    Invidious is an alternative front-end to YouTube

    He mentioned Invidious, which is an alternate frontend to youtube: https://invidious.io/

    Basically the same as the search engines they mentioned, that rely on google, but he himself doesn't use google directly.

  • photos-app

    Discontinued ➡️ Moved to https://github.com/ente-io/ente

    Have you tried using ente[1] for sharing photos?

    Disclosure: founder here.

    You can share albums via links, and you can even allow your family to add photos[1] to your albums. They don't need an account or an app. All your photos are stored in original quality, e2ee.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • osmand_map_creation

    OSM data + open address data compiled for use in OSMAnd

    Try OSM. It is more reliable than google in performance now, believe it or not.

    Address lookup is a shortcoming, and there's this https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation to help you get around that, and sometimes the routing algorithm used by Osmand in particular can be goofy from time to time, I can't speak to other clients. Finally, there's traffic, which is not a problem that can be resolved without collecting and processing data from all users, which I find unethical and so will live without.

  • i2p.i2p

    I2P is an anonymizing network, offering a simple layer that identity-sensitive applications can use to securely communicate. All data is wrapped with several layers of encryption, and the network is both distributed and dynamic, with no trusted parties.

    Sounds overly complicated. I prefer torrenting on I2P instead: https://geti2p.net.
