If you're not familiar with Tailscale it's a very user-friendly "overlay network" that lets you securely connect all your devices no matter where they are over the internet.

No need to forward ports on your router to access your home network anymore. And no need to set up VPNs manually either. Just install Tailscale on all your devices and log in with Gmail or other providers.

Tailscale has official apps for Windows, Mac Android and iOS.

Thanks to a project called Trayscale we now have a GUI app for managing Tailscale on GNU/Linux as well.

You can easily install it using a flatpak.

A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans. It was such an amazing feature. Something that users of proprietary systems hadn't even heard about. We had this on desktops before things like Apple's App Store and Play Store were a thing.

We can no longer do that thanks to Flatpaks and Snaps as well as AppImages.

Recently i upgraded my Fedora system. I few days later i found out i was runnig some older apps since they were Flatpaks (i had completely forgotten how I installed bitwarden for instance.)

Do you miss the old system too?

Is it possible to bring back that experience? A unified, reliable CLI solution to make sure EVERYTHING is up to date?

From the project's github page: Czkawka is a simple, fast and free app to remove unnecessary files from your computer.

This is an excellent, fast tool for finding duplicates, large files, etc.

I was running out on my home directory and freeing up lots of space with this tool turned out to be super easy.

Nerd Dictation is a universal voice-typing solution that works anywhere you can input text, regardless of the desktop environment or window manager you're using.

Here is a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7sR-4DFhpQ

Python package

The good news is that there's also a gui that consists of a tray icon and dialog for installing voice models.

There are also start and end scripts that activate and deactivate voice input and can be easily bound to your desired keyboard shortcuts.

This is a secure dns and adblocker that has evolved into a great privacy app. Yesterday i noticed it has added support for Wireguard and TOR as well as proxy. The app comes with a customizable firewall. It means you can have secure dns combined with vpn/proxy and firewall in one app.

P.S: I'm not the developer.

I know I can use Google's voice typing in Google Docs but is there a more convenient, system-wide options available?

I'm looking for a plain text editor (not a "notes" app like Notion or Simplenote) that automatically syncs to Google Drive or Dropbox and saves the notes as .txt files. Any suggestions?

For me it's Motorola G72. It's excellent for the price. The phone is super lightweight despite having a 5,000 milliamper battery. The UI is very snappy and animations are very smooth (high refresh rate). It supports double tap on the back plus all other neat Motorola gestures. The under display fingerprint scanner works extremely well.

I've recently bought a Motorola Edge 20 pro and sometimes it fails to sleep and the screen remains on although the screen timeout has been set to 30 seconds. How can I diagnose this? Is this a common problem with Android or some app is responsible for it?

I've tried a lot of panels/sidebars/taskbars for Android but this one really stands out. It works so well you might think it's a native android feature (i wish it was added to Android by default).

Apps, contacts and even widgets can be added.

Currently what's the best way to create your "spin" or remix of a Linux distribution? It doesn't matter which distribution it uses as a base. I just want to be able to 1.add and remove packages 2.be able to change deault settings easily.
