#academia working on 5 presentations at the same time (=5 lectures for next week) and with the greatest of horror, I discovered one of the them had about 30 slides permanently deleted. I keep moving blocks of slides from one day to another so probably yesterday I did a mess.
Last backup: before Xmas.
😱
Luckily: I put all this stuff directly in a local #Dropbox folder (Plus plan) so I just went in the web platform to check the history and restore the version pre-deletion
😮💨

It's been more than a year since #Debian #Linux deprecated the insecure #SHA1 hash algorithm in #APT repositories.
The #Keybase, #Slack, and #Dropbox repositories (I'm sure among others) are still using SHA1, and therefore for over a year they have not worked in Debian without changing the default APT policies to allow them.
I know Slack knows about this, because I told them. A year ago.
Why haven't they upgraded the security on their repository?
Seriously, wtf?

There's a growing movement on the #fedi that wants people to switch away from Big (US-based) Tech and towards #FOSS alternatives like #Linux, alternatives to #google, #Microsoft, #dropbox etc.
For #screenReader users, that might not be as simple as all that due to #accessibility reasons. This weekend's IC_Null stream aims to dig into this, but I need your help. What tools, services etc. should I look at from an #accessibility perspective? Anyone here who needs their tools evaluated? Anyone here who's curious about a particular tool or suite of tools? Let me know and I'll add it to the list. Anything goes. #selfHosting #blind #tech#EU
Does anyone use a good #dropbox alternative for cloud back up?
I've spent this morning going through https://openalternative.co/?alternative=dropbox and they're all not great.
Best options seem to be a paid Nextcloud host (e.g. I should go through the Nextcloud partners, https://nextcloud.com/partners/ , but they all seem to be aiming at businesses who need file-sharing, collaborative editing, and I just need backup)
I'm also trying @peergos but immediately encountered a bug, so I'm not optimistic currently
