  • I’d suggest Stirling PDF, just get the Stirling-PDF.jar file from the releases. It does really lots of stuff (though I had some issues with creating pdfs with multiple pages per page). It open a port for the service to run locally and once you close it, it also closes the port.

    I also use libre office draw (or firefox printing menu) to create pdfs with multiple pages per page.

    There’s also xournal as some other people have mention that has some editing capabilities.


  • Is this why such posts get so downvoted? Do people on lemmy really think that those posters defend the other party?

    Aren’t we (the users of lemmy) supposed to lean vaguely on the left by a large factor?😅

    When I see posts like this one here, I just get frustrated to see that guy using his mighty power for this, when the US is about to sink further into fascism, harming many many people in the process.

    I don’t even really care that much that he lied in the past that he wouldnt pardon his son, I just get angry to see that of all things that he could do in this very critical time he has, he’s essentially securing his family while he is peacefully letting the country and its people sink. It just kinda verifies it once again that they don’t care much about the people, losing the elections for them it meant that they might have reduced profits.

    I get that people would react badly on such post during the election, cuz they could allow the fascists to win, but the elections are now over, the results can’t change very much.😅

    Doesn’t the majority of the people here see it as I do?

    Heyy, I’m too in the process of moving from windows (10) to debian :) (though I’m very new to linux, but not new to open source software)

    I was surprised that notepad++ didnt have native support for linux and while I tried many stuff, indeed I couldnt find a real replacement. I have kinda concluded that I will either use bottles with wine to run notepad++ (takes around half a minute to open) or use Geany and try to customize it as much as I can. (There are also Notepadqq which is kinda dead and NotepadNext which is still in very early stage.) I’ll probably go with Geany and chech on NotepadNext if it evers becomes good enough.

    I had a recent post about running windows stuff on linux and people gave me some good advice here: https://mander.xyz/post/18701186

    Edit: I just found Textadept, might check it later (found it from a comment under this video).









  • I switched to DroidFS from EDS lite (a kinda dead open source alternative) few months ago. It’s soooo nice.

    I think it’s the first app that can open a big video without allocating that space in internal storage. Previously, if I had a 1gb encrypted video, apps would decrypt it in internal storage and play it, temporarily taking up an extra gigabyte (this was an issue if I didn’t have enough space).

    I’m using gocryptfs because I actually kinda like seeing the file structured, in case I need to delete a folder or file without decrypting the storage, and I can decrypt those files on pc too (I think both windows and linux have an app for this).
