What is your favourite open source software that you discovered in the past year, that you can no longer live without?
Mine is Local Send which is a FOSS alternative similar to air drop that works across a variety of devices.

Make sure you get a reputable VPN to avoid issues with any "questionably acquired" content.
Just use Usenet.
I've never been able to figure out how to use usenet. Do you have any suggestions on how to get started?
I know it's reddit but this is a good guide. https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/18q7r0f/usenet_starter_guide/
Beyond that DM me for indexer invites if you seriously go down this path. Happy to help with any technical questions as well!
I've been very happy with a couple of indexers that I have paid for. I haven't needed to really jump into the invite only world. There really is A LOT of content available easily. I'm sure more niche content might need more select access, but for me I haven't gotten there. There was one Charlie Brown I have on VHS that took forever to find a better copy of, but I did eventually get a better version.
Any suggestions? I currently have a nord subscription but it's about to run out and I'm considering moving.
Mullvad is the gold standard
Proton
Mullvad is good like the other guy said but Proton has port forwarding, which if you don't wanna be a HnR jerk you wanna do
Only some countries need VPNs. If your country doesn't care about piracy (e.g. Italy, Spain or Eastern Europe) just don't bother paying for a VPN.
