Software for the Advanced Administrator [3/3]
Part 3 of 3 in Series: lists will continually be updated periodically.
This is a continuation of my lists, “Recommended Software for the Average Joe and Jane” and “Software for the Tech-Savvy Power User” but with software I believe requires technical knowledge, not just literacy.
I also want to iterate that these are recommendations for personal use, not for an IT department.
Criteria I look for universally for my lists are as follows:
— Open source code: publicly audited
— Privacy-focus: minimal data collection, encryption by default
— Security-focus: 2FA available, encryption by default
— Zero Knowledge end-to-end encryption (E2EE) when appropriate
— Cross-platform or progressive web apps (PWAs) + cloud backup/sync
— Freemium subscription model, so basic features are always available for free
— Oligarchy / Big Tech alternative
— Absence of “dark” or deceptive patterns
Criteria specifically for this list:
— If open source software isn’t available for a feature then proprietary software is tolerated for this list

Comments and Reviews
Cisco Packet Tracer helped me alot during my cisco CCNA other certification courses. Helped me understand the protocols and concepts of networking. Loved how you are able to apply networking protocols and setup and simulate networks.
