I wonder if I should give it a go, if POSSE ever stops serving my needs. Originally posted on seirdy.one: See Original (POSSE). #IndieWeb #Security #Web

I really enjoyed how they designed the contest and the incredible process used to virtually unroll the papyrus.

Vesuvius and the groundbreaking challenge to virtually unwrap and read them. '

Well, @bert_hubert did just that. And it sounds like you are listening to an old school modem. Creepy stuff! https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/tracker-beeper/
Apr 22, 2024, 9:52 PM by Scott Kingery 🚀via @sb Original Mastodon PostA few years ago I #degoogled my life by finding replacements for each and every one of the MANY google services and products I became reliant on over the years. I was spending around $30/m on their cloud products both for application development and personal use (Drive, Calendar, Mail etc.).In just a few weeks I transitioned to a #selfHosted #nextcloud and haven't looked back. It handles my files, calendars, email, documents, backups, contacts and more - more than google even. A built in #WebDAV server allows you to sync your note apps like #joplin and #obsidian.For #android users there's a wonderful app on #fdroid called #DAVx5 by @davx5@fosstodon.org, which allows you to auto sync your contacts & calendars. It works a treat. Really, this was just a long-winded way to give a shout-out to DavX5 for the great app! I only think about it when I change servers or phones, and that's a complement!
