It's been two years since Apple dropped CalendarServer from macOS Server. I just noticed the repository has been archived last week.
It's odd to expect anything from Apple but they were actually behind a lot of DAV-related standards (WebDAV, CalDAV & CardDAV), so it's quite sad to see them go in this direction, sunsetting an open standard.

Mozilla does DNSCrypt but has no AAAA records, come on !

The server I'm reaching github-ic-336076-adm-b1.c.telia.net (seems to be in the Netherlands) does have an AAAA record though.

I missed that Palantir basically tried to say « it's a political issue with the tools we make, not our fault ». This is ridiculous.

I'm really enjoying contributing to #openstreetmap 😊
It would be so nice if contributing to everything was so simple !

What happens when you launch Google Chrome for the first time on a Windows 10 machine?

When I launched Google Chrome for the first time (and let it sit for a minute), 32 requests were made, and 7.26 MB of data downloaded.

Does anyone know if the href property of as:Hashtag is used in other cases than providing the link to the public page of the originating instance. I've noticed #Mastodon and #Friendica do that, but not #PeerTube.

Lol ownCloud users realizing sending calendar invitations emails on behalf of users without an appropriate SMTP server is a bad idea after all (I've said this more than 2 years ago, but they merged it anyway…).

J'apprends au détour d'un tweet que l'attribut ping sur les liens existe en HTML5 et que ça sert à faire du tracking à peu de frais.

So it seems I've finally finished my 2-year old PR to @nextcloud bringing the support for calendar reminders. Yay me !

Today I learned that if you use the CSS rule text-transform: uppercase, screen readers may interpret the text as capital letters, possibly screaming your text.
Therefore, use with caution. 😃

Of course a better solution would be to upload to #PeerTube, monitor #PeerTube's RSS feed, and use YouTube's API to upload the video from here (see https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/uploading_a_video for example)

Could be a quite handy solution for creators who don't want to login on both platforms to upload their content.
