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.

#LibreOffice: What we're doing, where we're going, and how you can help - the presentation of my colleague Mike Saunders today at Grazer Linuxtage pretalx.linuxtage.at/glt26/talk/J...

LibreOffice: What we're doing, where we're going, and how you can help Grazer Linuxtage 2026

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!

Jemand meiner Follower zufällig Kontakte zur #Telekom? Die Frage, welche Gebiete hier in Kaufbeuren/Allgäu „ab 2027“ Glasfaser erhalten sollen, scheint ein gut gehütetes Geheimnis zu sein. Vielleicht kann mir hier ja jemand, bei Bedarf auch vertraulich, genauere Infos geben.

Happy Birthday, The Document Foundation, the nonprofit home of #LibreOffice. 14 years ago, the entity was incorporated in Berlin. It provides a safe, stable, enduring and independent home to the leading free office suite and all the fantastic people contributing to it.

DHL Express stellt hier regelmäßig Sendungen an eine Packstation oder Postfiliale in einen völlig anderen, mehrere Kilometer entfernten Stadtteil zu, obwohl es auf dem Weg von der ursprünglichen Packstation mehrere Optionen gibt. Was soll der Mist?
