tools and cool stuff

easy text editor: textpad

graphics: paint.net (needs some plugins though, for example to support webp)

file search: agent ransack

analyze drive size/contents: treesize free

free SSH client for Windows: PuTTY
more advanced (tabs, credentials cache): Solar PuTTY (free, but beware sales team like a stable fly)

ftp client: filezilla

local WAMP development environment: wamp64

tool to compare files and generate patches: winmerge

zip and unzip: peazip or 7zip (although I found 7zip to corrupt files in some instances)

two cool sites today, the first one makes an avatar say a text for you on video, the second rips out the video background (like a greenbox) and can paste in another background.
