YouTubeDrive

YouTubeDrive is a Wolfram Language (aka Mathematica) package that encodes/decodes arbitrary data to/from simple RGB videos which are automatically uploaded to/downloaded from YouTube. Since YouTube imposes no limits on the total number or length of videos users can upload, this provides an effectively infinite but extremely slow form of file storage.

YouTubeDrive depends externally on FFmpeg, youtube-upload, and youtube-dl. These programs must be downloaded and installed separately, and prior to first use, YouTubeDrive must be configured with their install locations.

K-9 Mail joins the Thunderbird family

A few weeks ago you might have read that the Thunderbird project is working on a mobile email client. Some of you have mentioned that it might have been a better strategy to support one of the existing open source mail clients on Android instead of creating one. As you may have guessed with the title of this post, the Thunderbird project came to the same conclusion. Once a certain level of functionality is reached, K-9 Mail will morph into Thunderbird on Android, and will be renamed accordingly.

Self Hosted Planet-Scale Navigation Is In Sight with Maps.Earth
@takebackourtech

Happy to have discovered maps.earth project recently which allows you to self-host your own maps server with place/address search and routing!

The Headway Project was born out of a frustration with the need to send current and future location data to a corporation in order to figure out how we’re getting from A to B. Offline-only maps apps can be frustrating to use, and sometimes suffer from performance problems, poor data coverage, or other technical limitations.

Headway aims to remedy these issues by bundling industry-standard software into a web app that’s easy to set up for yourself or your friends. No need to send your location data to anyone you don’t trust, not even maps.earth.

Try out their demo here: https://maps.earth/

Expect to see this one day in Above Privacy Suite.

How do you stay in shape? Try OpenTracks, a privacy respecting sports tracking app.
@takebackourtech

https://opentracksapp.com/

I recently picked up running again and have been impressed with the OpenTracks app, its usability, and how in depth you can get with the statistics. Now to actually get back to running a 9 minute mile 😮‍💨

Sharing: you decide if, when, with whom, and how to share your data.

Elevation gain: estimate your traveled elevation gain

Bluetooth LE sensor: collect your data like heart rate

Photos and Markers: mark interesting places while tracking

Online & offline maps: take what you need with you

Theming: style the maps how you like it

Compass: shows your direction

Pure offline version: for high privacy requirements there is a pure offline version available which doesn’t have the permission to access the internet. Download via F-Droid

Buku, powerful bookmark manager & personal textual mini-web
@takebackourtech | CODE

Ever find something cool on the internet and forget to save it?

In my case I found an alternative repository for Chrome extensions so you wouldn't have to Download it through the Chrome Web Store. Now I'm having a hard time finding it (i have no idea why Google would want to hide it as a result ;)

Thanks to some awesome peeps in the #TBOT XMPP group ([email protected]) I am going to give buku a try, and start saving more information that crosses my screen.

Buku allows you to save links, tag & organize them. You can do cool things like tag a related group of links, and then open all of them at one time.

There's no tracking, hidden history, obsolete records, usage analytics or homing.

Buku gets around the problem of having multiple incompatible bookmark formats across browsers and provides a standard way to sync bookmarks from any computer. You can even integrate it to save a URL in your clipboard with a keyboard shortcut.

I'll let you know my experiences! And hopefully I find that alternative chrome extension repository I was looking for.

NextCloud Collectives: Collaborative Knowledge Base for Communities & Activists
@takebackourtech | SOURCE

Sharing knowledge across a team can be challenging, typically within our organizations we have used one-off documents. Using a knowledgebase app like NextCloud collectives can be super useful as each document links directly to other documents in the knowledgebase. It allows for different groups to manage their own documents, perfect for organizational methodologies like sociocracy.

Do you think your Freedom Cell or community group would benefit from a shared knowledgebase?

Rhasspy: Open-Source Offline Voice Assistant
@takebackourtech | SOURCE

If there was such a thing as a 'Wise Home' that you could control by voice, it would be powered by a fully offline voice recognition solution. Rhasspy could be that solution, it works well with the leading open source home assistant platforms and supports over 15 languages. It offers a simple template language and produces simple JSON events that software can pick up easily.

New Productivity Tools
@takebackourtech | SOFTWARE

Ever feel like you waste a lot of time? Me too. Time trackers can help you get a realistic view of how much time you're spending on different activities. I decided to try a new one out today doing my preparation for the webinar tomorrow! Rather then asking what I'm doing at specific increments, Super Productivity lets you choose the tasks you're working on and time them out.

Its got break timers and even a cool 'procrastination help' page which I could see being helpful for stressful tasks.

Plus there's no accounts, no registration required, and FOSS. Love it.

LinkWarden

Self-hosted, open-source #bookmark + archive manager to collect, and save websites for offline use.

The objective is to have a self-hosted place to keep useful links in one place, and since useful links can go away (see the inevitability of Link Rot), LinkWarden also saves a copy of the link as screenshot and PDF.
