huginn, Create agents that monitor and act on your behalf. I'm not sure I have a need of it but I am noticing I'm more willing to try it out when there's a Docker version (and there is for this)     #>


Linux Backup Solutions. Decent list. I'm still trying to sort mine out, I think it's going to be a Raspberry Pi 4 in an alternate location mounting drives with LUKS (so they are encrypted by default) and probably just an rsync cron job every night.     #>


I subscribed to MagPi for a couple of years (I had the extra money and I believe in their mission) but everything they do is open so they publish a Index of MagPi issues with everything downloadable as PDF. Nice if you just want to browse on a tablet.     #>


Windows Screen Recorder, open-source (aka "free")     #>


Google Hit Hider by Domain (and a 1 minute video demo on YouTube). Haven't checked the state of Greasemonkey on Firefox in a while, wonder if this still works...     #>


Shop Class as Soulcraft. It still baffles me when people don't even express an interest in making or fixing things, it's just such a part of my DNA.     #>


I was using these instructions to shrink a VirtualBox VM (since it was a dynamic drive and wasn't using the full space): How to Shrink a VirtualBox Virtual Machine and Free Up Disk Space. It's kind a pain in the butt and in the end it wasn't helpful since I'd converted a Win7 desktop into a VHD file (Windows Virtual Disk) and not a VDI (VirtualBox native disk). The solution was to use CloneVDI which is a Windows tool but runs great under WINE in Linux and has a checkbox to "compact" when converting. Way easier and way faster.     #>
