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

The newest episode of @parismarx 's #TechWontSaveUs with @tante is brilliant. Besides a tl;dr summary of the #Wordpress issue as of late, this gives important insights on how we should organise #FOSS projects and the fact that a libre software licence alone is not enough https://techwontsave.us/episode/249_the_corruption_of_open_source_w_tante

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

@M0CUV to get back on topic: kudos for considering #FOSS software stacks. #Linux Mint is a great choice! Helix replaced neovim completely for me, but that probably comes down entirely to your workflow...

Na geht doch! Was #ARD und #ZDF hier hier für den #ÖRR beschreiben ist exakt die Grundforderung von #PublicMoneyPublicCode #PMPC

Schön zu sehen, dass die Kampagne immer mehr Früchte trägt. Freie, #Opensource Software #FOSS ist die Zukunft gemeinschaftlich bezahlter Software!
