We have recently received a trust score by 9.6 out of 10 from "European & Open Source Alternatives", a website that wants to help people find trustworthy alternatives to Big Tech.
With that stellar rating, we are currently the top-rated alternative in the Maps category, side-by-side with our friends from #OpenStreetMap ❤️
Check out how that score was calculated for us, and other map alternatives here: https://european-alternatives.cloud/en/browse?category=maps
In #Thunderbird, when you Search messages in your Inbox (Ctr-Shift-F, or Edit > Find > Search messages…), you can press the "Save as Search Folder" button.
This will create a subfolder in your Inbox that is dynamically populated with the search results, every time you open it. Opposed to filtering and moving messages, this doesn't move them to a different place, out of sight, out of mind.
Tip: Use the feature not just to find interesting things, but also to clean up your Inbox:
Create a "Delete after a few days" search folder, and specify search criteria that find periodical emails; "special offers" by suppliers; and in general anything that you would never want to catch up with, after a few days, because it has a short-lived "best before" date.
Regularly purge the search folder content, and enjoy a cleaner Inbox.
How reliable is #OpenStreetMap data for routing? 🚙
In our tests with @BKG, OSM always finds a route, but the reliability of the data comes down to three factors: data availability, currentness, and route centrality.
In our latest blog post, we take a closer look at routing distance and travel time estimations and explain what drives the differences between OSM and commercial alternatives like Google Maps, with the help of the ohsome dashboard:

In case you have lost overview how #OpenSource office suites are related, #Wikipedia has a family tree for all StarOffice-based successors.
#OnlyOffice and its fork #EuroOffice are missing here, because they're from a separate, TeamLab-based tree.
Today is #WorldBackupDay.
A while ago, we've blogged about a rather comprehensive approach to backups for your home office. Maybe you find parts of it useful:

We have removed #RSSGuard from our list of recommended software.
Its JavaScript article filters are the USP for RSS Guard, because they're so much more powerful than the filtering by search words or regular expressions available in other feed reader applications.
Migration from 4.8.6 to version 5 is only mostly seamless for local accounts. Still, you lose your assignments of article filters to the specific RSS feeds you want them applied to.
Users of Nextcloud News are losing their article filters, completely.
Some accounts on our forum were recently compromised due to password re-use and used to post malware.
Please review this list to see if you may have been affected, as well as our other changes in response to this.

In the last several weeks, we have identified several accounts on the official OBS Studio forums that had become compromised as part of a coordinated attack. The accounts that were targeted were owners of plugin resources that were updated with malicious versions, in an attempt to exploit users...
