If you go back and watch my previous year videos on this, you'll see a lot of the same items, and a lot of new ones as well. === Links === Show Notes https://wiki.opensourceisawesome.com/books/annual-open-source-software-im-using/page/the-open-source-software-im-using-in-2026 Get the AwesomeOpenSource Merchandise https://osia.printify.me Support my Channel and ongoing efforts through Patreon: https://patreon.com/awesomeopensource Buy Me a Coffee or Beer https://paypal.me/BrianMcGonagill?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US === Get My Novel === Entanglement - by Brian McGonagill Dave is just a normal guy with a normal job that he doesn't like that much.

can you make more videos related to open source AI ?
I don't understand why you need both Pangolin and Netbird. Aren't they the same type of tool? Accessing servers from outside the network?
Hey, do you have an external DVD/Bluray drive to recommend?
How can we host netbird via Pangolin ? Could you please share how you did it 🙏🏽
Как же отлично что есть такие энтузиасты, которые рассказывают про открытый софт, спасибо тебе друг!
Is it just me or is everything kind of blurry and hard to read regardless of what quality I set playback for this video to?
Hi there, I would like to bring to your attention a promising open source video editor: "Amber Video Editor", a fork of Olive. The project is under active development and already includes several improvements such as new features, bug fixes, and ongoing updates.
Thank you so much for Immich $25 per user for lifetime no issue to buy Paid.
May I ask what new tab extension you're using at 0:28
Great work! Thank you. I am with you on the barrage of registrations and started with nextcloud. This video has been enlightening.
Why do you use Docker instead of Podman?
#slop Ollama is a front end to illegal dataset models trained.
Ty for the video. If taking suggestions, Next year onwards plz consider Having 2 Videos one for Desktop Applications and another for Hosted servers. Thank you.
I've been subscribed to your channel for some time now at least a year I've seen some of your videos but you know we're just also just damn busy but I'm glad I listened to this in the truck you mentioned that lube logger That's a big one for me man I'm a bastard when it comes to my preventive maintenance and I could put other things in there that aren't really vehicles but I can track everything for the house the cars other people's bullshit you know I'm a son of a bitch when it comes to my maintenance The Golden rule is: Schedule your maintenance before the maintenance decides the schedule it on its own time which could be very inconvenient for you Good video all around I'm happy with the content I'm glad you do this once a year and you have other good items in there but lube lager is just something that stood out and punched me in the face like Mike Tyson😂
I always love these videos every year. They are definitely part of the reason I subscribed in the first place as they give me so many ideas and motivation to go try out new things on my hardware. Great video as always.
What made you choose Beszel over Zabbix ?
I watched this video to see if you were using something you reviewed a few years ago: Zentyal I need to do more research on Linux based Active Directory with RADIUS but what do you think about it now as well as FreeIPA?
Add Orca slicer and ditch Bambu slicer.
Thanks for this video. I discover for me some new tools.
Thank you for this. I bookmarked quite a few apps from this video that I had never seen before.
