OXID and Google Fonts – DSGVO warning danger and solution!

For example, the OXID store uses the Raleway font from the Google Fonts catalog in the Flow template. This page is reloaded from the USA and the visitor's IP is transmitted to Google.

Now some warning letters are on the way regarding this and we have decided to host the corresponding font locally and make the changed location known to the store.

What to do now?

NextCloud bulletproof – Part 1

To increase the security of the NextCloud instance, we work on some points of the test website internet.nl and thus ensure a smooth and secured operation of our cloud.
What do we want to achieve?

A cloud that is as secure as possible on the internet, to keep our data safe and private.
This requires several steps.

Email security – New scam attempts

Recently, some security holes in the Exchange servers have been closed, but the fraud attempts continue.
Heise.de reports a fraud attempt in which previously stolen e-mail communication was used to initiate a payment by the recipient via a typo-squatting domain in which, for example, numbers are substituted for letters (he1se.de).

Old hat, actually:

Someone calls and says they are from Microsoft and would help you clean your PC. In reality, remote maintenance is set up, the criminal counterpart encrypts your PC and thus wants to extort a “ransom”.

NextCloud – Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

1.Preparations Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

You need an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a root/ vServer of your choice. I can recommend “Hetzner“. There you can order a v-server billed by the minute and try out your cloud directly.

If you use my affiliate link, Hetzner will give you 20 EUR to try it out.
