Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash… and I'm delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever!

  • Tasks and Calendar and CalDAV... why not?

  • Thank you. This is the sort of thing I was looking for .

  • And your server/client combo probably require you to find some obscure forum post from 2009 and reading the man pages several times before you find that one specific fucking legacy parameter in some config file that has to be set.

  • Hmmm… I quickly emcountered guides for “workarounds” when DAV doesn’t work.

  • I have Nextcloud CalDAV working on iOS (the trick is to set up calendar and tasks separately). I can’t get Baikal Calendar to sync on ios.

    This is what I was trying to get at: setting up calendar and task SHOULD be straightfoward and work across devices and OSes. It’s not.

  • You are probably the exception rather than the rule. Nextcloud, in my experience, is the only one that seems to work fairly well. Just look at the Issues on Github for apps that try to use CalDAV.

    Jump

  • It’s more than the “proprietary apps”. It’s harder than it should be to simply sync calendar and tasks. The one that seems to work the most effectively is Nextcloud. By now there should be straightforward, easy to use (to host) solitions that just work.

  • Tasks and Calendar and CalDAV... why not?

    Jump

  • I have tried hard to get Baikal to work across devices and had to admit defeat (works on some, not on others). I am running CalDAV most successfully using Nextcloud.

  • What’s your set up with CalDav? What devices do you run it on?

    Thinking about switching to Linux; main concern is son's games

  • I was about to say this. Strange how you seem to be the only one (so far) to suggest this sensible solution.

  • Synology hurries out patches for zero-days exploited at Pwn2Own

  • I updated to 7.2.2 this morning and it prompted me to update Plex and then gave a message about what to do if Plex couldn't see my library. It seems to be ok.

  • What are your favorite FOSS to-do apps?

    Jump

  • Just looked at Sleek (which I hadn’t heard of before) and looks pretty good. Thanks. I’ve been using the Obsidian plugin which has been fine up until now.

  • How are you hosting your ebooks?

    Jump

  • I do the same thing. I’ve tried Kavita and Audiobookshelf and ended up just keeping the books on a network share and then accessing them through Calibre. I am sideloading to a Kindle though.

    The Star Trek Series Ranked by Fans

    Jump

  • Very interesting. I wonder to what extend fans’ ages alter the ratings?

    In Doctor Who fandom, whenever the question “Who is your favourite Doctor?” pops up, the majority tend to say the current one. It also seems to be that this is responded to by younger fans/audiences. I wonder if it’s the same with Trek. Because of my age, I’ll ALWAYS prefer classic DW to recent stuff. There’s an element of nostalgia.

    My first Trek was TOS and it’s what I think of AS Trek primarily. I wasn’t into TNG at all (because of my age and I’d moved away from stuff like this for a time). DS9 and, particularly, Voyager would rate mire highly as they were on when I was watching TV in the late 90s. I like SNW because it echoes TOS. While I’ll watch other Trek, it doesn’t have the same impact on me.

  • Notes taking app

    Jump

  • Have you tried Remote Save plugin?

    I use it to sync from a webdav on my NAS at home to work computer if I ever need it. It also syncs from services like OneDrive, Dropbox, S3 etc.

    There are other versions of similar syncing.

  • 2nd vote for Obsidian.

    I've moved from OneNote and Evernote about two years ago to Obsidian. I tried out (and still do look at) all the note-keeping apps and Obsidian beats hands down. For me, the major determiner was that it saves to plain text files that I can just transfer into any future app easily. The other aspect is that plug-ins enable you to tailor how Obsidian functions to your own working processes.

    I've found keeping Obsidian in sync over iCloud pretty good as long as you keep the number of plug-ins on phone and iPad limited.

  • Thanks. I’ll take a look. I’ve wanted to move away from gmail for a while now and this is cheap enough to try out.

  • What's PurelyMail like? They seem very cheap.

  • Self-hosted version of Notion called Affine.Pro will have docker released at the end of the month

    Jump

  • I don't think that Note Station has been updated (other than maybe security patches) for years. I tried it when I was looking for an Evernote replacement and was shocked how basic it is.

    Sure I'm not going to be the first one to ask you this but have you tried Obsidian?

  • That data was really interesting and does seem to show that wealth is being progressively transferred upwards after WW2.

    I read somewhere recently that since 1945 $50 trillion had been earned by top 1% while wages have remained relatively flat for working people.
