Turns out my current #foss calendar setup, consisting of #NextCloud Calendar, DAVx5 and Fossify Calendar is not reliable enough. Multiple appointments have just gone missing after a while, seemingly random.
It shouldn't be too much too ask to have a FOSS calendar synched reliably between my phone and my laptop.

What's the real Google Calendar alternative? I'm more than willing to selfhost, but this is frustrating.


At #nextcloud we are looking for a new MacOS desktop team engineer for the files synchronization client.

I managed to migrate all my media administration to #Ubuntu :ubuntu: since 2021. Sadly, still using #Windows for work. Shout out to all those #foss developers, testers, communities and people taking time to write / record tutorials, how to's and trobleshooting content, my journey wouldn't be possible without you. 🐧


Yes, I received many good answers on from the #Nextcloud #community, and many more #opensource communities.

Most use the excellent #discourse software for their forums. Highly recommended!

I believe one can make a #PeerTube server part of another server's #federation. PeerTube's federation feature, enabled by the #ActivityPub, allowing instances to display videos from other servers alongside their own content, so by creating for example a video.itsfoss.com server, offering a central point for #FOSS videos, you could become a go to server for this kind of videos, while people remain independent and you likely keep your bandwidth acceptable.

Will FOSS drama ever cease?

Despite being advertised as a community-driven project, key decisions, including financial management, partnerships (with Kayak, for instance), and the inclusion of proprietary components in the code

As a result, many contributors teamed up and forked the project, establishing CoMaps

The End (of Windows 10) is nigh!

On 14 October, #Microsoft will end support for #Win10.

This will turn hundreds of millions of computers that cannot upgrade to #Win11 into security risks and #eWaste.

Yours may be one of them!

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

What. The. Fuck. Is this a fucking joke?

So you're now promoting tools that are causing serious damage to actually FOSS infrastructure, steal code from repos without respecting any license, and encourage the use of AI slop into code, which is making maintainers' life more difficult. Fucking hell, way to ruin a site's reputation in a single post.

Does make sense in a way... @brave is the only cross-platform #FOSS browser that comes with an #adblocker and non-Big Tech search engine out of the box. Defaults matter, @mozillaofficial : ) I still support the your good stuff, btw.

Hopefully, #Midori by @astian can be the second one especially as it's not based on Chromium.

Success! The #maclinuxbuild lives. I’m working out some kinks with the GPU but so far just the normal #linux things to work out. I decided to go with @ubuntu after testing a few different distros it had the best out of the box support.

Nextcloud, this is kind of assholey. No, I don't "value low cost over root access to the machine." I value my time and my data. I don't have the knowledge to manage security threats to my own machine (therefore pretty much all of my family's data), opened to the Big Wide Internet, and I enjoy the fact that the environment (e.g., SQL+nginx etc.) is set up and managed by my host, so I don't have to become a sysadmin to have a low-budget, self-hosted dropbox.

*Edit*: Nextcloud has been great and also a huge hassle. Upgrading is always (ALWAYS) a multi-hour or multi-day process for me, and there are constant headaches with little things that don't work (e.g., authentication with my mobile sync app, for some reason). I'm already considering paying #proton for some stuff, so I think in about February, if I can't get my major NC hassles fixed, I'll just ditch it once and for all and use Proton Drive, which seems secure and easy to use, even though it's not #FOSS. I really don't have time to go get a second degree in systems administration right now.

Remote work and study is an effective way to reduce the spread of contagious infections, but not everyone has access to reliable networks. We want to shine a spotlight on offline-first software which allows people to synchronize data when they're connected to the internet, and to continue interacting with it when they're not.

We're interested in hearing about applications that support intermittent connectivity. Tell us about your success stories with the use of such software, or the failure cases with online-only apps that motivated your interest.

Share the lessons learnt from development:

* how you handle or prevent conflicts when replicating data

* the UX impacts of eventually-consistent models

* approaches for debugging unexpected behaviour in distributed systems

Time for a memory upgrade on the #maclinuxbuild project. Per suggestion from @itsfoss I’m going to adding in 64GB of #ram Next up I’ll be eyeing a GPU for this. And which GPU really depends on what I’ll ultimately be using this for. More to come soon. #foss #floss #slowtech #opensource #oldtech #oldtechrescue #linux #kde #gnome #photo #photography


Going into 2025 on a #slowtech kick. Picked up a #macpro 5,1 from craiglist, ordered a 12 core #cpu tray w/ 32GB of #ram. Will share more upgrades as they come in. When it’s all installed, I’m planning on running some flavor of #linux on it as a personal #desktop. #photo #photography #tech #apple #foss #floss #opensource Next piece is a 2.5” SSD as the startup disk. Should I get more RAM? @itsfoss
