jrollans.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
If you use #Google Drive desktop, starting in July, it's been moving files to trash in the cloud.
#Nextcloud or bust, baby!
From Google:
"What happened
Due to a recent technical issue active from approximately July 16, 2026 until August 17, 2026, Drive for desktop may have incorrectly moved some files on the cloud to Drive Trash.
If you were impacted, please be assured that this issue did not impact files on your local computer. Any impacted file you previously saved locally remains on your local computer.
How this was fixed it
We fixed the technical issue on the same day it was discovered.
We restored the affected files for any users who were active on Drive for Desktop and ensured that files would automatically restore for any inactive users once they ran the app again.
What to do
To ensure your files are properly synced and to retain secondary data, please take the following steps as soon as possible:
Wait to Empty your Drive Trash: Emptying your trash before running Drive for desktop could cause files to become unrecoverable.
Run the Drive for desktop application: Ensure you run (or keep running) the Drive for desktop client, as soon as possible. The application will automatically find impacted files and reupload them to the cloud. Please note that these reuploaded files will be assigned new URLs.
Inspect your Drive Trash: While running the app will automatically restore affected files, secondary data such as sharing permissions, approvals, and document comments may be missing. If you’d like to recover this data, you should manually restore the affected files directly from your Drive Trash as a copy by December 20, 2026. If your Drive Trash does not contain unexpected items, you’re likely unimpacted."
I visited the @nextcloud Developer Conference 2026 in Berlin today 🔥 Lots of cool stuff happening, and I got to hang out with @jospoortvliet and @fabricemous 🔥
It's wise to create a disk image of your Nextcloud server periodically, but even better to see if you can actually restore your server from a saved image.

In these-a-days of eh aye bots and vibe hacking and whatnot that all the kids are gettin' up to, are there extra recommendations for hardening security on a #Nextcloud AIO installation on my home network, accessible by me from the outside?
I'm not a dev or sysadmin, but I can (slowly) work through guides, tutorials, etc. I've run Nextcloud for a few years from shared hosting (which is a pain in my whole entire bottom), so I know more or less how that process goes.
How European Schools and Universities Are Replacing Google Workspace with Nextcloud

Found this a bit late, but a 2026 article.
Ya know, I really really like #nextcloud, but I wonder if not offering email is stopping them from getting really wide adoption.
