The GCC.

Without that compiler endless nice software wouldn’t exist.

That’s not really an Android app though, especially considering how through Google was to de-GNU Linux for Android.

In deed, you are right.

I was too enthusiastic and missed the main requirement.

I’d say you are still right about the importance of GCC.

is Tachiyomi open source? if it is, then that. It’s always one of the first things I install on my device.

There’s just no better manga/comic reader app on Android (even on PC tbh).

The only thing better than Tachiyomi is one of its forks like TachiyomiSY which I’m currently using.

It’s one of the big thing that prevents me from switching to iPhones, there is just no real alternatives to it due to Apple’s app philosophy.

I unfortunately had to use an iPhone as a temp phone, and it was not a fun experience trying out other manga/comic readers and none ever came close to Tachiyomi.

And it’s anime-including fork, Aniyomi!

I wholehearted recommend TachiJ2K. This fork blows Tachiyomi out of the water with so many thoughtful features and changes.

I think I preferred TachiyomiSY more, but I might look at j2k again.

BitWarden.

One of the best, if not the best password manager I’ve ever used.

I use many, but DAVx⁵ is essential to keep my contacts and calendar in sync.

A few other favourites:

  • Mull: a privacy-hardened version of Firefox
  • Tasks.org: fantastic task app, works well in combination with CalDAV task lists synced with DAVx⁵
  • Syncthing(-Fork) for sharing notes and files between my phone, tablet and computer.

What do you use for you DAV server?

I use Fastmail for my email and calendar. Their server also supports CalDAV task lists, but unfortunately they don’t have any web UI for tasks. In the past, I have self-hosted Nextcloud for tasks, but ultimately dropped it as I had some issues with my server at the time, so it wasn’t reliable, and I found Nextcloud to be too heavy and slow for my needs. I’m now considering self-hosting Vikunja.

Do you use DAVx⁵?

I’ve looked at it a few times, but I’ve never got around to setting it up. I think my first try would be with Nextcloud, then moving to a dedicated server if that proves too slow or unreliable. Has it been much maintenance for you, or mostly fire-and-forget?

Syncthing

It’s a decentralized continuous file synchronization tool. It’s literally magic.

How is the battery drain for you? I’m under the impression that it destroys mine, even though I set it to only run when charging, so I often end up killing it.

Have you tried the fork? It lists one of its enhancements as ‘“Battery eater” problem is fixed.’

I’ve only ever tried the fork. I’ll try leaving it running more to see if anything changes, but I don’t have a good way to pinpoint battery hogs…

It’s running constantly for me. I’ve even disabled battery optimization. It barely consumes anything.
