Hi. 👋

I am JayVii, a data enthusiast with a passion for Free and Open Source Software. I am an environmentalist and 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:

Habe kürzlich bei #nd von dem "Linken Newsaggregator #Alerta" gelesen: https://www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1189724.linke-medien-app-linke-vielfalt-auf-dem-handy.html

Die Idee zur APP ist grundsätzlich cool, insbesondere da es linke, unabhängige Medien eine Plattform gibt. Das ganze scheint mehr oder minder auf #RSS Feeds zu basieren, also offene Schnittstellen nutzt und nicht Algorithmus getrieben ist. Die Auswahl linker Medien ist dabei ebenfalls recht umfassend! Ich habe sogar einige neue Blogs & Organisationen entdeckt.

Schade hingegen: die App ist voll von Tracking (u.a. Meta/Facebook & Google: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/de/reports/de.alerta_app.alerta/latest/

Eine IMO bessere Variante der App: ein handelsüblicher RSS Reader (für #Android z.B. Feeder), der dann selbst mit linken Medien gefüllt wird. Man kann sich hier durchaus von der Alerta-Liste inspirieren lassen, denn die Auswahl ist echt gut. Aber darüber hinaus kann man dann auch beliebig andere (auch englischsprachige News, die in Alberta fehlen) hinzufügen. Und das absolut Tracking- und Werbefrei.

Tonight, we had a #Saarland classic: Schaales (the term "Dibbelappes" is more common, but I prefer the former and where I am from, there is indeed a difference between both dishes). Here with leek, smoked tofu chunks and of course applesauce #vegan

A truly inspiring blog post on transparent, trustworthy and independent #tech for #Europe. Particular in times where the actions of US politics & tech billionairs and their slippery slope into a fascist oligarchy finally stir up perspectives in Europe:

Because I am making some use of #S3 #ObjectStorage for both file storage and smaller backups, I am looking for #FOSS #Android Apps that can not only sync/put files to S3, but also gather data from there.

Is there anything like that out there? On #FDroid I only found two apps that can put data on S3 in a backup-style fashion. But I have not found an application that can download from there.

Medien-Outlet schreibt in einem Artikel: "Im Podcast haben wir heute Person XYZ zum Interview", schreiben aber nicht, welchen ihrer 8(!) Podcasts sie meinen.

Keiner der 8 Podcasts listet die entsprechende Episode. Unauffindbar, außer über den Webplayer im Artikel, der ebenfalls nicht den Podcastnamen nennt...

Been to Alexander Kunz Theatre in Saarbrücken last night with my family. It has been super entertaining and the #vegan menu was of course really good! Here are some food-impressions:

Image description 2: Orecchiette Pasta with truffel sauce and a few leaves of spinach on top.
Image description 3: A plate filled with a small serving of three types of gnocchi and different vegetables with a creamy sauce.
