Just tested this on an old CentOS 7.9 -> AlmaLinux 8.10 went really smooth. No real issues except some small ones that were easily resolvable. Can only recommend testing this out instead of doing a reinstall and migrate data. Lots of time to be saved.

Unhappy with the recently lost file upload feature in the Nextcloud app for Android? So are we. Let us explain. - Nextcloud Discover why Nextcloud file uploads for Android app are not working properly, and how Googleโ€™s app store rules are hurting Nextcloud users.

Sad reading when #Google decides to block a functionality in #Nextcloud that has existed since 2016 and calling it a security issue - nextcloud.com/blog/nextclo... - There has never been any security issue, this is just another attempt to block a competitor that support user privacy. Not a fan!

Personally i'm a big fan of dark mode and many others are to, but just as many prefer light themes - I'd rather let the browser decide if the user is already using a dark theme on their OS of choice, if that is an option.

I invested a lot of time and effort integrating #FreeBSD boot environments with @opnsense.org - a feature I felt was needed in a business setting.

Yesterday, that effort paid off - #OPNsense snapshots saved my ass during a routing upgrade.

Snapshots are awesome - available to all OPNsense users.
