Links of the day

I collect cool, interesting links spread all over the web and share them here in daily posts. Hope you enjoy! More of them in the archive.

Signal's popularity soars in Europe. In Finland, the app is the most downloaded one in the Play Store's communication category among free apps. I'm curious about the reasons. It can't be sovereignty or anti-American sentiment, since Signal is based in the US. (By the way, have you downloaded it yet?)

WinDirStat 2.5.0. This Windows utility visually displays the device's memory, distinguishing the directories (folders) that take up the most space. The new version adds dark mode support and brings several improvements. Download it here.

stegodon. A CMS for blogs accessible via SSH that communicates with ActivityPub. (The published blog can be read on the web and generates an RSS feed.)

Start a f***ing blog (archived links). I don't know if it's “the best thing on the web you can do,” but it's certainly among the best.

rekall. A fairly dose of cyberpunk aesthetics.
