starting bombing those schizos.

For a nano-size municipality like Orlik (Okinsky, 671030), you can stand up a lean, sovereign “digital city hall” entirely with Free/Open‑Source Software (FOSS). Below is a practical, production‑proven menu plus a phased plan optimized for low budget, limited bandwidth, and multilingual (Russian/Soyot).

PHASED ROADMAP (WHAT TO DEPLOY FIRST)

1) Foundation (Month 0–1)

- Identity & access: Keycloak (SSO, 2FA) to unify logins across all services.

- Website/portal: Drupal or WordPress (multilingual, accessibility, forms).

- Files & teamwork: Nextcloud + OnlyOffice/Collabora (Docs, Drive, Calendar).

- Communication: Matrix (Element) or Mattermost for chat; Jitsi Meet for video.

- Email (optional self-host): Mailcow, Modoboa, or Mail-in-a-Box; otherwise use a reputable external provider.

- Security & networking: OPNsense/pfSense firewall; WireGuard VPN; Uptime Kuma + Netdata for monitoring; BorgBackup/Restic.

2) Citizen Services & Casework (Month 1–2)

- Forms & workflows:

- Simple: Nextcloud Forms.

- Advanced, legally structured: Docassemble (guided forms, PDF assembly).

- Helpdesk/ticketing: Zammad or GLPI (citizen requests, SLAs, knowledge base).

- Appointments/queues: Cal.com (FOSS) for booking; optional kiosk browser setup at the front desk.

- CRM for residents/beneficiaries: SuiteCRM or CiviCRM (cases, outreach, mailings).

3) Participation, Transparency & Open Data (Month 2–3)

- E‑participation: Decidim or CONSUL (consultations, proposals, participatory budgeting).

- Surveys & deliberation: LimeSurvey and Pol.is (idea clustering).

- Open Data: CKAN (datasets, budget files, geodata).

- Budget transparency: OpenSpending (publish and visualize budgets).

4) Spatial, Field, and Emergency Capabilities (Month 3+)

- GIS: PostGIS + GeoServer; web maps with Leaflet/MapLibre; QGIS desktop for staff.

A “NANOGOV” STARTER ARCHITECTURE (2 OPTIONS)

- Ultra‑Light (fits 1–2 small servers or VPS):

- Reverse proxy (Caddy/Nginx) + Keycloak

- Portal (Drupal/WordPress) + Nextcloud (+ OnlyOffice)

- Zammad (helpdesk) + LimeSurvey (surveys)

- Matrix (Dendrite for lightweight) + Jitsi

LOW CONNECTIVITY / OFFLINE-FIRST PRACTICES

- Prefer lightweight, cacheable frontends; enable HTTP/2/3 and compression.

- Use Dendrite (lightweight Matrix), k3s or Docker Compose over heavy K8s.

- Deploy local QGIS/Nextcloud clients to sync when online.

- Use ODK/Kobo for store‑and‑forward field data.

- Mirror key docs/datasets to static sites or IPFS gateway if helpful.

LANGUAGE & CULTURE (RUSSIAN + SOYOT)

- Choose a multilingual CMS theme; enforce i18n from day one.

- Maintain terminology in Weblate (collaborative translation).

- Use universal fonts (e.g., Noto) and set up Soyot keyboard layouts (Keyman).

- Capture cultural assets in Nextcloud and publish via the portal/Open Data.

SECURITY, PRIVACY, AND E‑SIGNATURES

- Identity: Keycloak with TOTP 2FA, role‑based access, per‑service SSO.

- Data protection: encrypted backups (Borg/Restic), disk encryption on servers, minimal data collection.

- Logs & auditing: centralize with Loki/Elastic‑Lite; restrict admin access via WireGuard jump host.

OPEN TRANSPARENCY KIT

- Budgets: publish CSV/JSON + visuals (OpenSpending or simple Metabase dashboards).

- Procurement: adopt Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS) exports; publish on CKAN.

- Datasets: geodata, demographics, service metrics; license under Open Data Commons or Creative Commons.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAYBOOK (90–120 DAYS)

1) Week 1–2: Requirements & Hosting

- Pick on‑prem (Proxmox) vs VPS; define languages, departments, and priority services.

- Create domain, DNS, TLS; set up firewall/VPN and backups.

- Deploy Keycloak, portal, Nextcloud (+OnlyOffice), Matrix/Jitsi, monitoring.

- Set up editorial workflow; publish initial content and service catalog.

3) Week 6–8: Citizen Services

- Launch Zammad helpdesk + email integration; add 10–20 top citizen forms (Nextcloud Forms/Docassemble).

- Enable booking (Cal.com) for in‑person days; publish SLAs and response times.

4) Week 9–10: Participation & Open Data

- Stand up Decidim/CONSUL; run first consultation (e.g., winter road priorities).

- Deploy CKAN; publish first 10 datasets (budget, assets map, schedules).

5) Week 11–16: GIS & Field + Training

- Enable PostGIS/GeoServer + simple Leaflet map; pilot ODK data collection.

- Staff training: 2–3 short workshops (portal editing, helpdesk, data entry, privacy).

LIGHTWEIGHT HARDWARE/OPS NOTES

- One modest server (or two VPS) can run the core stack with careful tuning and nightly backups.

- Prefer containers (Docker/Podman) + Compose for simplicity; document everything in a Git repo.

- Start with staging → production separation; use automated nightly offsite Borg backups.

HOW I CAN TAILOR THIS FOR ORLIK

- Prioritize a small “v1” bundle: Keycloak, Portal, Nextcloud, Zammad, Jitsi, LimeSurvey.

- Then add one of: Decidim (participation) or CKAN (open data), based on your top goal.

- Integrate GIS later for roads, land use, and emergency routes.

Questions to customize your plan

- Hosting: on‑prem in Orlik vs VPS/cloud? Any policy constraints?

- Connectivity: typical bandwidth/latency and power stability?

- Languages: confirm Russian + Soyot; any additional?

- Priorities: which 5–10 citizen services to digitize first?

- Staff: how many daily users/admins? Any Linux experience?

- Timeline: any public milestone you want to announce as “first in Soyot history”?

Jumblr? Okay

If you want, I can turn this into a concrete stack with deployment steps and a 12‑week Gantt, plus a minimal budget and

[plurallog]

Is there anywhere you can read about the start of development? When did the idea and coding start? It seems like the app just showed out of nowhere, and immediately went into the stores, which has been making people worry about the proceedings.

There’s nowhere formal to read about the start of development, though we could write about it?

Initially there was no intention to make a production quality app. Our lead dev was just working on it for fun, because Simply Plural was interesting and they like federated programs. They were originally largely focused on what types of analytics could be done with FHE and how the data could be visualized effectively (something that got moved to the back burner)

The first move towards a possible production build came with Simply Plural announcing they planned to shutdown. It was a convenient chance to offer an alternative, so we began actually polishing something for release. That was early March? Then Octocon announced they were also shutting down, and we rushed to get things into a production ready status, that was mid March.

First couple of builds were low polish, the store post was literally just some screenshots, and the site was slightly broken, so our main early goals were to polish it into a professional looking site like a corporation might have. Designed a better storefront in penpot, logo in Inkscape, fixed broken links, and added some early finders as internal testers. Our first production ready build was March 16, but it was not great and kind of thrown together. Recent builds are better, as they’re more general and have more community opinion behind them. This is also why there weren’t many features for people with huge systems, as it wasn’t originally a concern because the app wasn’t originally for the general population.

The app also wasn’t originally called Plural Log, but the original name idea was 1 already in use, and 2 didn’t sound as general.

It’s, difficult, to immediately go out into stores. There’s many stages to go through, and you need approval, so it’s usually a process that takes at least a week or two, if not months. Avoiding that is one of the reasons we published under a company that already has apps (though not necessarily public), as they have already done things like 12 weeks of supervised testing for new devs and don’t need to anymore (though they’re still reviewed, and still run internal tests). That is all to say, while we did pop up, we had no magic way to bypass standard procedures.

When you say worried about proceedings, we don’t know how to respond to that. If there’s concern we’re somehow related to Simply Plural or Octocon closing, we can confidently say that we’re not! We’re just some people making a thing! We didn’t expect to gain popularity or attention in general, let alone so fast, so we were actually expecting to have several weeks of dead time to polish features. If there’s concern about our commitment to feature releases, we’re unsure how to address that. We work when we have time to, and release when we have time to, and that’s about it. If we decide to completely drop the project, we’ve already discussed we’ll release the source. But if that’s not the case then we’ll work at a reasonable feeling pace. Beyond that we’re unsure what proceedings could be worrisome, as we don’t receive or process user data, nor do we require payment for services, and we are generally transparent on what we’re up to, so if there’s something more specific do mention it!

How a Modern IT Company Is Shaping the Future of Digital Business in 2026

In today’s fast-changing digital world, an IT company is no longer just a service provider. It has become a strategic partner that helps businesses grow, adapt, and stay competitive. As we move into 2026, the role of an IT company is expanding beyond development and support to innovation, automation, and experience-driven solutions.

Businesses now expect more than just technology they want smart solutions that solve real problems.

The Changing Role of an IT Company

Earlier, an IT company mainly focused on building software, websites, or managing infrastructure. Today, it plays a much bigger role. A modern IT company helps businesses with digital transformation, process automation, cloud solutions, cybersecurity, and user experience design.

Instead of asking “What technology do you need?”, IT companies now ask, “What business challenge are you trying to solve?”

Technology Trends Every IT Company Is Adopting in 2026

1. AI and Automation at the Core

Artificial Intelligence is no longer optional. Every growing IT company is integrating AI-driven solutions like chatbots, predictive analytics, and workflow automation. These tools help businesses save time, reduce costs, and improve decision-making.

2. Cloud-First Development

A modern IT company focuses on cloud-native applications. Cloud solutions provide flexibility, scalability, and better security. In 2026, most businesses prefer cloud-based systems over traditional setups.

3. Cybersecurity as a Priority

With rising cyber threats, an IT company must focus on data protection. Security-by-design, regular audits, and compliance are now essential services offered by trusted IT companies.

Why Businesses Choose the Right IT Company

Choosing the right IT company can make or break a digital project. Businesses today look for partners who understand their industry, users, and long-term goals.

A reliable IT company offers:

Clear communication

Scalable solutions

Transparent processes

Long-term technical support

More importantly, it focuses on results, not just deliverables.

User Experience Is Now Business-Critical

One major shift in 2026 is the focus on user experience. An IT company now works closely with UI/UX designers to ensure that digital products are easy to use, fast, and visually appealing.

Good user experience leads to higher engagement, better conversions, and stronger brand trust. This is why IT companies are investing heavily in design thinking and usability testing.

Custom Solutions Over One-Size-Fits-All

Every business is different, and a modern IT company understands this well. Instead of offering generic solutions, IT companies now build custom software, tailored platforms, and industry-specific tools.

This approach helps businesses scale faster and stay ahead of competitors.

Collaboration and Transparency Matter

In 2026, businesses want to be involved in the development process. A successful IT company follows agile methods, provides regular updates, and values client feedback. Transparency builds trust and leads to better outcomes.

The Future of an IT Company

The future IT company will be a blend of technology, strategy, and creativity. It will not only build products but also help businesses innovate continuously. Companies that partner with the right IT company will be better prepared for change, growth, and global competition.

An IT company in 2026 is more than a tech provider—it is a growth partner. By combining modern technology, user-focused design, and strategic thinking, IT companies are shaping the future of digital business.

For businesses looking to grow in a competitive market, choosing the right IT company is one of the most important decisions they can make.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence into digital marketing

In the early days of the internet, digital marketing was a game of broad strokes—sending the same email to thousands or displaying the same banner ad to every visitor. Today, that approach is obsolete. We have entered the era of "Hyper-Personalization," fueled almost entirely by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). FOR MORE INFORMATION MY WEBSITE:- https://deepakdigitalpro.com/

From predictive analytics to generative content, AI has shifted from a futuristic concept to the core engine of successful marketing strategies.

1. Data Analysis and Predictive Analytics

The most significant advantage of AI is its ability to process vast amounts of data in seconds—something human marketers would take weeks to accomplish.

Predicting Consumer Behavior: By analyzing past purchase history and browsing patterns, AI models can predict what a customer is likely to buy next. This allows brands to shift from reactive marketing to proactive engagement.

Churn Prediction: AI can identify patterns that suggest a customer is about to unsubscribe or stop buying, enabling businesses to intervene with a specialized offer or a "win-back" campaign before the customer is lost.

2. Hyper-Personalization and the Customer Experience

Modern consumers don’t just appreciate personalization; they expect it. AI makes it possible to tailor every touchpoint of the customer journey.

Recommendation Engines: Think of Netflix or Amazon. Their "Suggested for You" sections are powered by sophisticated AI algorithms. These engines increase conversion rates by showing users exactly what they are looking for, often before they even know they want it.

Dynamic Website Content: AI can change the layout or featured products on a website in real-time based on the visitor’s geographic location, past behavior, and referral source.

3. The Rise of AI-Powered Content Creation

Generative AI has democratized content creation. Tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and specialized SEO platforms are helping marketers produce high-quality assets faster than ever.

Copywriting and Blogging: AI helps in generating outlines, drafting social media captions, and even writing long-form blogs. However, the "human in the loop" remains vital to ensure brand voice and factual accuracy.

Visual Content: AI-generated imagery and video editing tools allow small businesses to create professional-grade visual assets without the need for massive production budgets.

Email Marketing: AI can optimize subject lines, determine the best time to send an email for each individual subscriber, and segment lists with pinpoint accuracy.

4. Revolutionizing Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

SEO is no longer just about keyword stuffing; it’s about user intent. Google’s own AI algorithms, such as RankBrain and SGE (Search Generative Experience), have forced marketers to change their approach.

Keyword Intelligence: AI tools can identify "low-hanging fruit" keywords and cluster topics together to build topical authority.

Voice Search Optimization: As more people use Alexa and Siri, AI helps marketers optimize content for natural language queries, which are typically longer and more conversational than typed searches.

5. Programmatic Advertising and Real-Time Bidding

In the past, buying ad space was a manual, slow process. AI has introduced Programmatic Advertising, which automates the buying and selling of ad inventory in real-time.

Targeting Efficiency: AI evaluates millions of data points to decide which ad to show to which user at what exact millisecond. This ensures that marketing budgets are spent on the most relevant audiences, significantly increasing Return on Ad Spend (ROAS).

Automated A/B Testing: AI can run hundreds of variations of an ad simultaneously, quickly identifying the winning combination of imagery and text.

6. 24/7 Support via Intelligent Chatbots

Customer service is a vital part of marketing. AI-powered chatbots have evolved from simple script-based bots to intelligent assistants capable of understanding context and sentiment.

Immediate Gratification: Consumers no longer want to wait for an email reply. AI bots provide instant answers to FAQs, track orders, and even assist in the checkout process.

Lead Qualification: Chatbots can ask qualifying questions to site visitors, passing only the high-value leads to human sales teams.

7. The Ethical Landscape and the Future of AI

As we lean more on AI, transparency and ethics become paramount. Marketers must balance efficiency with privacy.

Data Privacy: With the phasing out of third-party cookies, AI will be essential in modeling "cookieless" attribution, helping marketers understand the customer journey while respecting user privacy.

Authenticity: The challenge for the future is maintaining a "human touch." Brands that use AI to enhance—rather than replace—human creativity will be the ones that build the strongest emotional connections with their audience.

Conclusion: Embracing the AI-Driven Future

AI is not here to replace digital marketers; it is here to augment their capabilities. It removes the drudgery of data entry and basic analysis, freeing up creative professionals to focus on high-level strategy and storytelling.

For brands looking to grow in a competitive digital landscape, adopting AI is no longer optional—it is the prerequisite for staying relevant. By leveraging these tools, businesses can create smarter campaigns, foster deeper customer loyalty, and ultimately achieve a much higher level of performance.

Hello. You might have seen this floating around on twt:

link 1 // link 2, archive link

If by any chance you or someone you know are thinking about joining in on the challenge… no one can stop you but I implore you as someone who makes art, as someone with friends in an often-exploited creative industry, as someone who lives in late stage capitalism alongside you and has seen this play out before: proceed with caution.

Read the fine print on that form. There is NO guarantee of an internship, much less a job at the end of it. I haven't gone further than this form, but if anyone reading this does, and if there's no written agreement that your work won't be used without credit to you + payment for services rendered - RUN.

This is a common corporate tactic to get free labor out of people. I'm not saying this is necessarily what’s happening; for all we know this was done as a completely innocent move to drum up some fan engagement and as a genuine search for talent for their analytics team. WHO KNOWS. But I can't ignore that I’ve seen this situation play out again and again, at every scale.

Job interviews, when they ask you how YOU think they should improve their systems, how YOU would solve their problems? When they require that you do some problem-solving for them, and it goes beyond a simple task? That’s a free consultation you’re giving them, that's free work you or someone else should be getting paid for.

When big streamers/influencers ask their fans to join in on a fan art contest to choose their new pfp/banner? That’s hundreds, possibly thousands of pieces of free art they never would’ve gotten otherwise. They could've gone to the trouble of paying someone in-house to do it, hiring someone for that position, commissioning a professional for a piece. It's free work from their dedicated fans.

In this case, Utah HC is asking fans to not only choose/provide their own dataset, but to do a complex analysis on it AND do the work of visual and verbal communication to senior management, who likely do not have a deeper grasp of the concepts and will need it simplified. The stipulation that you will present your work could be ANYTHING!! The "five page deliverable" is already bananas to me, having dipped my toe into what analytics is and how complex the fun ones are. Condensing it all is WORK. The presentation portion may include speaking time and answering questions; the groundwork for doing this effectively may include producing data visualisations, making spreadsheets, time consuming write-ups. Maths and science communication is hard. It is WORK. They are asking for free labor.

Many have already called it out, but it's still gaining traction via retweets from big accounts uncritically sharing it. I found out through the official Puckpedia account. Jack Han called it out pretty eloquently on twitter and on his substack:

Many people aspire to work as an analyst in the NHL. Earlier today the Utah Hockey Club gave those people a glimmer of hope. Utah’s Summer Analytics Challenge is unusual in that it doesn’t provide a dataset or detailed instructions. The open-ended contests contrasts with other public (ex: Big Data Cup) or private (ex: NHL team interview) events. In those scenarios, participants are given proprietary data to clean, model and analyze, which influence direction and methodology. Meanwhile, Utah is seemingly happy with anything as long as the writeup is under five pages long. Utah’s contest also stands out in its near-total absence of legal fine print. There are no mention of intellectual property implications, which is perhaps fitting when the team is asking participants to bring their own data and analysis. [...] Open casting calls such as Utah’s analytics challenge start out as a lose-lose-lose proposition: > The employer loses because it will have to invest massive human resources to trawl/filter/evaluate/reverse-engineer the hundreds of write-ups it is sure to receive, with no guarantee that any of them will be of use > Applicants lose because the vast, vast majority of them will have nothing to show for their efforts, while a tiny minority risks having its IP stolen > Good ideas lose because they’ll be born into an environment where their parents (the applicant & the employer) have no defined relationship and won’t be in a position to grow together

Embedding Power BI in Your Website or App: A Step-by-Step Guide

In a world where managing different apps feels too chaotic, just envision if your customer gets a one-stop service to log into their business dashboard that contains tailored visuals, charts, and insights without switching here and there. Extra login, not needed. Redirection, not required. All of their requirements are baked together to experience the magic of one-stop solution. This magic can be created by embedding Power BI into websites and apps.

Now, comes the challenge. You must be thinking, this task will be filled of technical hassles and complexities. However, if you have got the right setup, there is no need to worry. Embedding Power BI into website and apps can be a game-changing enhancement for your product or service with the help of a smooth setup. Worried about being a non-technical professional? Just read through this guide, to understand how Power BI embedded analytics can unlock the full value of your business.

Integrating Insights: The Power of Embedded BI

Embedding Power BI can be like inviting it to reside into your own application instead of sending your users to visit a separate platform. Let’s see what are the two ways it can play out:

When everything is managed by the app itself. This works best when data is shared with external users like customers or partners. They don’t need Power BI accounts. The app handles all the access.                     

When the users already belong to an organization and have Power BI accounts. They get dashboards tailored just for them inside the tools they already use every day.

Why Embedding Power BI Matters

Let’s get to the real excitement of embedding. This is not only about making your dashboards visually appealing, in fact you actually put your dashboards on a really hard work to bring best insights to you.

Users stay focused. No more jumping between windows to pull reports. When the live data is at your fingertips, you are empowered to take best decisions for your business.  Embedding also helps to regulate that everyone just gets to see what they are supposed to see. Security is ensured with your locked tight data.

Dashboard blends really well with your app, matching the logo, color and branding of your product or service.

That’s how a white-label Power BI solution is hallmarked.  There are enough testimonials of businesses that show how embedding dashboards helps them. 

One product team shared how embedding dashboards helped their customer support team cut response times in half. Instead of juggling tools, agents had insights built into their workspace. Getting Set Up for Embedding Power BI Before you think to dive into this, keep few pieces in place: A Power BI license that fits the users. Pro works for smaller internal use.

Premium fits wider distribution. Azure Active Directory for managing logins and verifying identities. Reports already created in Power BI Desktop and published to the cloud. An app registered in Azure to handle secure logins and permissions. For large-scale apps, using a service account to handle access behind the scenes helps everything run smoother.

How the Embedding Power BI Process Works

You can start by choosing a setup that fits into your requirements, User-based for internal tools. App-based for customer-facing portals.

Your choice affects the verification of users and access management, After that, you can go ahead with building and publishing reports.

It should include:

Interactive visuals that make sense to end users

Filters and navigation to help people zero in on what matters

Data refresh settings to keep the information timely Now comes the technical preparation:

Register the app in Azure

Set up redirect links

Generate secret keys to handle permissions

After doing all these, it’s coding time. Secure tokens are helpful to restrict the users to only see what you want to allow them.

Your app talks to Power BI securely with the help of these tokens. At last, using JavaScript the front end pulls everything. 

The Power BI JavaScript API tutorial can guide developers step-by-step in connecting the visuals, handling load events, and creating seamless interactions.

Keeping Security Tight with Embedding Power BI
