Derzeit scheinen DE-Domains nicht zu funktionieren, es sieht nach Problemen am DNS bzw. mit DNSSEC aus. Namensauflösung klappt nicht, Cache hilft. DENIC-Statusseite spricht ebenfalls von Problemen. Andere TLDs nicht betroffen wie es scheint.

You surely know LibreOffice – the free and open source office suite and successor to OpenOffice(.org). But who's behind it, what are we working on, and how can everyone (yes, everyone!) help to make it even better? In this talk we'll give some updates on the suite and The Document Foundation – the non-profit behind it – and have time for some questions too!

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.
