I sent my colleagues (volunteering) an email saying that my GMail account would explode next week. Unfortunately, I was forced to use GMail because of that job only.

I defiantly included this link:

Thank you, @Tutanota for the best text on the subject I could ever find in French! And for the mail account.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@pixelunion/116076701633853091

PixelUnion @pixelunion now provides a 1-click migration tool.

This European Google Photos alternative based on Immich sets the usability standard for alternatives to Big Tech platforms. Many want to migrate but don't know how to move their data. An easy import tool is the single most important thing people look for, a must have for alternative platforms.

With the release of this tool PixelUnion addressed 100% of my feedback and feature suggestions.

I have a new pen! Lamy Scala with 14k F nib. Designed & manufactured in Germany 😏🇪🇺.

I used to have one before with steel nib, but it was in my bag that got stolen last year. I'm missing it every time I'm writing. Extra salty that those thieves probably don't realise the value and likely threw it away 🥹.

The engraving is actually very neat, but the shineyness makes it hard to photograph.

Is there any sort of commonly used alternative to Google Maps reviews out there? I've written a lot of reviews over there (mainly cafes, campsites and bike shops) - I do want to leave them up because they're all places I want to support and bring business to, but is there anywhere better I could be copying them to?

Hi, I am Søren (the "ø" is pronounced like the "ea" in "Earth"), a guy from Denmark. I am trying out the #fediverse to see what it is all about and support it with a bit of content.

I post about #Lego and #EuropeanAlternatives (and #DanmarkSkifter in Danish), but as a person who goes through hobbies like people go through.. stuff they change often.. that is bound to change down the road. In tha last year I have been around sewing, macramé, 3d printing, and a few others.

EN: I'd love to be part of a Danish / European group doing cooperative self-hosting for key online stuff:

- email
- notes
- calendar

Optionally:

- document cloud with text editor / spreadsheet collaboration tools

- small public facing website space (to run a blog, share some html pages. I wouldn't even need PHP or something)

I clearly (https://mastodon.online/@Pepijn/115963117610569220) shouldn't be in charge of the technical stuff but am happy to participate otherwise.

Any suggestions?

Hallo Gemeinde,

ich möchte mich gern zunehmend von Google zurück ziehen, Stück für Stück. Ein Projekt soll dieses Jahr v.a. die Bilder/Foto Sammlung werden. Ich muss gestehen, dass es schon sehr komfortabel ist, dass ich die Bilder in der Cloud habe und von sämtlichen Endgeräten zugreifen kann, gleich wenn ich die Bilder gemacht habe.
Ähnliches macht ja @ente .

Wie habt ihr das gelöst? #nextcloud bei Cloud-Anbieter wäre auch was, habe aber gehört, dass das manchmal harkt und langsam ist. Eine Funktionserweiterung mit Kalender etc. wäre natürlich praktisch.

Was haltet ihr von @wetell mit ihrem #wetellhub , welches noch in
Crowdfunding ist? https://www.startnext.com/wetell-hub

As suggested by @daanrademaker, @petrescatraian, and @thomas I tryed out both @Zeitkapsel and @pixelunion as options for my photo backup.

Zeitkapsl looks and works good, but it lacks the ability to cast to my TV and is a bit too expensive for me.

Pixelunion is really good, have decent editing capabilities and I would happily recommend it to others, but the lack of a family plan makes it unsuitable for my needs.

So @jottacloud is still my top contender.
