My family already uses signal as are default form of communication between each but the point that I forgot to add was for the 1% of conversation. Some of my family member have there own businesses that mostly use email but when we are in the field we use regular SMS/MMS/imessage for quick communication between “us” and the client. At least here we most only use plain SMS or iMessage if applicable is used because most people see messaging apps like Signal, WhatsApp and other third party apps for personal use only.

I should have asked more specifically asking how are they using zstd. I already understand that its a compression algorithm.

Can someone explain,

Firefox now supports Content-encoding: zstd (zstandard compression). This is an alternative to broti and gzip compression for web content, and can provide higher compression levels for the same CPU used, or conversely lower server CPU use to get the same compression. This is heavily used on sites such as Facebook.

what it means for me the user and what it means for the people who host content?

What is RealDebrid?

Yes, scoop. I still can’t remember why I don’t like it. I might give it a try when I reinstall windows.

I was thinking of adding it to my list but I’m trying not to download any software on a browser if I can try because I might click on one of those fake look-a-like site that give you malware like what happened to gimp with google ads a while back.

Another reason for why I didn’t added it to my list is that it doesn’t have apps that I perfer like ungoogled chromium, brave, Librewolf, MPV, neovim, rustdesk, croc, rust, Gog, vscodium, prism launcher, signal, simplex, tor browser, yt-dlp, and Obsidian.

Package mangers are way better for updating than using ninite so I won’t have to deel with an app just sending me to download the newest verson.

I do like using ninite for when a friend or family asking for some help with a file so I send them a ninite with Libreoffice, VLC, and 7-Zip (but now win 11 has native support for winrar and 7z so it isn’t need for most users)

And yes I know that ninite is very defferent from a package manager, all i’m try to say is that I would rather sepnd a little more time setting up choco then use ninite.

I ment one photo viewer. I only like it because it’s a very minimalistic photo viewer and also the windows photo kept crashing at some point so I needed a replacement.

• Autohotkey
• Powertoys
• winget, choco and that other one
• Faststone
• advanced Renamer
• croc
• shareX
• one photo viewer (sadly only on window store)
• everything

I wouldn’t consider them hidden gems for the tech savvy community, but for the general community pretty much is.

Windows 11 has a bug that when I’m in file explorer and a drag a file out of the window or drag to the file to list of folder or drives on the left side of file explorer. It will freeze file explorer for about one minute. This only happens once in a while. I was extremely frustrated with windows 11 bugs that I thought to switch back to Arch Linux for real this time and even if I bricked Arch Linux, I would reinstall. There is also that Windows 11 AMD CPU bug where it will start to hitch every once in a while, when I was on my desktop. I have been thinking of going back but I love customizability of Linux and bash.
