adblock as of recently (last year or two) is actually being paid off by large corporations to selectively target some ads to you, whoever bids the highest price
uBlock origin doesn’t do this.
Also, I had ghostery but I really only looked at it to see what websites were tracking me on (doubleclick.net), mostly so I could know all the big data tracking companies out there of out pure curiosity
both ublock origin and ghostery do similar things, I don’t 100% know the differences though, but ublock has a focus on blocking ads
I actually use 16" monitors alot, there really portable
I actually run both a program, and an extension (actually I run 2 programs and an extension, since phraseexpress is also a clipboard manager - but I don’t use that)
The extension on chrome has a short-lived cache, it comes it really handy when I want to see my last 10-20 pastes. Subsequently I also never copypaste passwords because of these apps/extensions
I use ditto clipboard manager, because of the way ShareX works. Sometimes, I have a certain profile setup, and my program will copy certain things in the clipboard in sequence (E.g., it copies filepath name, then the image, then the URL on imgur). I usually just press a hotkey to specify which one I want. So I never have to worry about what different saveas/dialog prompts anymore, with any program, on any server, and hardly ever navigate to find an image I want to upload from my desktop right away.
I’m still working on my blogsite / wordpress site, but I’m really behind on it. Actually, I have several blog sites as testing grounds only to find what I really wanted was something like dynalist.io / workflowy. I am still compiling all that information into my notes / SOP
Its not that high of a priority since I still have a huge log of stuff from TODOIST / other inboxes that need to be done / logged into dynalist.io . Also, subsequently since I log everything I do relevant to work, I can simply write a blog post on my wordpress site on every sunday when I compile my notes anyhow
Am working on youtube tutorials stuff as well, but I have some serious concerns about privacy issues about showing my workflows/ notes so that’s on the backburner as well
I personally use ninite.com instead. Its similar, but its just a oneclick installer. It has the vast majority of apps I like to use (filezilla, putty, greenshot, shareX, thunderbird, etc). Whenever I install my new computer I just go through that
I thought about using a virtual computer with windows, but I simply am too lazy to even set it up. I looked into vagrant, docker, etc for a controlled dev environment (installing packages, etc) but I decided to just be lazy about it and use 3rd party solutions (pythonanywhere, cloud9 IDE) . That, and sometimes I just stick with sublime text editor, a git workflow, and command prompt
Same thing with servers. I am simply too lazy to set up anything besides WAMP just purely for a dev PHP environment. I think once I outgrow the simpler solutions I go onto something more complex
Also, I would really like to setup a plex media server (movies, files, images, videos - e.g. like my own personal netflix) but I don’t have the hardware / money / time / resources for it at the moment
I looked into the portableapps, but I only use maybe 5-6 of those apps (e.g. WinDirStrat , 7zip, Sumatra) and there all on ninite.com anyhow
