  • Usually, the company you bought the domain from sends a e-mail once a year to ask you to verify the WHOIS information is correct.

    It doesn’t go any further than that if your just hosting nextcloud, a DNS, a blog.

    If the website is used to break the law, then that email is contacted, if the email is non respondant, the email provider is asked for IP adress at the time of the last connection, if ISP: you get contacted, if VPN provider: IP at plan subscription or last connection etc. until they can reach an ISP. Then you get contacted.

    Paid builds. You get Access to the source code but you can either build yourself or pay a small amount to have a packaged built and updated whenever.

    I also like the twice a year nag screen thunderbird or Wikipedia uses (KDE was right to start doing it too, in my books).

    I don’t believe a small donate button in the “about” section of the settings screen is of any use.






  • True: self hosting is beneficial, Foss office suite is great to empower us, users… etc.

    The point of the software presented isn’t aimed at regular computer users that would enjoy a bit of independence, it looks more like something aimed at the enterprise administrative level that people may stumble upon while searching for a document (who needs versioning apart from filename extensions if you alone work on the documents).See it as: you may find , download and use updated packaged software on github but in reality it’s really a tool aimed at devs before being a software repository for end users.

    I see this as software mainly for the French or German state administration being made public for others to enrich, integrate… Like Olvid is a matrix based E2E encrypted, real authenticated identity based messenger made available to the public once the French government financed it’s development for it’s own use.
