, then "See more", then "Add a rule for this site", and finally "Show advanced".
• Enter matching RegEx of ^https://kiwifarms\.net/ and replacement of https://kiwifarms.ru/ (don't forget the trailing slash!). Should look like this:

• Click "Add a new rule for this site".
• Repeat for www.kiwifarms.net if you'd like (replacing ^https://www\.kiwifarms\.net/ with https://kiwifarms.ru/).

If you made a mistake, just right-click on HTTPS Everywhere icon, select "Options" and delete the rule.

The image won't get large enough to read:
"Great news

Dear "I don't care about cookies" users,

After exactly 10 years of maintaining this project and dealing with cookie/GDPR pop-ups on my own, I am proud and happy to say that Avast - a famous and trustworthy IT company known for the wide range of products that help secure our digital experience, has recognized its value!

Avast offered to acquire the project so that we can help each other in creating even better products and I decided to accept the offer: "I don't care about cookies" is now officially a member of Avast family

I will keep working on the project and the extension will remain free to use. Donations are not needed anymore to keep the project going, of course. A big, big ♥ THANK YOU ♥ to all the donors, translators and everyone else who helped keeping the project alive over the years!

Stay tuned for more excited news in the future!"

I haven't had time to read all 59 pages but with the new .st domain, I can verify that ProtonVPN appears to be having issues. Either it is blocking the site or can't resolve the .st domain. I even tried using Nigeria but no luck.

Given Proton's blacklisting the .net instance, I'm going to assume the worst. Avoid ProtonVPN if you want VPN specifically for browsing this site.

Proton blacklisted .net? Since when?

Probably shouldn't use them anyway since they handed over tons of email data to the Swiss authorities.

Proton only blacklisted .net if you had the netshield feature enabled, which it is by default. Turn off that nanny crap and .net worked fine.

Plenty of reasons not to use proton, but that's probably true for every vpn.

@Null You've mentioned a number of times that you recommend Google DNS (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4) over using the DNS of one's ISP.

What about Quad9? Is that a reasonable alternative for privacy autists like me who despise google with a passion?

Why or why not?

Not speaking for Dear Feeder but he only recommended that to get people connected to Kiwifarms. If Quad9 works for you to get on KF, you should use it, it's much better privacy than anything Google makes.
