Clipdiary - clipboard manager with history

I love this handy little application called Clipdiary. It monitors your clipboard and automatically saves its contents to a clipboard history. You can retrieve data from the clipboard history whenever you need it—even years later. All data is stored locally on your computer—there are no servers or cloud storage involved. The program also supports database encryption (AES-256), allowing you to password-protect your data. For example, you can configure it to store only the last 100 clipboard entries or set a password, so your clipboard history is accessible only after authentication. You can also clear the history database at any time.

My most common use case is selecting and saving text that I'm writing online. For instance, when I'm writing a post or comment, I periodically select all the text and copy it to the clipboard. This way, if something goes wrong—like encountering an error after submitting a post and losing your text when navigating back in the browser—you can easily restore it from the clipboard history.

The program is free, and you can even get an activation key at no cost. The author simply asks users to spread the word about the app, though it’s not required. I’m recommending this app because I genuinely love it, and it has saved me countless times over the years.

You can download Clipdiary here.

Fixing low brightness (darkness) in 4K HDR movies

Image
Recently, I started watching movies in 4K HDR format more frequently. However, they often appear too dark on both my display and TV. I use the VLC player in both cases. This issue occurs because 4K HDR (High Dynamic Range) movies can look too dark on displays or players that do not fully support HDR. This happens due to the way HDR content is encoded and processed. I’ve decided to investigate why this happens and explore how I can fix it. 1.  HDR Content Is Optimized for HDR Displays HDR content is created with a specific emphasis on a wider range of brightness levels (dynamic range) and colors compared to standard dynamic range (SDR) content. HDR uses metadata to provide instructions to HDR-compatible displays about how to render the brightest highlights, darkest shadows, and vibrant colors. When viewed on an HDR-capable display, this content is mapped correctly to take advantage of the screen’s expanded capabilities, resulting in a more vivid and realistic image. 2.  Ton...

How to set up a simple backup on your UGREEN NAS using rsync & cron scheduler

 As much as I love my UGREEN NAS, it doesn't come with a built-in app for backups. There's one, actually, but it only allows backups between different NASes or between your NAS and your PC. While I needed to set up a backup from one drive on my NAS to another drive on the same NAS. I tried a few Docker containers with web UI, but I wasn't able to make them work, or they didn't work as I wanted (for example one app encrypted the backups, and I wasn't able to change this. And I didn't want my files encrypted, I just needed a simple copy). So in the end, I decided to go with creating a script that runs rsync for a backup and schedule it with cron. I just needed to back up my music folder from one drive to another. Here's how I did this: 1) Log in to your NAS via SSH . 2) Run:   sudo nano /usr/local/bin/backup_music.sh 3) The Nano editor will open, paste this there (update the script to use your paths) SOURCE="/volume1/4TB_NVME/Music/" DEST="/m...
