> In the grand scheme of things, nothing matters and we’re all going to die. It’s been a while since I read the GDPR, but I don’t remember a section titled “personal data which is OK to leak because it doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things

Best comment on HN. Ever.

Both clever and informative on so many levels. It seems half of the HN crowd work in the Ad industry and never cease coming up with ridiculous excuses for why it's OK to abuse other people's PII. I was surprised to see there wasn't the usual gnawing of teeth this time, about the GDPR which tend to follow whenever that fine regulation is mentioned.

My list is a bit smaller, but has some overlap. For all platforms (Linux, Windows, MacOS):

  1. Sublime Text & VIM (for all things text)
  2. Firefox with tampermonkey & ublock origin (browsing 101)

For Windows additionally and in general:

  3. Everything (Uses it as my launcher and finder of everything on my computer)
  4. Irfanview (must-have for everything image-related)
  5. Classic Shell/Explorer (to get a usable winXP-like desktop)
  6. Gamma Panel (Adjust brightness via keyboard shortcut presets)
  7. O&O Shut Up (for same reason as you)
  8. Autoruns (to disable all useless services & scheduled crap-ware in windows)
  9. MSys (for linuxy everyday tools, can't work without 'em).
  10. Conda (with opencv, torch ... for automation and graphics munging)
  11. Winamp (For all things music consumption)
  12. VirtualDub ("Irfanview" for Video)
  13. MediaPlayer Home Cinema + ffdshow & LAV filters/splitter (Better VLC)
  14. Avisynth (All things video processing)

For Linux:

  3. Irfanview (must-have for everything image-related)
  4. Conda (for heavier automation than bash)
  5. Wine + (Irfanview, Virtualdub, Avisynth)

For Mac:

  3. iTerm (for a usable terminal)
  4  Homebrew (to get linux tools so I can work)
  5. iStat Menu (to know what the heck my laptop is doing)
  6. Conda (for automation)

Mac's built-in brighness buttons serve sufficiently well as an alternative to Gamma Panel.

(Haven't found a wine-variant for MacOS, so I have to make do with the shtty preview instead of irfanview. For Video stuff I'm forced to use Linux or Windows for via remote desktop).

I wish there was cross-platform install bundle that contained:

* Irfanview, Everything, Avisynth, Virtualdub, MPCHC with LAV filters
... wrapped up in whatever emulation layer suitable for the platform (cross-over/wine or whatever)

If someone aims to create such, that'd be awesome :)

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Would you mind sharing what specific 40G card(s) you're using?
