Looking for a free kanban software without subscription

Greetings,

I'm working on a solo project and I'd like a Kanban board to keep track of what I need to do.

But pretty much every single Kanban board software I can find requires subscription or payment. I don't need something big with plenty of feature to facilitate teamwork, I'm currently solo. Anyone know a simple, free tool for that?

Map nintendo switch screenshot button to discord push to talk

Im using nintendo switch controller to game on steam on windows PC, and it blows my mind how hard this is to figure out. I want to remap the screenshot button so that it enables push to talk in discord, which can be mapped to any button. I tried mapping it to ` key, and then in steam big picture mode, changing the screenshot button to `, but when in the game itself, clicking ` doesn't register in discord.

Im willing to get another controller that might make things easier. Is xbox controller better for gaming on steam/remapping push to talk? Anything to make this as easy as possible without me having to stack different software solutions to get what I'm looking for.

Document Management software

I'm looking for a document management software to organize several documents, PDFs, etc. The documents should be easily searchable with keywords present in them. I'm also looking to create connections between each of the documents based on some reference. Another requirement is to be able to automatically import attachments from Outlook as well.

Please suggest me some DMS that's also easy to use. I need to find one urgently

File manager for huge numbers of files

I've been using totalcommander to do tasks like for example, move photos off of my phone and camera onto my windows computer, and from there onto my NAS backup.

My phone has thousands and thousands of photos on it, so the process of totalcommander checking each file and copying the missing ones takes hours. Many hours. Like 24 hours. Despite being connected over USB 3 and using state of the art PCIE SSDs.

There has to be a better way, right?

Also, over the years and various file migration, I have been left with quite a few redundant directories and duplicates of files. What would be a good utility to use to sort through and remove these duplicates, and perhaps refactor everything into folders like year>month>day?

Can anyone help me get Czkawka installed on Windows 11?

I found the Windows zip file on Github and downloaded it, extracted the files, but nothing happens when I double click on "windows_czkawka_cli.exe".

Also tried following the instructions to use Winget to install Czkawka. In the CMD prompt (running as admin) it showed that it was successfully installed, but I can't find it under the Start menu list of apps or in either Program Files or Program Files (x86). There is a copy of the .exe in the following location, but double clicking on it does not do anything.

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\qarmin.czkawka.cli_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe

How does the backend of a vpn client work?

Hey everyone,

I've been using VPN services for a while now, and I've always been curious about how the backend of VPN clients actually functions. We're all familiar with the user-friendly front end where we can select servers and connect with just a click, but what's happening behind the scenes?

My main questions are:

  1. Server Information Management: Is there a central server that holds information about all the available VPN servers? How does the client know which servers are online and available for connection?
  2. User Authentication: When connecting to a VPN server, there must be some form of authentication involved. How are credentials provided to the client securely? Surely, they're not hardcoded into the source code of the client app, right?

YouTube Video Downloader That Supports Bulk and 4K Download

Hey guys. Just wondering if there's any YouTube video downloader out there that supports bulk or queue download, as well as 4k downloader. I am currently using this downloader but it does not support queue/bulk download. I had to wait until the first download is finished before adding another video link. Thanks!

Clipgrab

Is Clipgrab safe? I'm trying to find a way to download youtube videos, and I tried Clipgrab. I made sure I was on the official website, and downloaded it. I got a windows security risk notification, that told me it gave me a PUP (potentially unwanted program). I uninstalled it. I've heard from others Clipgrab is safe (as long as you use their official website), but I just wanted to double check. If not, I'm looking for other (preferably simple) websites to download yt videos on, thanks :)

(also apologizes if this violates the first rule, I've seen others post abt clipgrab in the past so I figured it was okay & ofc im just using it for personal use)

Open source software for community garden management

I am the SysAdmin for a non-profit that operates a community garden. I'm hoping to find some form of software that will allow me to manage who has rented the plots and to track their membership levels.

We do have NeonOne for the rest of our operations, but it doesn't handle the community garden very well.

Any ideas?

Software to manage several external monitors and move windows to them fast

Hi, im using windows 10.

Sometimes i use 2 monitors with my laptop, and if i want to move a chrome window to one and make it fill the entire screen, i need to move it with a mouse to the desired screen, click F11 to make it full screen. I can also can use the windows key + arrows, but it takes time and several presses.

Is there a software that can manage this better? Like a hotkey to automatically send my focused window to display X and make it full screen.

Thanks in advance.

YouTube video player but offline

Lately I've been recording my gameplay so I can self analyse. But it turns out that most video players for Windows are worse for it than the YouTube player, which allows you to go slow mo and frame by frame all while accepting intuitive shortcuts. I would really appreciate being able to watch my recordings at the YouTube player without having to actually upload them to YouTube.

TL DR: I want to use YouTube's video player to watch my own recordings without needing to upload them to YouTube but I don't know how to do it.

Does anyone have a clue on how to do so?

I created a simple open-source TV-show renaming tool: BulkRename

hiHi there!

Due to the large amount of data I accumulate, I want to name the files properly and keep everything in order. That's why I developed a tool years ago that does this work for me. I know there are other tools like sonarr/radarr, but when I developed the tool, I couldn't find any free software that did exactly what I wanted: name my TV shows neatly.

Recently I decided to release the tool as open source, and now it's ready. It's very easy to install and use, and the features are kept to a minimum. The installation, usage, parameters, and development are documented in detail, see the link below. If I have forgotten something or something is unclear, please let me know.

Project links

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/Ramo-Y/BulkRename

Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/ramoy/bulkrename

Installation

For the simplest installation, you can use the following docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.7'
services:
  bulkrename:
    image: ramoy/bulkrename:latest
    container_name: "bulkrename"
    environment:
      ASPNETCORE_URLS: http://*:8080
      SupportedFileEndings: "mkv;mp4;m4v;avi"
      FoldersToIgnore: ".@__thumb" # this is for example a folder generated by QNAP that causes errors
      TZ: "Europe/Zurich"
    ports:
      - "8080:80"
    volumes:
      - "/share/Downloads/Files://app//Files//" # folder in which your TV show files must be located at the time of renaming
      - "/share/Downloads/Logs://app//Logs//" # optional to have logs available outside docker

Usage

Briefly summarized, you create a folder structure in the working folder of the tool as follows:

/WorkingDirectory
  /The Walking Dead
    /Season 01
      twd.s1e01.GERMAN.5.1.UNTOUCHED.DUBBED.DL.AC3.1080p.WEB-DL.h264-TvR.mkv
      twd.s1e02.GERMAN.5.1.UNTOUCHED.DUBBED.DL.AC3.1080p.WEB-DL.h264-TvR.mkv
      twd.s1e03.GERMAN.5.1.UNTOUCHED.DUBBED.DL.AC3.1080p.WEB-DL.h264-TvR.mkv
      twd.s1e04.GERMAN.5.1.UNTOUCHED.DUBBED.DL.AC3.1080p.WEB-DL.h264-TvR.mkv
      twd.s1e05.GERMAN.5.1.UNTOUCHED.DUBBED.DL.AC3.1080p.WEB-DL.h264-TvR.mkv
      twd.s1e06.GERMAN.5.1.UNTOUCHED.DUBBED.DL.AC3.1080p.WEB-DL.h264-TvR.mkv

You can then open a preview via the web interface that shows how the file will be renamed. The new names will be like this (normally displayed in the web UI as a before-and-after preview, but I could not insert the image here, see documentation):

/WorkingDirectory
  /The Walking Dead
    /Season 01
      The Walking Dead - S01E01.mkv
      The Walking Dead - S01E02.mkv
      The Walking Dead - S01E03.mkv
      The Walking Dead - S01E04.mkv
      The Walking Dead - S01E05.mkv
      The Walking Dead - S01E06.mkv

If everything looks good, you can confirm the renaming and save the history if you wish.

There is also a history tab where all renaming histories are displayed. To activate this feature, Json or Database must be set in PersistanceMode. See PersistanceMode

Conclusion

The tool has already saved me a lot of time and I have always been satisfied with the results. There is certainly room for improvement, but it does the job. If you have any change requests or suggestions for improvement, feel free to write them here, create issues on GitHub, or make a pull request directly on GitHub (please follow the development instructions in the documentation).

Some functions are intended for very advanced environments, such as logging in Seq or storage in an SQL database, but if you do not need them, you can leave them disabled.

Please don't judge me on the color choice and design, I'm a backend developer and I'm afraid of CSS.

Portable version of OneDrive/GDrive/Mega?

I'm a freelancer. And I really hates installation of softwares. They always hides an abundant files. Unlike portable version, it is in one folder and don't linger. And if I want to remove it, they don't leave a residual files.

I'm handling a multiple of accounts, and by having a portable version, I could open simultaneous cloud storage accounts, and manage it.

Antivirus softwares and recommendations

My father is obsessed with antiviruses because when he did not use one his pc was caught with countless trojan files and he is afraid of it happening again. We did then order 10 device plan from BITDEFENDER, for pc, tablets and phones. This software helped us a lot, we are having a good time with it. But prices have increased a bit nowadays. the same renewable plan was (converted) 50$, now its close to 80$. at bitdefender's level of quality there is only KASPERSKY I can think of, which sits at the same price. Should we keep bitdefender or change to Kaspersky? those who have kaspersky, what do you like about it and what you dislike?
