I have little to comment on regarding the motivation for your post – I am not up to date with what’s happening in the EU – but, for an encrypted messaging-app alternative to Signal, I can recommend Matrix.

I have found that instances that do seem to modify the source code just use the existing “Code” link and simply point it to their own repo instead.

This is Techrights (But with Jews!) – a satire site based on Techrights (But with Jews!)

It looks like the site is satire. But, I’ll be honest, it initially had me fooled. How have we gotten to the point in society where one could come to the conclusion that it is perfectly possible for such an article to be unironically written?

I use Nextcloud’s Calendar to sync to other calendar apps over CalDAV.

occ files:scan --all (or something like that)

I have already done this, as was mentioned in the post.

I enabled that in /var/snap/nextcloud/current/nextcloud/config/config.php with 'filesystem_check_changes' => 1,, but it did not fix the issue. It did seem to remove one error that was popping up, but I am still getting a prompt stating that the file could not be created (which is strange because, when I did a file scan, it shows that they were created), and the files are still not displayed.

It should also be noted that I restart nextcloud after applying the changes with # snap restart nextcloud.

Tried this. Still nothing.

for example to 777 as a temporary solution

Just tried this, and still nothing.

# chmod -R 777 data-directory
