Everything is a super fast search utility for Windows. It indexes the file names of every single file on your system and makes them instantly searchable. Like lightning fast, search as you type – it’s really great!

“Directory Opus is a complete replacement for Explorer, with far more functionality than any other file manager available today.”

Directory Opus has quickly become my favorite way to manage the hundreds of thousands of files on my NAS. Tools for finding duplicate files, folder sync/backup, dual-pane navigation, and an extremely customizable UI lets you make it your own in every aspect.

Veracrypt and Cryptomator Encryption Tools

Wed, 19 Jun 2024 15:26:06 +0000

Two of my favorite file/disk encryption tools here.

Veracrypt has two main functions:

It can encrypt entire disk volumes, including boot drives.
It can create encrypted file containers that exist as a single file that can be stored, copied and backed up like any other file.

Cryptomator is less advanced compared to Veracrypt but is very good at what it does:

Unlike Veracrypt that creates a single encrypted container for your files, Cryptomator encrypts each file individually. This allows it to work well with cloud storage providers like Dropbox where it would be very inefficient to download an entire container just to access one file inside of it.

SuperScan 3 Port Scanner

Fri, 10 May 2024 15:52:55 +0000

SuperScan 3 is a port scanner originally developed by Foundstone and later acquired by McAfee.
While there are newer and ‘better’ scanners out there now, SuperScan 3 is still one of my favorites.

Note that many antivirus scanners will detect this as a hack tool or just block it as ‘malicious’.
The link below is the original, clean, archived copy from McAfee (via archive.org).

Firefox Multi-Account Containers

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 16:23:11 +0000

“Firefox Multi-Account Containers lets you keep parts of your online life separated into color-coded tabs. Cookies are separated by container, allowing you to use the web with multiple accounts.”

This simple extension has become one of my most-used. It makes switching between work and personal accounts so much easier.

My Favorite RSS News Readers

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 17:05:41 +0000

Many websites provide an RSS feed of the content that they post (including this one!). You can subscribe to these feeds using an RSS news reader app to pull all the articles from your favorite sites into one place rather than having to visit each site individually – kind of like an inbox for website articles. Feedly is my favorite RSS reader for Windows/Web and makes it really easy to find sites of interest and subscribe to their content.
