Just a little update on what is going on at #QOTO.
Our Administrator @freemo has been working hard for about a week to completely recode our server architecture and eventually move over existing services to the new format.
As some of you know we use enterprise level infrastructure. currently that means we use Docker containers in a cluster formation with redundant endpoints.
However, the current way this is done is as individually managed docker containers using some nifty container layer automation to automatically renew and obtain certificates as well as scale. However by doing it as individual containers makes administering the system more difficult and can lead to bugs in the infrastructure (though thankfully we haven't run into those). As such we are moving over to using docker-swarm to maintain the cluster which will automatically handle replication and restarting containers should they fail.
This will mean quicker turnaround when updating services, little to no down time due to redundancy, and faster response time due to multiple load balancers across different regions.
While there may be some short downtime once we finally move the services over long term this should be better for everyone. We will keep everyone updated as this progresses.
In the meantime @freemo will be open-sourcing the scripts he wrote to bring everything online and manage the system. If any developers are interested in getting a copy for their own purposes please feel free to reach out to him.

I'm watching The Social Dilemma, suggested to me by someone I follow here.
Well it was nothing surprising, I wouldn't spend 90 minutes again to see it, but I like to be reminded that I really love the whole #fediverse project ❤️
Anyone here has used team management software? I am working with other people and I feel we are wasting quite some time in decision making, task assigning and so on, as they are used to work in person but now team is all over Italy.
They are not IT people, they are biologists, naturalists, so I'm looking for friendly and easy solutions, even at the cost of flexibility.
Any input or opinion is appreciated!
#qotocloud the conflict with the Register app is now solved, new users can apply directly.
I also added the deck and circles apps to test how #nextcloud can work as a team management software (similar to trello or something)
Let me know what you think!
tonight I was feeling a bit blue, so I went out on my bicycle to do some #geocaching.
Now, when you go out to find caches, you basically need your mobile and a pen. 2 things. I managed to forget 50% of them.
No pen, no fun.
Then woah, I see a supermarket, still open! I get in and look for a pen. Nothing. I asked the workers there, who started laughing. I guess not many people look for pen late at night, so we laughed together!
They were out of pens, but we had a nice chat, and they gave me a beautiful pink pen for present. It's the personal pen of one of the workers.
It was a nice night.
I love humans when they are bros
Apple iCloud, Google Drive and Dropbox probed over ‘unfair’ T&Cs in Italy. So have you maybe recently migrated from any of these mentioned to Nextcloud? Any tips to share? https://tcrn.ch/337TWfh via @techcrunch
has anyone tested #nextcloud talk in videoconference with, say, 15 people? Maybe @khird ? How does it behave, compared to say skype or teams or jitsi (which is terrible IME with over 10 people)?
I'm reading that over 5 people it's not very efficient, but I'd like some opinion
Thanks!
Anyone knows how does #telegram protect self destructing media from screenshot? I turned off FLAG_SECURE with the edXposed module and I can screenshot private chats, but I still can't with ephemeral photos.
Any idea on how to proceed? I hate my devices to tell me what I can and can't do!
Today we are proud to announce our End-to-end encryption is production ready and more!
🔒End-to-end Encryption in our clients
💻Desktop client 3.0 with completely new interface
📞Android 3.13 with reworked UI
Following the direct discussion with @gregory and @freemo I enabled 2FA for every user of our #nextcloud instance. You can activate it in your personal settings.
Hurray for security!
Is anyone into #geocaching here? I thought it could be a fun idea, I'm just a bit turned off by the closed source app, and I'm still a bit looking around, any opinion is welcome =)
I am excited to add the Maps app to our #nextcloud instance, seems like a very interesting app!
Also, I added the Tasks app to sync with tasks app. you can find a great FOSS one on F-droid called, creatively, Task
Upgraded everything, and a reminder: as of now new users must sent a DM to get an account, as the register app is still not available for newer nextcloud version

I like my open-minded friends.
It make me laugh when they are ready to take a fight to defend the women's right to choose what to do with their bodies, or empathize with the difficulties of someone from a different ethnicity, but are ready to punch you in the fucking face for putting pineapple on a pizza
Reviewer 2: go fuck yourself! A recent article to test the wide belief that Reviewer #2 is a uniquely poor reviewer.
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ssqu.12824
Some nice highlights:
Reviewer #2 is not the problem. Reviewer #3 is. In fact, he is such a bad actor that he even gets the unwitting Reviewer #2 blamed for his bad behavior.
What is worse is that Reviewer 3 seems to be a crafty cretin
He or she is able to do this while Reviewer 2 takes the blame . This seems like it is the ultimate jerk move.
