NextCloud has introduced a "digital sovereignty" index.

Digital Sovereignty is the right and the ability for a country, organization, or even an individual to run critical digital services (independently of Big Tech) on infrastructure they control, under rules they set, so they stay in charge of their own digital presence.

The index Ranks 50 countries, based on actual usage.

Finland came out on Top.

Finland Tops Nextcloud’s First Digital Sovereignty Index
Linuxiac · Finland Tops Nextcloud’s First Digital Sovereignty IndexNextcloud’s Digital Sovereignty Index ranks countries by self-hosted tech use, with Finland, Germany, and the Netherlands leading the way in digital independence.

I am a bit like these "extreme centrists" who ask you to disavow any controversial groups before you can talk about human rights.

For me, it is computers.

Before I allow you to do tech support in my presence, i want you to inform your customer or friend about the healthy alternatives to the disgusting fascist shit you are doing support for at the moment.

You now have to say #linux three times before you begin a sentence explaining #windows. #Nextcloud before #googlecloud etc.

You're welcome!

Finde irgendwie keine Alternative zu #OneNote die den Anforderungen genügt: Organisation in Notizbücher, die man zur gemeinsamen Bearbeitung teilen kann, Zugriff via Webinterface und Desktopclient, optional Android App.
#Nextcloud Notes hat keinen Desktopclient und teilen ist sehr umständlich (Order Freigabe und umkopieren), #Joplin geht (noch) nicht via web und teilen nur via Joplin Cloud. mhmpf. Was hab ich übersehen? Das kann doch nicht so schwer sein 🙈

#nextcloud made it possible for me to (self-)host my (and my family's) phone calendars, contacts, and even when pictures are taken, they get uploaded to our Nextcloud instance, and NOT to google/apple.

10/10, would recommend for any household looking to #degoogle.

Others include #searxng, has literally replaced all monolithic search engines, works great, no ads or AI

#mastodon, for my #activitypub based social network

#matrix for chatting with my social network

and also #KDE.

Basically, a love letter to #FOSS and the #Fediverse… with room for improvement (especially on the hardware front)

Elaborate editing tip for dyslexic writers:

Use locally run TTS to create audio versions of your writing, add it to Nextcloud's music app, and stream it on mobile using play:Sub. This way, you can read along while editing but also just for fun. It's a lot less ridiculously limited than Speechify. Which really doesn't cater to anyone who likes to read, despite the disability.

PS: No, I don't know the meaning of the word procrastination.

I just had the need to be able to allow addresses in my nextcloud addressbook to bypass spamassassin, but could not find a ready way to do it.
So I made a very small shellscript to do that.

This is annoying, because, for some old photos, I've may have lost the GPS Coordinates of it...
(Because, yeah, you trust #Nextcloud and need to free up some space on your phone)

Also it created lots of duplicates in #Immich (ie: Same photo, name, size... just different meta-data) Because the photos were automatically uploaded from the phone with GPS meta-data (by immich app), and I did manually uploaded from Nextcloud once

#Google #Android break stuff in your back, episode 43343453

Just realized that, some of my (old) photos auto-uploaded with #Nextcloud Android APP don't have all EXIF meta-data. Most notably, the GPS coordinates are missing.

(After discovering few weeks ago that the auto-upload was broken)

Seems related to
github.com/nextcloud/android/i

Steps to reproduce Take a picture with a camera app which writes also GPS data into the picture Ensure GPS data is written into the picture with different apps like file browser or gallery app Uplo...

As someone who is every day in multiple video conferences I'm always surprised that hardly any tool is able to create user friendly invitations. Most of the time I get a wall of text in the meeting description, often with multiple links, and than I have to search for the right link to join the meeting.

The link to the meeting belongs to the "location" field! The description is for additional information such as the meeting agenda.

This is one of many reasons why I appreciate invitations via Nextcloud Talk so much. It is one of the few tools that does this correctly.

I successfully got nextcloud and postfixadmin running on nginx. This mean I can move my mastodon instance over to the same server that runs nextcloud. That will save me at least $50/month.

I have until the end of the month to make the switch. The good news is that I've migrated the server once before, so I'm confident it will work.

Proud of my daughter: "Where's a good place I can upload photos from my various projects where I know they're safe and I can't get locked out or lose access?". This is a 20-year old iPhone user brought up on Google Classroom/Drive, etc. So I run my own servers across various datacentres, do I go for #NextCloud, a #PixelFed instance or just scare her with a place she can scp to?

All right, the Nextcloud update was working well for several days, so I took a snapshot and installed sury repository, got php8.1 and continued upgrading... then installed php8.2 and finished upgrading all the way to the current Nextcloud 31 and everything is still working. I will run it for a few days and take another snapshot as a known-good state. I love it when technology works.
