A better #Zabbix template for #Nextcloud

Today I had some fun with Zabbix and Nextcloud. This is a very efficient template that only does one request to the server for the monitoring data, populating well over 20 items, and contains a basic web scenario.

It has some graphs and a 3x2 screen but they probably need some styling love.

Enjoy at https://github.com/rseabra/zabbix-templates/tree/master/nextcloud

An improvement request to DNS Over HTTP resolvers: option to only resolve if all configured providers agree, and redirect to gateway address reporting error if they don't. This would be better, IMHO, so that one can use two different providers and not allow one of them to take control...

After three weeks of intense fighting against my kid's school, they finally got convinced that there is no need to impose a Google account for the kids to use Google Classroom for sharing documents and Google Meet for video conferencing, although they have only ceded to my son. A small and very modest #privacy win.

I don't think well of asking streaming platforms to not charge for their service, that's cutting their wrists open.

There's lots of content in the Internet Archive, take advantage of it vast public domain content, full of precious little treasures!

How to connect to a different Jitsi site

So you have now setup your own Jitsi site, or you want to connect to your friend's Jitsi site. How to do it?

#Jitsi

Setting up your own #Jitsi server is very cool and easy:

The authentication in this example is just barebones, but set it up against a decent domain (with LDAP for instance) and off you go with your own TOTALLY PRIVATE conference site!
