Gibt es wirklich keine Möglichkeit, bei der #Telekom die passwortlose Anmeldung am #SIP Server zu deaktivieren? 🤔 #VoIP

Happy Birthday, The Document Foundation, the nonprofit home of #LibreOffice. 14 years ago, the entity was incorporated in Berlin. It provides a safe, stable, enduring and independent home to the leading free office suite and all the fantastic people contributing to it.

Seit einigen Tagen scheint das Peering eines großen deutschen Providers zu einem großen CDN-Anbieter richtig grottig geworden zu sein. 🙄

[VOTE] Revoke votes related to LibreOffice Online atticiziation and freezing of repository Dear Community, FOSDEM has been yet another venue where people have asked either the availability of an online version of LibreOffice or, for those that were aware of the existence, about the status/...

TDF's board revoked votes related to #LibreOffice Online atticiziation and freezing of repository. This is a very important step forward: community.documentfoundation.org/t/vote-revok...

DHL Express stellt hier regelmäßig Sendungen an eine Packstation oder Postfiliale in einen völlig anderen, mehrere Kilometer entfernten Stadtteil zu, obwohl es auf dem Weg von der ursprünglichen Packstation mehrere Optionen gibt. Was soll der Mist?

E-mails from big companies with a link „Want to escalate to my manager? Click here!“ What a horrible management style and distrust in employees. I wonder if anyone really thinks this is a sensible thing to do.

Congratulations to the TDF Board of Directors for putting in place the Community Bylaws. These are a very important milestone in our foundation's governance, ensuring stability, safety and independence at the home of #LibreOffice

Conference year is slowly starting. First destination early February: FOSDEM in Brussels where LibreOffice will have a booth, and lots of side events will take place. No speaking commitment for me, but I‘m working on some new talks and presentations for upcoming events.

That was once again a fantastic edition of #SFSCON. Definitely a worthwhile conference, extremely well organized, great talks and meeting old and new friends. See you again next year, and kudos to all the organizers!

Had AI agent pick up the phone at local store today. Drove me nuts, but with a combination of „escalation“, „talk to staff“, coughing & „urgent call back“ I could somehow evade that nonsense and talk to an actual human being. Maybe made life easier for the store, but not for me.

I don’t have Schadenfreude over the #AWS outage. Issues can happen and I feel with their admins. However, it shows us also how important it is to have the option to self-host services and not be forced to use a cloud. Choice matters, #digitalsovereignty matters.

I really love the versatility and flexibility of #MikroTik devices. Had a switch broken (external circumstances) at the office and could easily setup a wifi-to-ethernet bridge with an old wAP ac. Took just few minutes - kudos!

#digitaleSouveränität bedeutet für mich ganz persönlich auch, dass ich Dokumente, Rechnungen und Verträge auch per E-Mail erhalten kann und Support ebenfalls per E-Mail erreichbar ist. Die Nutzung von proprietären Apps, Messengern und Webportalen darf niemals verpflichtend sein.

Heading back from the #OpenSource Conference #Luxembourg. An excellent conference, extremely well organized, and several hundred attendees. Gave a presentation about #LibreOffice and had good conversations. Will definitely be a must for next year! Up next: #SFScon in November.
