@Tutanota Back when I tried to choose a (paid) #Nextcloud service, I got completely lost. What I need is a few hundred GBs of cloud storage, for photos and videos mostly, and any other stuff (documents, owned music backup, etc.). But it's so hard to figure out which host to trust. Any tips? (Anyone is free to answer)
Hello Fedi friends,
I'm currently planning my written tutorial for #YunoHost - from the POV of a newbie.
The guide will have a simple but ambitious goal: to encourage non-technical people to try self-host their own #NextCloud instance... and show them that it's something accessible to all, thanks to the wonderful https://YunoHost.org
I have tried other similar tools and YunoHost IMHO is simply the best and most secure solution. I've been using it for 11 months now and I have ZERO complaints. It just works... and it's effortless.
I'm thinking of splitting my written tutorial in a 3-part series... because doing everything in one go for a non-technical person could be overwhelming.
Part 1: registering a domain name and signing up for a VPS*
* yes I know technically you could forgo a domain name but I think having one is more empowering long term... and I'd go the VPS route because it's the most headache-free for a newbie. I can do the whole thing in 12 minutes with a VPS... and experienced headaches with a Raspi. I think for a total newbie the VPS is the way to go... especially if we factor in security issues. The stakes are lower
Part 2: installing YunoHost and tweaking DNS settings (assigning domain for NextCloud and creating a subdomain for YunoHost admin stuff, etc.)
Part 3: installing NextCloud (which people voted for when I asked which app I should install in my tutorial) and seeing what it can do.
Thoughts?
Is a 3-part series overkill or ok? I'd like to encourage people to set aside 30 minutes a day for this, so that the whole thing is not too overwhelming.
Eager to hear what you think about this!

Heute früh einen kurzen beitrag im Radio über den #DigitalGipfel in Berlin gehört. Kein Wort über #OpenSource, #Linux, #Nextcloud, #OpenCloud, #OwnCloud oder irgend ein vergleichbares FLOSS Projekt, welches von staatlichen Akteuren europaweit schon erfolgreich eingesetzt wird. Dass der reine Hinweis auf europäische Firmen nichts mit Souverenität der Nutzer, Kunden, etc zu tun hat, sieht man ja ganz gut an Doctolib.

Grünes Licht für Microsoft 365 in Hessens Verwaltung
Microsoft 365 kann laut hessischem Datenschutzbeauftragten datenschutzkonform eingesetzt werden – unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen.
Und wenn die amerikanische Regierung den Befehl ausgibt, den Hahn nach Europa zuzudrehen, stehen die ganzen Verwaltungen, die Produkte der großen Tech-Firmen einsetzen, dumm da.
Battery-efficient push notifications on a #degoogled #Android device? Yes please, thanks to @unifiedpush!
Varying degrees of #selfhosting available (e.g. with a simple @nextcloud add-on and #NextPush app) or ntfy
Or you can use the free #Sunup app from the @fdroidorg store to out-of-the-box to make use of @mozilla push infrastructure. Neat! 📸

Speaking of which: The cool folks of @davx5app added (experimental) #WebDAV- #Push support a while ago!
What does that mean? This is for people who use #DAVx5app to sync calendar, contacts or to-dos from their @nextcloud to their #Android smartphone.
Now, when you add an event to your calendar in #nextcloud, it pops up nearly instantly in your #Android calendar. How cool is that?
Just a few simple steps to follow:

a part #owncloud et #nextcloud, il y a d'autre solution simple et efficace en auto-hébergé ?
In the meantime until I find out why Evolution keeps eating my TODOs, here's an SQL query to get the names of all the tasks (seemingly still hanging out in the database?) https://bin.autonomic.zone/?363c249c6b8f3f15#kFZH6gYgtzAqrx7a5GHwTyi2YmS77A4dUdGTbtbVWhH
Big thanks to the amazing Nextcloud community! There’s now a Thunderbird extension that lets you create and attach a Talk room right when scheduling a meeting in your calendar. 🚀
I've been waiting for this feature for years!
Hier ging vor kurzem ein Tröt rum zum Thema #Cloudspeicher. Es wurde eine #Genossenschaft empfohlen, die Cloudspeicher anbietet und befindet man Mitglied werden kann.
Ich finde das leider nicht mehr. Könnt ihr mir helfen?
EDIT: Die Antwort lautet @hostsharing
Why Nextcloud feels slow to use
｢ On a clean page load, you will be downloading about 15-20 MB of Javascript, which does compress down to about 4-5 MB in transit, but that is still a huge amount of Javascript. For context, I consider 1 MB of Javascript to be on the heavy side for a web page/app ｣
You may think a digital world where we’re no longer dependent on Big Tech is unrealistic… but you don’t have to reinforce the convenient narrative that there are no alternatives. You don’t have to be bold, but don’t discourage the leaders, pioneers, and decision-makers who do want to value things like autonomy and ownership of their data with unnecessary fear or a sense of smallness.

#collaboraoffice is excellent free alternative to Googles collaborative office technology, its based on Libre Office technology, #collabora is the largest contributor to #libreoffice and does a lot of other good for #freesoftware . You can install it super easy if you have a #nextcloud instance, or if you use a nice cloud host, or for no charge if you want to learn some systems administration and use your own hardware.
Another reason to move away from bigtech. Nextcloud is a very good option! #google #bigtech #anticapitalism #nextcloud
