Seems to be mostly vibe coded.

Oh I can assure you, millions people in the northern europe do exactly this ;)

EDIT: I guess it depends on your definition of "humid". But 90C and regular water infusions are pretty common sauna conditions.

There’s hundreds or thousands of people out there hosting Synapse for small groups and use cases. Ressource requirements for a couple of dozen or hundreds of people are pretty tame (mostly storage that grows fast). You can easily host Synapse on cheap VPS products for less than 5€/month. I’ve been doing this for multiple organizations and many years.

Not an alternative anymore. Vodafone started doing the same shit with their peering at the end of last year.

Doesn’t seem to work in regards to Deutsche Telekom so far.

There are no "Apps". It's not a universal App platform like Nextcloud. It's just file sharing (and optionally a Radicale calender server via Environment Variable but without UI). There's optional plugins to open vendor specific files right in the browser.

Take a look at OpenCloud. It's a Go-based rewrite of the former OwnCloud team.

It works very well, has polished UI and uses very little resources. It also does a lot less than Nextcloud.

Most of the OCIS team left to start OpenCloud, which is a OCIS fork. And it's hardware requirements are pretty tame. It's a very nice replacement for Nextcloud, if you don't need the Groupware features/Apps and are only looking for File sharing.

OCIS seems to have lost most of their team. They now work on a fork called OpenCloud. https://github.com/opencloud-eu

Actually, it's already been done by the former Nextcloud fork/predecessor. OwnCloud shared a big percentage of the Nextcloud codebase, but they decided to rewrite everything under the name OCIS (OwnCloud Infinite Scale) a couple of years ago. Recently, OwnCloud got acquired by Kiteworks and it seemed like they got in a fight with most of the staff. So big parts of the team left to start "OpenCloud", which is a fork of OCIS and is now a great competitor to Nextcloud. It's much more stable and uses less resources, but it also does a lot less than Nextcloud (namely only File sharing so far. No Apps, no Groupware.)

I found it confusing, too. In the detailed changelog it seems that some PRs for following remote users have been merged, but I assume it's not complete/usable, yet. So from what I understand, no new "usable" federation features made it to the v13 release. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.

Swiss/Danish/Finnish Mobile Payment alternatives like TWINT and MobilePay.

Also: physical lockers with PIN/Code instead of keys (in basically every country aside from Germany). It's just completely bonkers to me, that German train station lockers still use physical Keys EVERYWHERE.

I’ve been at HKUST in 2016, too. I must’ve been pretty close to that tent a couple of times. Very interesting read. I couldn’t have done it due to the crazy big spiders

Yes, n8n is not open source. It’s “source available”.

If you’re looking for an Open Source alternative, give Windmill a try.

I’ve been reading about RCS for maybe 10 years now, yet it’s not really available/usable for everyone? It feels like Vaporware at this point.

What software do you dream about, but can't/won't code yourself?

Switching from Google to Proton sounds like picking the lesser of two evils.

If you really want to “degoogle” you should probably go for self-hosting or getting a managed OSS product (e.g. managed Mailcow/Sogo Hosting). Otherwise you’re just switching from one crazy billionaire to another.
