Just discovered Olio https://olioex.com/ Sounds like a really good community app. People can post wants or surplus items and other members can request or donate items. In this day and age it could help those struggling and also reduce waste #DoubleWin but it needs members to sign up. If you don't wish the paid option just click the X at that point #Olio#community

Until today, CiviHosting has specialized in https://civicrm.org/ (an open source CRM) and their team has been serving the CiviCRM community for over 10 years to very positive feedback. Now, CiviHosting has expanded their services to include specialized hosting for a few other packages as well. Nextcloud is their private cloud of choice, and we’re excited to welcome them onboard.
They offer shared hosting at a very fair price. For those with higher usage needs, they provide powerful VPS hosting and a high-end enterprise-level solution as well. Bulk discounts are available for larger clients or resellers, they offer a referral program, and of course, they install Nextcloud for you.
CiviHosting features servers in the US and Europe and services clients worldwide. As they put it:
Yes, we have clients from Alaska to Australia and the whole gamut of places in between and we have servers internationally to service them.
Service and Support
Users rate CiviHosting’s service and support as top, as many reviews show. They have been involved in supporting open source (CiviCRM, Drupal, WordPress, Linux…) for over 12 years and truly believe in open source, with their servers running only open source software.
Their “open” attitude extends to running their business as well, and they provide their clients will full freedom and full control over their data.
No web software on CiviHosting’s servers is ever locked down. We provide all clients with full access to their files and data, and each can generate and download an archive of all of their files and data at any time.
Security
With security a prime concern to Nextcloud and its users, CiviHosting offers a strong security record with zero compromises since they started hosting. This spotless security record is achieved by a combination of automated and human monitoring services and having their support team online, watching their systems, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. They even take pro-active measures to protect their clients’ security and privacy.
CiviHosting also partnered up with Let’s Encrypt https://letsencrypt.org/, a free, automated, and open certificate authority, to provide free SSL security to all of their clients. Integration is built into the CiviHosting Control Panel and so, at the click of a mouse, your site is protected by a Let’s Encrypt certificate.
We built our business on a few key principles, and one of them is security. We support a secure internet and have enabled all of our clients to have HTTPS security, at no cost, just by pressing a few buttons.
[I don't care much for the pop culture aspects, or about linguistics of the Klingon language, but this is very interesting to me from an anthropological point of view, because of the continued existence of Klingon a constructed language around the world]
