Saarland plant keine umfassende Umstellung auf Open-Source-Software

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

Dear #Mozilla, please seize the opportunity and go the other direction than #Google #Chrome. We need a truly open, #FOSS browser for and by the people, not corporations.

The last update to #VLC for #Android improved the app substantially. A lot quicker and without that awkward buffering when starting song from the local music library. Very pleasant! #FOSS #Fdroid

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.

It has been a while since I worked on #serci, but here is a new feature, I've been thinking about for a while but didn't have time to implement it until today: Extended options for search engines.

https://src.jayvii.de/pub/serci/commit/4a990c43d256913923eed1acc1c206e470b54df2.html

This is actually quite a small (but IMO useful) feature that let's serci parse additional text to the search engine, besides the search term. Or, as another way to think about it, it gives the user more options to tell serĉi your intent. Options are added to the keyword with the ":" separator.

Say, you want to search explicitly on the German version of Wikipedia. You can do that now with !wp:de

Or you want to translate from German to Italian with DeepL. Just use !deepl:de/it

I have been adding quite a few more search engines to #serci today, including #Fireball, #SearX/#SearXng, #eTools, #TigerCH, #WolframAlpha and #DBLP today.  All new additions are already live at https://search.jayvii.de.

With 64 search engines in the default configuration, I feel like the webfrontend has to present all the options in a better way. But I am really out of ideas on what that could look like... Suggestions are very welcome! #webdev #php #foss #search

#FediHelp does anyone know of a #FOSS android app or other type of service to check for unread mails in my inbox that honors a given time schedule (I.e. not on weekends, etc). Currently I am using #K9 / #Thunderbird for #Android, which unfortunately does not have that feature.

What is the state of #VLC on #Android (13)? Anyone else noticing substantial battery drain? #software #opensource #foss
