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
@bitzero @jali thank you for the kind words and encouragement. Side note: my next longread for my blog will be a step-by-step guide about how to install #YunoHost and #NextCloud from the POV of a non-dev. I was soooo intimidated a year ago and didn't know where to even start... so sometimes the POV of people like me is important, with the ultimate message: "see, you can do it, it's not that hard" (thanks to fantastic tools like YunoHost).
But devs get all my admiration and praise!
Probably the first time since we switched to GitHub back in 2010.
@bagder That's very admirable. So many (big) Open Source projects just don't prioritize their "Issues" count/triage process (or think they don't have the resources) and it becomes an outdated and duplication-riddled hell. Looking at you, #Nextcloud.

En #Autriche, un ministère se débarrasse en grande partie de #Microsoft pour #Nextcloud - https://next.ink/206447/en-autriche-un-ministere-se-debarrasse-en-grande-partie-de-microsoft-pour-nextcloud/
> Le ministère fédéral autrichien de l’Économie, de l’Énergie et du Tourisme (BMWET) a migré une grande partie de son infrastructure sur Nextcloud pour gérer la collaboration interne et le stockage des données. Interrogé sur les raisons de cette transition, le ministère a notamment cité des craintes de conformité au #RGPD et à la directive NIS2.

A heartwarming story and a call to action for self-hosters and users of independent services:
I just had a very pleasing interaction with a customer support person (Eddie) who works at a website that provides a service nationally in the small country where I live. The localness of the site is the point.
The site has recently put in place account blocking for scammers who put URLs in PMs that aren't on an allow list. As a user of a self-hosted Nextcloud, my account got blocked without warning when I shared a URL in a DM.
I contacted support, and Eddie replied to tell me I'd been blocked because of the URL in the PM, and that he'd restored my access.
I thanked him and asked him to pass on a message to the site's product managers. Here it is verbatim:
I use your website because it's a local, independent website. I have largely rid myself of the giants of the web, like Microsoft, Facebook, Google and Amazon. (I won't elaborate here how problematic they are.) I want to see a decentralised web for the benefit of society - and that means using niche websites like yourselves, including self-hosted services. That means it's hard to build an "allow list" of (for example) permitted file or image hosting services, because instances like my Nextcloud server will automatically fall into the "suspicious" pile.
I appreciate the work your website do to block scammers. But let's try to build protections that avoid the unwanted side effect of pushing people away from independent services.
Within minutes, I got a reply to say my Nextcloud instance had been added to the allow list! Bravo Eddie!
There's so much to unpick here: Because the site isn't a giant monolith, Eddie has the autonomy to edit the allow list; he's motivated to do it because he recognises he and I have common cause; and I was polite in my interactions with him, so he was prepared to take the time to read and absorb the case I was making.
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?

"True digital sovereignty can only exist when you combine open source and open standards. Full stop."
The Netherlands is leading the way — from national IT policy to real-world adoption across ministries and municipalities. In this episode, we talk with Fabrice Mous from @nextcloud about how openness is reshaping government, collaboration, and trust.
Si quelqu'un de la communauté #Nextcloud a une idée, je cherche un moyen de :
* Partager un lien Caldav unique
* Qui regroupe plusieurs de mes calendriers Nextcloud
* Avec un calendrier en visibilité complète, et d'autres en visibilité dispo/pas dispo
* Pour être lu sur Outlook

Preisschock bei Microsoft 365 mit Copilot: Australische Behörde reicht Klage ein

Google Safe Browsing è una potenziale macchina dello sterminio per il web libero: da inizio mese ha segnalato come pericolosi i siti di Immich
All'inizio di ottobre tutti i siti web di immich
sono stati contrassegnati come pericolosi e agli utenti è stata mostrata la temuta pagina "schermata rossa della morte".*.immich.cloud
Sembra che Google Safe Browsing sia stato sviluppato senza considerare il software open source o self-hosted. Molti progetti popolari hanno riscontrato problemi simili, come:
- #Jellyfin: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/issues/4076
- #YunoHost: https://forum.yunohost.org/t/google-flags-my-sites-as-dangerous-deceptive-site-ahead/20361
