  • I will be off topic as what I am going to suggest is not open source… But I myself looked for a long time what was the best free windows file manager and I settled up on FreeCommander.
    By default UI is not nice but it’s possible to make it nice enough.

    I use this one mainly because : you can use it for free, dual pan, it remembers tab history between sessions, tabs can be renamed and colored. Hope someone will suggest a good open source one but I don’t think there is any :-/





  • IMHO I am not an expert but Mullvad seems the best (from what I read from others) and I would stick with it. I am using it and happy with it. I also appreciate that their monthly price do not change depending on how many months you subscribe and that there is no bullshit discount for the first x months.
    You could also look at Proton VPN if you need port forwarding.

    About SurfShark don’t have much opinion !






  • What I find annoying is for what you occasionally use.

    For instance I started to listen more frequently to a songs service (which I was bypassing ads) and so I thought to officially subscribe. When I looked at prices I didn’t because it was too costly and knowing me I could stop anyday to use it. Price for one was above 10 when for two it was something like 14 so 7 per person and which I would have been ok to pay. Good for me because I stopped to listen some weeks after and it has beek years I didn’t really use it.

    I think, especially for video and audio media consumption, you should pay a global amount and it should be split between services you used. Split should be based on usage.
