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:

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.

As is often the case, @pluralistic is right: the corporate web is unbearable and RSS really is the only way to make news reading work.

Get an RSS reader and/or a read-it-later application. Make use of tools like morss and use aggressive adblock settings everywhere else.

Why is it, that every other #nextcloud update, i have to go through all apps/addons again because half of them were not enabled again after upgrading?

I wasn’t convinced Claude could really replace me until I watched it trigger fail2ban while configuring fail2ban and lock itself out, just like I would have. 🫡

Headlines like this remind me so much of crypto shit from a few years ago.

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.
