The self-hosted movement is gaining momentum, with users wanting to reduce their reliance on cloud services while keeping their data safe on their home network. But once you've spun up a few containers, maybe with Portainer to simplify management, you run into one issue. Accessing every individual service via their own IP address and port gets annoying fast and becomes a major source of friction when trying to get used to self-hosted apps.

If you're still on Windows 10, you may have noticed that something new appeared on your operating system after doing a Windows update. The newest update brings in the brand new Outlook app, which Microsoft is using to replace the old Mail and Calendar apps. There's just one problem: it's not great.

Keyboard shortcuts and automations are powerful tools for boosting productivity on Windows. By reducing reliance on the mouse and streamlining repetitive tasks, you can save significant time throughout your day. Here’s a list of ways to save time with keyboard shortcuts and automations on Windows.

Windows has been around for decades, but sharing your files is still a little tricky. If you're tired of doing the "send an email with an attachment to yourself" trick, the new Windows 11 Release Preview build has a nifty sharing feature that lets you send files right from your taskbar.

I play around with browsers quite a bit, and very few have managed to tear me away from Google Chrome. While I still dabble with Floorp and use it significantly more than other browsers that I've used, Zen Browser is one that I've been using for about a week now consistently. It's the best browser that I've used, and no matter what browser you're using, it's worth giving a shot.

If you've been keeping up to date with your GPU news, you'll know that AMD may release the mighty RX 4070 in March. Well, it turns out that its developments may have spooked Nvidia a bit, as Team Green has decided to push the release of its own RTX 5070 back a month. And even if the company didn't plan the move, it still presents a fine opportunity for Nvidia to take a swipe at its age-old rival.

Assembling a Network-Attached Storage unit can be a fun project, regardless of whether you repurpose old hardware or purchase new components. Similar to conventional PC-building, installing an operating system becomes the next course of action after you’re done putting the storage server together. Luckily (or unfortunately, if you’re afflicted with indecisiveness), the NAS ecosystem is home to a host of operating systems, ranging from the all-powerful TrueNAS Scale to the lightweight champ OpenMediaVault.

If you don’t keep your MacBook clean, it’s bound to end up at the repair shop. And while reaching for the nearest cleaning supplies might seem like the solution, think again.

DaVinci Resolve is a powerful video editor and color-grading tool, but performance can suffer when you're working with high-resolution video clips, heavy effects, complex timelines, or limited hardware.

As much as I've been enjoying enjoying my Mac Mini since I reviewed it, it's impossible to deny that there are some notable faults with macOS. One of them is Finder, the built-in file manager, which is somehow even worse than File Explorer on Windows — in some ways, at least. One of my biggest pet peeves is that hitting Enter doesn't open a folder, and instead tries to rename it.

Whether you use your Pi as a media server, programming, automation, remotely controlling your home, or as a regular desktop, the right software will help you unlock the device's full potential. Unlike Windows and Mac, which rely only on app stores and executable installers (.exe and .dmg) that you download, the Raspberry Pi often requires you to work with external software repositories in addition to the in-built apps, use command-line tools, package managers, and other alternative methods to install your apps. The five methods below will help you get apps up and running on your Raspberry Pi.
