    The next release of @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz is coming with many API improvements for application developers. This introduces a new way to interact with the database using objects, public APIs to create commands and migrations and a few more conveniences. https://carlschwan.eu/2026/08/18/modern-stable-apis-for-your-nextcloud-application/ #php #openSource #nextcloud

    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 :) #photography #travel #soloTravel

    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! https://github.com/nextcloud-releases/user_saml/releases/tag/v8.1.0 #SAML

    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
