I encourage you to export your data and migrate to a new server as soon as possible.

Thank you to everyone who trusted me as their admin. This was a difficult decision. I wish I could continue, but I can't.

This is sad, sad news!

Hello folks,
we develop small #OpenSource #Apps for #Android.

Our apps:
- #Weather: Weather app with data from OpenWeatherMap
- #LibreTranslator: Small translation app based on LibreTranslate

Both apps are available for download in #FDroid and the source code can be found on #Codeberg.

LibreTranslator: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.beowulf.libretranslater/

ufw (a firewall) uses rule numbers when you want to, say, delete a rule. Does it display the rule numbers when you list them with ufw status?

No, of course not, that would be too easy (you’d win the game right away, where’s the fun in that?)

So, instead you have to type ufw status numbered.

Remember kids, beautiful defaults are for newbs and losers. Real gamers play in hard mode.

*sigh*

Bund.de is the official German government portal for doing government-related paperwork online.

They have now created their own Mastodon instance at social.bund.de which contains some official accounts. You can find them on the instance's directory page:

➡️ https://social.bund.de/explore (in German)

This is a really promising sign! The Fediverse can allow citizens to interact with public officials without having to give away personal data.
