@nuintari F-Droid has been great. After moving from #gmail to #mailbox_org I switched my mobile mail app to #K9 and have been using the #Fossify apps. While they may not have the most features, they are minimal and that's appreciated.
I still have some work to do in #deGoogling. #Nextcloud or another solution as well as finding a #googlevoice alternative.
#fdroid has been overall a positive experience. It reminds me of #googleplay from circa 2011.
This is unbelievable. So Europe is not even allowed to discuss how to be more independent from Big Tech? #Nextcloud
I think my dalliance with #android may be coming to an end. I bought this titan 2 phone backing a kickstarter. It has been very unreliable. Maybe it is android 15. Maybe it is my wacky settings (i try to log out of google and do as little with them as possible). I restrict or remove permissions on a lot of stuff. It could be instability in the maker's mods to android. I don't know. But i deal with crashes. A lot
The fact is that two email programs (Thunderbird and K-9) won't run. They literally crash when opened. ProtonVPN crashes as soon as i tap "sign in". I cant remember the last time i dealt with this on my #iPhone. With this android phone it's a daily thing. I used the built-in gmail app and even it crashes sometimes.
I still don't have all my #nextcloud services integrated. I have installed TWO helper apps already (DAVx and IMAP notes) to get contacts, calendars, and notes. I STILL don't have reminder lists working. All these things were effortless on IOS. On android it's not supported out of the boxand i have to search OME workaround.

Ich suche nach einer einfachen #USV für meinen #HomeServer. Sie soll das saubere Herunterfahren des System gewährleisten, aber nicht den fortdauernden Betrieb sichern. Irgendwelche Empfehlungen?
Self-Hosting Immich: Private Photo Cloud:

Looking for recommendations for an #ePaper display that can show a calendar fullscreen from #Nextcloud / #Caldav.
I'm looking for something #FOSS and #privacy friendly, even better if it's #OpenHardware.
I was looking at #TRMNL but vaugely remember hearing there was some shady stuff going on there.
Any ideas Fediverse?
We also host Nextcloud for one client and also another instance for ourselves. I use it most for calendaring.
From here on out, though, we are looking for a different solution for "cloud" type file storage: an alternative to Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive.
We are pretty confident we've found a good solution in OpenCloud, a fork of OwnCloud Infinite Scale. Need to do some more testing, though.
@matthew @surfhosting Oh my! Is this a Yoda kind of situation? "..no, there is another!" 😅 ..i thought #Nextcloud was the only fork of OwnCloud! ..fascinating! 🖖
Big #Nextcloud 32.0.1 update: or why i stopped worrying and love #ZFS snapshots! 🖖🥰👍
pic1: easily resolved by clicking the browser back button, and re-trying - seems to work for the 32.0.1 update as well
pic2: not sure what this is about - i still see my deleted files / new deletions still wörk
pic3: they're integrating #Docker apps - i'll leave it like that, for now
pic4: updates have failed often enough, i'm not tanking any chances - ZFS snapshots are thee way!
I've been keeping a #Zotero collection of these whenever I come across them. Here's what I have:
Austrian Ministry of Economy adopts #Nextcloud (this is the above-linked article)
If you have any more, please send em my way!
I‘m really curious what software/apps @nextcloud GmbH actually uses themselves for developing #Nextcloud.
In particular which Nextcloud apps are in use globally?
For example, assuming Files is used heavily would be an obvious thing.
But which other apps are actually used widely by themselves? #DogFooding
Lalalaaaa... Das Handy is im Sack, wieso weshalb warum, ich brech ins Essen!!! (Immerhin hat der autoupload vom #nextcloud funktioniert - nicht) maaaaaannnnn
I've come to the conclusion that, while I am still using #Windows 11 out of inertia, it's time to contemplate an exit plan towards #Linux . The switch won't be any time soon (I have too much other stuff on my plate for the foreseeable future), but I do want to avoid paying further license fees to #Microsoft .
Major areas of concern:
- My #Steam library. I am by no means a heavy gamer, but I want to check if the major games I enjoy are known to work on Linux.
- Migrating away from #GoogleDrive towards #NextCloud is going to be a major chore, but it's something I can start in advance.
- I am a very heavy user of Notepad++ for my #TeXLaTeX typesetting, so I need a replacement whose user experience comes close (and no, neither vim nor emacs count).
As for what distribution to choose... I dunno. Lots of people at my place of work use #Debian , so maybe that would be a good idea?

Ensimmäiset askeleet tänään otettu nextcloudin kanssa (pilviboksi). Yritän ymmärtää mitä ja kuinka hyvin voin korvata sillä mun gdrive-käytön osalta. Puoliso on myös käyttänyt proton driveä ja hänen käyttöskenaarionsa on hieman haastavampi (mutta onnistunee).
Käyttöliittymä on hieman "hajanaisempi" kuin mitä odotin mutta luulen että lähestyin sitä väärin. Ohjelman sijaan on kyseessä useamman ohjelman perheestä.

#askfedi Is there a fork of the #Nextcloud mobile app that doesn't require TLS? NGINX is the worst nightmare I ever touched on a computer and I might just throw my server out of the window if I ever try to use this cancer again but I would like the Nextcloud mobile app and can't find any better way to use local self signed certificates with my podman container setup :(
