I do a daily #Wordle challenge with one of my partners every day on discord. I just came up with a new "quantum" strategy to beat her today. Since she always starts with the same word, and you can see the "results" of each other's wordle, I can basically get that word guess for free.
But as soon as she realizes I'm using this strategy, she'll probably change that word 🤫
My company doesn't even use AWS directly but we're still affected due to Slack and other services being down.
Hej @wirsindverdi,
Last time I called, the support refused to speak English. With 1.9 million (paying?) members, statistically you should have a lot of foreign nationals as your members.
It would be more inclusive and better for representation if you could offer support in more languages. 🌎 🌍 🌏
I though these signs were pretty funny yesterday when taking a walk. Each little footpath bridge I passed had one on each side.
No worries though, I crossed without being harmed.
Minor but close to the final hurdle of de-googling myself and becoming more #selfhosted and reducing dependence on US-hosted services/companies.
🗓️ I moved my calendar away from Google Calendar to Nextcloud + Proton. I use both, because Nextcloud keeps my contacts and I prefer as the main "hub", while Proton I need to be able to accept appointment invitations via email.
Left to do:
📫 Clean up Gmail: move accounts away from using gmail where possible, maybe do one big bulk deletion of all emails. I never used this as my primary email, so shouldn't be too much of an issue.
🤖 Change away from google-enforced Android to a more privacy oriented alternative
Had some fun hacking with #networking / #linux today 
I was able to set up my laptop act as an access point and routing all clients over a VPN.
Our PS5 has been having network issues. The store often takes a long time to load, and online required or multiplayer games struggle to connect.
We think it might be related to our ISP, so I set this up to experiment if tunneling over a VPN could avoid any potential ISP-fuckery.
Happy to say the experiment worked and we get much better connectivity over my VPN-ed network 🎉
Next step will be to put this on a static device - i.e. router (or raspberry pi probably works fine too).
Been a while but I'm still making progress on becoming more #selfhosted
Over the weekend I continued my move away from Google. I accomplished the following things:
📊 I moved all my boring office documents away from Google Docs/Drive. Now they live on my local device and on my #nextcloud instance instead. Overall it actually makes my document management more lean since I now only need the open office formats and can keep them in a single place. Before I had a mix of local open office files and google docs.
📝 For basic note-taking, I also set up a synced folder for my markdown files. These I then have imported as a vault in Obsidian which I use on my phone.
✅ I also set up Nextcloud Deck and bought the app, neat tool for Kanban-like boards. This doesn't really replace anything I used before besides maybe Trello, but I think it will work well for the typical todo-list I keep scattered around.
Europe must be able to protect and defend itself.
We are determined to act swiftly and decisively:
🔸 This month, we'll present EU leaders with legal proposals to ensure Europe’s security.
🔸 On 19 March, we'll unveil a White Paper on the Future of European Defence, followed by simplification measures.
🔸 We'll work closely with Ukraine and the defence industry to meet Ukraine's military needs.
The urgency is real. So is our resolve.
Today's progress on my US #boycott and moving towards being more #selfhosted (or using EU alternatives).
Migrated my contacts and photos from Google to my self-hosted #nextcloud.
🖼️ The memories app for photos is super nice - better than Google Photos in fact. Had some minor issues with some files being tagged to the wrong date, and have this one file that somehow has become undeletable - but other than that it works well.
📔 It also felt good to clean up the contacts I had on Google after 10+ years of use, though I'm looking to find a replacement Contacts app for Android. Although I'll might also just wait and see if the other non-google roms have a good alternative for it when I get to that.
Still also need to remove the data from Google and generally clean it up, but it's working well overall.
👍 So far I mostly like Nextcloud. I could see a lot of smaller organisations have good use of it as an alternative to facebook/google. I could even see myself starting a small business to support them in setting it up.
