Nextcloud's Cookbook app is nice and useful!
Recipes from supported websites (schema.org recipe format) can be imported from the web app and viewed on mobile (Android) using the app (requires Nextcloud installed as well)

Was looking up CommonMark and came across this nice tutorial on Markdown syntax. Learnt few things I didn't know before :)

Firefox config to load tabs in background (CTRL+click or from external applications).

In about:config, set
browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground to true

Prefer this to the default, especially when opening links from my RSS reader (QuiteRSS)

Used Aegisub for the first time. It is a GUI for creating subtitles:

Once created, subtitles can be embedded in videos, using VLC , if necessary. TJ Free has some tutorials on YouTube:
