What's inside sebesta.dev

  1. Select a Linux distribution based on user needs

    Linux serves as a free alternative to Windows, particularly for users whose workflow is browser-based or uses cross-platform software. Recommended distributions include:

    • Linux Mint: Best for users seeking a smooth transition from Windows.
    • Debian: Recommended for a very stable base system.
    • Fedora: A modern and reasonably reliable distribution.
    • CachyOS: A fast, Arch-based system for users who enjoy experimenting.

  2. Generate Cloudflare WARP configuration using wgcf

    To use Cloudflare WARP without the official app, you can use the wgcf CLI tool to register a WARP account and generate a WireGuard configuration file (wgcf-profile.conf).
    # Linux / macOS
wgcf register
wgcf generate

# Windows (Command Prompt)
wgcf.exe register
wgcf.exe generate

  3. Import WARP configuration into WireGuard

    Once you have the wgcf-profile.conf file, you can import it into a WireGuard client. For GUI-based clients (Windows, macOS, Android, iOS), use the 'Import tunnel(s) from file' option. For Linux CLI, use wg-quick.
    # Linux: Copy configuration and enable tunnel
sudo cp wgcf-profile.conf /etc/wireguard/wgcf-profile.conf
sudo wg-quick up wgcf-profile

# Linux: Disable tunnel
sudo wg-quick down wgcf-profile

  4. Alternatives to Adobe Lightroom for photo editing

    Several options exist for RAW photo processing:

    • darktable and RawTherapee: Free, powerful, though less user-friendly than Lightroom.
    • RapidRAW: A modern, open-source, GPU-accelerated RAW editor with a non-destructive workflow and photo library (currently in active development).
    • Zoner Studio: A paid alternative with a yearly license.

  5. Configure Cloudflare DNS

    If you only require DNS encryption/privacy without a full VPN tunnel, you can manually set your device or router DNS to Cloudflare's resolvers.
    TypePrimarySecondary
    IPv41.1.1.11.0.0.1
    IPv62606:4700:4700::11112606:4700:4700::1001

  6. Troubleshoot WireGuard on Android TV

    Since WireGuard is not natively in the Android TV Play Store, it must be sideloaded via APK (e.g., from F-Droid). If the internet disconnects after activation, configure a system proxy with IP 127.0.0.1 and port 56000.

  7. Choose a free 3D modeling or CAD tool

    For general 3D modeling, Blender is the recommended free and open-source option. For CAD-specific work, Onshape is a cloud-based alternative with a layout similar to Autodesk tools. Note that Onshape's free plan is restricted to non-commercial use and all documents are public.

  8. Password management alternatives to paid services

    Bitwarden provides a free plan with unlimited passwords, devices, and passkeys. For those preferring self-hosting, Vaultwarden is a lightweight, unofficial implementation of the Bitwarden API written in Rust that is compatible with official Bitwarden clients.

  9. Verify Cloudflare WARP connection

    After activating the WireGuard tunnel, verify that the traffic is routing through WARP by checking the Cloudflare trace endpoint. A successful connection will show warp=on in the response.
    curl https://cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace

  11. Alternatives to Outlook and corporate email clients

    Thunderbird is a free, easy-to-set-up alternative to Outlook. For Android users, Thunderbird for Android (based on K-9 Mail) allows managing multiple providers in a single app.

  12. Alternatives to Adobe Premiere and After Effects for video editing

    For professional video editing and post-production:

    • DaVinci Resolve: A powerful tool for editing, color grading, and audio post-production. Available as a free version or a one-time Studio license. Version 21 includes a dedicated Photo page.
    • Kdenlive: Suitable for smaller video edits.
    • FFmpeg: The industry standard for format conversions and scripted processing.
    • Cavalry: A free (for individuals) alternative to After Effects for 2D motion graphics on Windows and macOS. Alternatively, the Fusion tab in DaVinci Resolve can be used.
