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 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:

Twitter's new "For You" page is 1/3 tweets and retweets from your mutuals, 1/3 random tweets your mutuals have commented on and 1/3 just completely random tweets from accounts nobody you know is even following. It is astonishing to watch the downhill climb that platform is doing over the past few months.

How come that after all these decades, innovations and fancy solutions, the most accessible and most reliable way to do #backups is freaking zip/tar with low compression onto an external network drive... #linux

My #FP4 got updated to Android 12. Not sure I like the look of it. Also, I truly miss #phosh... Though I did hear that GNU/Linux is coming for the FP4, so we'll see ;)

Has anyone experience with #S3 object storage? IONOS has a relatively cheap offer and I am thinking about using it as my main file storage on my #VPS (mostly music). #selfhosted #opensource #linux

Did a puzzle with my partner over the weekend. Really nice thing to do with another person 🙂✌️

That was completely crazy. Amazing bands and a whopping 120 minute power performance by Architects 🤘
