"Word has layout capabilities, it’s widely understood and marketed as a word processor. Technically, it is geard towards formatting and layouting. And yet, professional journalists, professors, and even poets that don’t care much about fonts, dropcaps and margins, were forced to using it. Not […]

Möchte eine Rechnung an deine Behörde stellen. Dazu brauche ich Microsoft Excel mit aktivierten Macrso, ActiveX und muss mich durch 12(!) Tabs in dem Excel Dokument durcharbeiten. Es ist wklich absurd. Ich schätze die Rechnungsstellung kostet mich am Ende einen halben Arbeitstag. #Selbstständig […]

Unfortunately #Nextcloud 31 seems to break using "external" apps as the global default app :(

Who can help me understand the appeal of Flutter? I just don’t get it. It seems like the worst possible framework to me, yet it notice its popularity is increasing.

Some people accuse me of hating on #Nextcloud too much. So let me be very clear: The way they handled this security incident so far, is very good. Quick, professional and transparent behavior. Well done. Hope the mentioned fixes will land soon […]

Warum hat sich eigentlich die CO2-Konzentration als Indikator für Luftqualität in Innenräumen durchgesetzt? Warum misst man nicht den Sauerstoffgehalt?

Another wild #Nextcloud documentation glitch appears: I really don't know what they're trying to say. At this one location they recommend me to use the OCS Api for my App. At the other location it sounds like OCS Api is just there for legacy, and I should […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Da gerade Viele ihre Mails von US-Anbietern wegziehen: Wenn ihr dabei nicht nur Land wechseln wollt, sondern auch auf #OpenSource umstellen wollt, empfehle ich euch @doncow. Das ist ein fantastisches Paket aus Mailserver, Web-Client und Admin-Oberfläche. Umzugs-Tools, Aliase, Catchall, Filter […]

Lovely, turns out #Nextcloud 31 “calls home” and sends all user info from your instance to your servers. You can disable this, but it’s probably already happened. In a business setting within the EU this needs to be reported to the DPA. https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/51335

Does anyone know if there is an open standard for representing digital #Forms and answers/responses to these forms? I'm wondering why there is no #OpenDocument standard for Forms and responses? Surely someone must have thought about this before?! But I can't find anything online. #FOSS

Things that drive me mad about #Nextcloud: The lack of documentation. PLEASE describe what your internal apps do in more detail. It can't be so hard to write three sentences for non-developers about what this does. Now I have to read through the code and […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Trying to identify the material of this worn down belt buckle. Any ideas how to find out what it is? I guess some kind of brass?! Looking for a way to re-plate these so I can keep on using them.

I hope @heinleinsupport will unify their services like @OpenTalkMeeting and parts of @mailbox_org into a single, consistent suite of #FOSS apps as an alternative to #Nexcloud. However the software behind Mailbox.org (Open-Xchange) is not Open Source – so that won't work. It seems #OpenTalk is […]

Natürlich hab ich ungenutzte Domains ohne Ende rumliegen. Aber keine davon gefällt mir so gut, dass ich sie als primäre E-Mail-Domain nutzen möchte, um endlich von Gmail wegzukommen :(

After having no internet for a week at my place, I wanted to do something about it and help spread the idea of free, open and meshed internet access points. So I set up my first #Freifunk node on a TP-Link Archer C7. Setup was easy enough. However now I’m quite disappointed: The #VPN tunneling […]

Huge misconception I find among many #Nextcloud users. It is not a good system for system backups. It’s lacking a lot of features for that, the clients are too unreliable and the performance for many small files is abysmal. From: @the_grue https://digitalcourage.social/@the_grue/114071894176229298

Hey, was ist eigentlich aus "Streaming OS" von @ZDF und #ARD geworden? Vor fast einem Jahr wurde das vollmundig angekündigt. Seitdem Totenstille. Weiß da jemand was? #ÖRR https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/in-eigener-sache/zdf-ard-mediathek-streaming-100.html

In meinem Wahllokal lag die Wahlbeteiligung nur bei 50%. Ich versteh das nicht. Das wäre statistisch ein krasser Ausreißer. Überall drum herum 80+%. #BTW25 #depol #hamburg https://www.wahlen-hamburg.de/Bundestagswahl_2025/ergebnisse_stimmbezirk_50101.html

I have a #Huawei E5573c #MiFi Hotspot that works well as a network device, without any additional drivers, when I connect it to a Linux PC. However, when I connect it to a #FritzBox as a upstream modem, it will immediately loose its mobile connection and say "No connection". The FritzBox sees […]
