Hi. 👋

I am JayVii, a data enthusiast with a passion for Free and Open Source Software. I care about social inclusion & privacy. This is my personal Fediverse server, powered by ktistec. I modified its appearance with my own adjustments.

I typically remove shared posts after ca. 3–6 months. I do keep most of my own posts (for now).

I post about a variety of topics, both in German and English, such as:

#Debian / #Linux
#FOSS / #OpenSource
#vegan #Food
#ktistec
#webdev, particularly #CSS and #PHP
sometimes posts & shares about German and EU politics (#DEpol, #EUpol)

I also developed a few tiny & simple self-hostable tools to ease my life (and that of others), such as:

You can find out more about myself on my website or in my introduction post.

My never ending quest to redefine my news reading habits have fallen back to old school newspaper reading, but with a twist!

Using a pretty cool RSS aggregator that writes into templates of arbitrary formats in combination with some RegEx foo and a full-page scraper, I am now able to read "newspaper" every morning either on the phone, PC or ebook reader and be done with it for the rest of the day.

I realised that I fall into the habit of checking news constantly, even when using classic RSS readers for it. During my test-flights in the past week, this hacky project appears to work-for-me(TM)

Gleichzeitig werden Rufe nach einem kostenlosen OpenDesk für Universitäten laut.

Mein Vorschlag: Wir nehmen digitale Souveränität ernst – nicht nur reden, sondern handeln! Wir erarbeiten einen Plan, wie wir die öffentliche Verwaltung in den nächsten Jahren auf Freie Software umstellen können, und schnüren ein Paket von 481 Mio. Euro pro Jahr, die dann in die deutsche/europäische Open-Source-Wirtschaft fließen. Ich bin mir sicher, da kann man dann auch die Universitäten mit reinpacken... Problem gelöst... Deal? 🤔💡

Schleswig-Holstein macht es vor und kann dem Bund bestimmt den einen oder anderen Tipp geben.

The European Commission told TikTok to “change several key features, including disabling infinite scrolling, setting strict screen time breaks and changing its recommender systems. The demand follows the Commission's declaration that TikTok’s design is addictive to users.”

Now do the same for the US services!

Saarland plant keine umfassende Umstellung auf Open-Source-Software

Schade! was wurde denn aus "Großes entsteht im Kleinen"? Schleswig-Holstein ist da einiges voraus...

Sarkastischer Kommentar zur Teilzeitdebatte der Union

Bzgl des fast schon menschenfeindlichen & realitätsfernen Vorstoß der sog. Mittelstands- & Wirtschaftsunion zur Abschaffung des Rechts auf Teilzeit: dann aber wenigstens auch in beide Richtungen, da freut sich der akademische Mittelbau an deutschen Universitäten, wenn 50% & 65% Stellen zukünftig auf 100% augestockt werden müssten.

Because I have been reading discussions lately about blocking shared posts and sharing/boosting etiquettes in the fediverse, I turned off all shared/boosted posts from others today. Surprisingly, my timeline became a lot more interesting, and now I am doubting the sense of sharing posts and social media in general...
