Obligatory yearly toot about #FOSS so I can stay on #Fosstodon 🎉
I saw the other day that German state Schleswig-Holstein is going to switch to fully #FOSS. Which is great and hope it works out for them.
Having set up a fully (F)OSS (desktops, apps, servers, etc) IT env for a large non-profit, might I suggest proper enterprise support instead of a lone coffee-addicted sysadmin who tries to keep systems together with hopes, prayers and duct tape? 🥲
That is not to say that everything was bad. Users liked working with #LinuxMint (still my fav distro), #RocketChat and #NextCloud were popular as well. Zimbra as a mailserver was ok, there were a few complaints about the scheduling tool. #Jitsi worked well, at times. I'm trying to remember the other apps that we used.
We had in-house servers with I believe #Proxmox and #Ubuntu vm's on top, managed by #Ansible. That all worked really well. One or 2 Windows VM's for legacy apps.
If you're looking for an open-source community platform, don't look at Rocket.Chat. The company behind it is becoming worse and worse.
First they paywalled standard functionality, now they silently put people running "community edition" on "enterprise trial" hoping to catch people off-guard and scare them into paying up.
What kind of garbage business is this?
Si vous avez plus d’utilisateurs, vous passez directement en « période d’essai de 30 jours ».
C’est vraiment vilain comme procédé, c’est même pas une version majeure, si vous suivez automatiquement les mises à jour de la version 6, vous allez être impactés.
This new Slack redesign is great if you hate screen space, clarity, contrast, ease of use, information hierarchy, messages, channels, and communication
@marcoarment I particularly love how it enhances my freedom of choice as a user of proprietary software, none of this pesky unpolished UX I'd get with Open Source that I could customize
Can anyone recommend some good documentation on how to turn on and configure @matrix support in @RocketChat after upgrading a legacy instance to version 6.x?
