Title says it all. I'll go first:

I don't really have any on my computer (all I use that for is Vim, Firefox, and Git), but on my phone: Orbot (basically Tor as a VPN on your phone).

GNU Jami (pronounced Guh-nu Ya-mi) is a peer-to-peer cross-platform messaging and VOIP application. It uses an API called the Jami Distributed Network, meaning that the Jami network has no single point of failure. If you're familiar with TOR you'll understand where this is coming from.

Best part is that Jami is a GNU package; it will always be free/libre software or else Richard M. Stallman perself will break the kneecaps of every developer on the project /half-joke.

Resilio Sync instead of something like Dropbox or Google Drive.

Fastmail is pretty solid too.

Resilio Sync

How does it compare to something like Syncthing?

[โ€“] thelastknowngod@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Never used syncthing so I'm not sure. Resilio is running a modified bittorrent protocol. It's always been fast and easy for me so I've never had the motivation to look into anything else.

I use a lot of paid survey apps I've made a nice bit of money on (as tedious as it is). Qmee, Attapoll, Survey Spin and Leger opinion.

Working an hour at McDonald's will make more then like a days worth of doing those lol. Do something more productive like grind levels in an MMO.

[โ€“] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I have two jobs. This is something I can do to make mad money for myself and I've made 3500 dollars this far. I don't know what na an MMO is.

You could probably do these surveys while working some jobs that pay more than McDonald's.

What's the difference between Orbit and Tor Browser? I always wondered why people download Orbot instead of Tor Browser?

[โ€“] hai@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Orbit acts as a VPN and effects the entire system, so all of your apps get routed through ToR.

All the ones I used have been said except cryptomator. Its an encryption software that can be used in cloud storage or locally

[โ€“] drifty@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It costs so much to use on a phone! It is free for all PC OSs though

I use Tachiyomi (J2K fork) for reading manga and manhwa, and Shosetsu for fanfiction (AO3 extension). MoeList for MAL (My Anime List), Myne for public domain books, and Librera for EBUPs (I like using TTS). Also NewPipe (SponsorBlock fork) is my only YouTube client.
