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.
Lately I've been doing a lot in the Nextcloud web interface and the Android apps. Notes can be accessed in both the regular Nextcloud app as well as the dedicated Notes app.
Nextcloud has a Tasks app in the web interface, but that isn't part of the Android app.
But you can create checkbox-style to-do lists in regular notes.
And the Tasks part of Nextcloud is supposed to sync with other to-do apps. I haven't looked into this yet.
Overall, I have maybe 30 Flatpak apps that I'm looking at. It's a surprisingly crowded space.
Been a productive night, got #borgbackup backing up my #nextcloud and #immich over #tailscale and hopefully my #cachyos laptop too, scheduled backups setup with notifications to #discord
welp
Tried to release my #Nextcloud app just now but it turns out I'm using too permissive licenses which isn't allowed :P

Forget trad wives, the new influencer trend should be #NerdWives.
"Hey honey, I turned our old computer into a server so I could set up a #fediverse instance for our child and her friends."
"Hey all, today I am showing you #NextCloud as an alternative to #Dropbox and #GoogleDrive."
"Get ready with me! Today I am showing you how I check in with my friends with off-grid mesh radio first thing in the morning."
How awesome would this be? I mean, finally a trend where people LEARN SOMETHING and are more empowered as a result.
(Forever grateful to my Fedi friends for all the inspiration and encouragement in trying new tools) ❤️
Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive are convenient services that millions use daily. But behind that convenience lies a cost that few acknowledge: your files are stored on servers owned by corporations that have full access to your data. They analyze your documents, your photos, your spreadsheets—for product improvement, targeted advertising, or simply because they can.
If you store sensitive information—business correspondence, medical records, legal documents, financial statements—the risk is even greater. Google can freeze your account at any moment, and with it, access to everything stored there. This has already happened to thousands of users worldwide.
Nextcloud is the answer. It is open-source software for building your own cloud server on your own hardware. Your files on your hardware, under your control, without any third parties.
Nextcloud has evolved far beyond simple file storage:
File sync across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android with versioning and sharing
Online document editing through Collabora or OnlyOffice
Calendar and contacts via CalDAV/CardDAV
Video conferencing and chat
Photo backup with face and object recognition
Email client, notes, kanban boards, forms, and hundreds more apps through the app store
Hardware requirements are surprisingly modest. For 1-5 users, a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB RAM and an SSD works perfectly. An old laptop from 2015 or later is another excellent option. A VPS for a few dollars per month is ideal for those who prefer not to keep hardware at home.
Installation via Docker Compose or Nextcloud AIO takes 15-30 minutes. Desktop and mobile clients provide automatic sync like Dropbox. Calendar and contacts sync without Google or Apple.
Self-hosted means self-responsibility: strong passwords, two-factor authentication, SSL certificates, regular updates, backups, and firewall configuration. But the reward is priceless: certainty that your data is truly yours.
Nextcloud in 2026 is mature, stable, and feature-rich. It does not fall short of Google Drive in functionality. In privacy and control, it surpasses it by orders of magnitude.
Start with Nextcloud AIO on an inexpensive VPS. In one or two hours, you will have a fully functional cloud storage system open only to you. This is one of the most important steps toward digital independence.

Spannend. Ich hab #OpenClaw mal auf mein Projektmanagement (derzeit #Apple #Erinnerungen), die aber meine #nextcloud Aufgaben verwalten, geschmissen - mit allen Rechten 🥶. Das Ding managed Deadlines, erinnert an Fälligkeiten und erstellt Briefings und legt neue Aufgaben an. Meine Begeisterung wird etwas von Angst gedämpft, aber das ist schon irre. Zusätzlich hat es auch Zugriff auf meinen Kalender, was mich als #Produktivität -sfreak wirklich weiterbringt.
Was machst ihr so mit #openclaw ?
I have a free-for-180-days account at https://thegood.cloud.
@mekeor BITTE bloß keine #Microsoft Produkte nutzen! Mit #Nextcloud geht's auch: https://nextcloud.com/de/kollaborationsplattform/
Und für das lokale Office ist #LibreOffice ein guter Ersatz.
#Endof10 bietet gute Infos zur Nutzung des Rechners mit #Linux: https://endof10.org/de/
Wenn ich unter KDE "Kontact" wegen der Nextcloud Kalender & Kontakte installieren will, bekomme ich irgendwie sehr verwirrende Versionsangaben:
So bleiben die Fragen:
Wer lügt? Wer sagt die Unwahrheit? Und wer gibt gar keine Auskunft? ;)
Hat jemand eine Lösung?

Die zerbrechlichen Ketten der Bequemlichkeit
Ein Plädoyer für die digitale Emanzipation Europas
Wir haben unsere digitale Freiheit gegen Komfort eingetauscht. Microsoft, Amazon, Google und Meta bestimmen, wie wir kommunizieren, arbeiten und denken. Der CrowdStrike-Schock war kein Unglück, er war eine Ansage. Es ist Zeit, die Ketten zu sprengen. Ein Plädoyer für die digitale Emanzipation Europas. [Mehr lesen...]
