• vaultwarden

  489 33,546 8.8 Rust

  Unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust, formerly known as bitwarden_rs

• Pi-hole

  2,358 47,032 7.8 Shell

  A black hole for Internet advertisements

  

Pi-Hole - I have Pi-Hole running in a docker container on my server. My router then uses Pi-Hole as it's DNS provider. This blocks all adverts and trackers going across my network. There are still some that get through like YouTube ads but it blocks the majority including Google Analytics.

• omnivore

  67 9,141 10.0 TypeScript

  Omnivore is a complete, open source read-it-later solution for people who like reading.

• languagetool

  311 11,642 10.0 Java

  Style and Grammar Checker for 25+ Languages

  

LanguageTool - I liked using Grammarly to check my writing, but it is not great for privacy considering it sends off everything you write to Grammarly servers. LanguageTool is a great open source alternative that you can run locally.

• KeePass2.x

  315 292 2.9 C#

  unofficial mirror of KeePass2.x source code

I also tried out KeePass for a little bit but prefer the BitWarden apps. The key thing here is don't store your passwords in the cloud as they are massive target for hackers.

• Duplicacy

  136 5,025 5.6 Go

  A new generation cloud backup tool

Having all your data in one place isn't wise though, so I am planning on storing encrypted backups on Dropbox and Backblaze B2 using Duplicity so that I am following the 3-2-1 backup rule.

• searxng
