Free Software that I rely on. One per day.
Day 18:
MKVToolNix
This is a tool kit of utilities, including a GUI front end, for manipulating Matroska streaming multimedia files (usually "MKV" or "MKA" files).
The Matroska container format allows for multiple audio, video, and text streams, which means you can encode a video with multiple options for audio and subtitles (as well as alternate video tracks).
It also supports setting up "Chapter" marks.
A must-have for authoring and checking complex videos for streaming and download use.

#freesoftwareadvent day 4!
#yazi is a terminal file manager, which is both simple (if you're into that kind of things - you like vim, right?) and efficient.
- jump directly to usual folders with zoxide integration
- jump to a file based on partial name matching with just g-H
- search for files super fast with ripgrep and fd integration
- simple multi tab concept, open a new tab with t
- multi-select using vim concepts, or simply pressing space; copy, cut, paste, rename... Easily -
Thought I’d just throw this one into the mix.
LocalSend. It just works. I can move stuff around all my various devices with pretty much zero hassle.
Best thing I’ve installed on anything. Looks great too!
