It’s now possible to access files in S3 (or any compatible services) with Dolphin and other @kde@floss.social apps! We just released the first version of KIO S3, which bridges S3 with all KIO-powered apps.

Another successful week around the @kde@floss.social app ecosystem. With a first release of Glaxnimate as part of KDE, more improvements regarding Marknote and much more!

Part of the fun of planing a trip is to ensure #KDE Itinerary supports all the new exotic tickets from the trip. So after writing a few more custom extractors, here is the full journey:

#travel

Finished my first sub-2 half marathon in Riga 🤩

Now on the train back to Berlin. It was a great experience to solo travel to the Baltics by train, just to run an half marathon :)

As always, I posted some photos on my website: https://carlschwan.eu/photography/

PS: I managed to import 100% of my tickets for this trip on KDE Itinerary :)

RE: @kde@floss.social

So happy to see the @sovtechfund@mastodon.social invest in KDE's core infrastructure. This is huge!!!

I spent the evening sorting my photos from my latest trip in #Morocco (and a day trip to Copenhagen) and added some of them on my website :)

Participated to a portrait workshop with the isoclub Berlin on Saturday where we took portraits from each others and I am pretty happy with the results 😂

The buses in Morocco have USB-C!!!!

It has been a very productive evening cleaning up technical debt from #Nextcloud 🧹 And now time to sleep 💤

For whoever likes to authenticate to their #Nextcloud instance with some overengineered protocols, namely SAML. There is a new release of the user_saml app with some small bugfixes and better debug outputs when something goes wrong.

Cheers!

I should write a blog post about how to take a ferry to Morroco, that was an interesting experience 🫠 But I arrived safely now to my hostel

My roommate baked some amazing palestian Qatayef typical food during Ramadan🤩

Taking a high speed train in Spain feels like taking a plane :( It's the same annoying security check and boarding gate.

But anyway just boarded my train from Madrid to Sevilla

I will be giving a talk about building and scaling the European Cloud with @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz and @mariadb_org@fosstodon.org at MariaDB Day next Sunday at 17:20h in Brussels. If you want to attend, there is still time to register, it's free ;)

I get way to many of these notifications every day lately 🫠

Small new release of Kirigami Addons with aside of the new file and folder form delegate, only some minor bug fixes and minor API improvements https://carlschwan.eu/2025/07/06/kirigami-addons-1.9.0/

Slowly porting all our context menu in Kirigami apps to be more mobile friendly.

Don't worry on desktop platforms, the context menu stays the same :)
