"No news, no new tutorials!?" That's right!
We're working more behind the scenes at the moment and have been #cleaning up the #server a bit, mainly our Matrix instance.

After some ups and downs, we got rid of about 11 GB. Not a huge amount, but better than nothing.

Here's a short post mortem for the server outage on Friday and Saturday: A syntax error in a configuration file slipped onto our production web-server. At the same time the server responsible for assembling our website experienced download timeouts when fetching app-listing metadata, which made troubleshooting extra hard. We've added additional tests to catch this type of error before they get a chance to interrupt our services. We're also working on improving web-server architecture.
Fair competition is essential to a healthy business ecosystem, yet tech giants seem to believe they can work around it using their market dominance and various anti-competitive activities.

Didn't know that the #Arch #wiki is available as a package - arch-wiki-docs
No offense, but instead of using your script, I just bookmarked it. And search from there.

Data protection: Microsoft 365 banned in Baden-Württemberg’s schools!
