Hi @nextcloud is there an easy way to get the internal private share link (one of the form `https://example.com/index.php/f/NNNNNN`) directly from the path of file (something like `/my/path/to/file`)?

For any file I am trying to produce a text with the path and the link, so that one can clic on the link or browse directly to a path (when synchronised to a local filesystem for instance).

another good option for all usage-related questions is our forum. We have a very active community, and our engineers are present there too.

do not put more meaning into icon than it worth. I'm good until it's recognizable and not vulgar.

Who needs more? Why?...



Mastodon, I need your help! As more European countries and orgs look to ditch US technology and move to sovereign or open source alternatives, I'm trying to track these efforts.

So far, I've found more than half a dozen government agencies, cities, orgs, that are embracing digital sovereignty but want to hear about other examples that I've missed. Who else should I be adding to this?

Here's a list of what I have so far:

UK told its Big Tech habit is now a national security risk

The warning comes from Open Rights Group, whose latest report, "Tech Giants and Giant Slayers," argues that the UK has let a small group of American megacorps entrench themselves across critical infrastructure, shaping not just systems but policy itself. The result is a mix of economic drag, security exposure, and a growing inability to act independently when it matters.

The risk shows up when politics is involved. The report points to US sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) for issuing arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, and claims Microsoft shut down email and banking-related services for affected individuals. The report says this shows how "tech powers of sanction" can cut off access entirely, and what that might look like if UK-US relations soured.

The Competition and Markets Authority says at least £500 million a year is being overspent on cloud services, and that's before you add in projects that overrun, suppliers that never quite leave, and systems everyone avoids touching.



Playnix launch their own Steam Machine-like Linux gaming console gamingonlinux.com/2026/04/play…

#Playnix #Linux #PCGaming #SteamMachine

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I'd go for the Steam Machine personally (I just love Valve) but I like the fact that Steam Machines are designed to allow competition, just as the Steam Deck was. Valve understands basic economics and the fact that healthy competition drives down prices and improves the experience for consumers.

I finished the Oberbank Linz Marathon last weekend, crushing my time goal and my personal best.

See my new video explaining my feuling and pacing strategies: youtu.be/Lih3NUzGEeg

It all went according to the plan despite all the setbacks in this training block and my Achilles injury.

Amazing. Congratulations!!

I sometimes manage to run at a 4'41" pace for one km. Doing it for 42.2 is wild. Well done.

Now, remember to get some rest and celebrate.

well, I've played that game a ton years ago, but with their pricey dlcs and pay to win measures, without any real upgrade to the game, or even a decent support for handheld devices can't make me mad about they finally put the nail in the coffin.

mozilla keeps pushing itself among big tech profit only companies. However, is not a big tech itself. I wonder how it keeps surviving.

it's getting harder. I looked in a local shop and spotted pretzel sticks. Can't remember who the manufacturer was but saw that palm oil was on the ingredients list! Too many items now contain this, simply because it's cheaper, yet they increase the prices. Nothing more than greed.

This is interesting. In my blogposts analyzing ATproto I had compared the shared heap vs message passing from a CS perspective

dustycloud.org/blog/how-decent…
dustycloud.org/blog/re-re-blue…

Ian Preston of Peergos did the actual formal mathematical proof of the incentive structure: peergos.net/secret/z59vuwzfFDp…

> It is interesting that this is independent of N. Let's say you have 1000 servers, and 1000 followers per user. Then the shared heap model uses about the same network bandwidth. With a small number of servers SH can be better, with many servers AP is better.

> The conclusion is that the shared-heap model builds in a structural incentive to keep M small, and thus has a natural centralizing force. Conversely there is an incentive in AP to keep F small.

Ie, there is a mathematical incentive in ATproto to only have a few large players.
