What do you prefer for a self hosted calendar?
  • I use radicale, DAVx5 and Simple Calendar Pro. I tried to use GNOME Calendar on the desktop, but its caldav support is too buggy to be usable, and I ended up using the calendar on my phone only.

    Before simple calendar I used Etar, but it had a very annoying bug where it changed the date (or time, I don't remember) every time I edited an event. Plus, simple calendar can send birthday notifications if you have them in your contact book.

  • Edible insects crawl into the food market amid growing investment: analysts
  • Unfortunately here in Italy there's a lot of push back every time some food innovation is on the horizon. GMOs, insects, cultivated meat... In an attempt to save traditional products, we give up on these opportunities without even trying.

    We'll see what will be the effect on our economy, but for sure we're losing on the climate side.

  • Recap Monday week 31 - what did you play last week?
  • Finally managed to finish a Brass: Birmingham game, split over two evenings, totaling something like 6 hours (official play time: 1-2 hours). Hope it gets quicker next time 🙃

    To be fair to the game, a couple of players were quite uncooperative (or outright disrespectful) on this matter: taking 30 minutes for the first rail era action, chatting when it's your turn...

    The game itself is fun!

  • Automatic Mobile Device Backups?
  • I use it to synchronize media to my raspberry pi, which then runs restic daily to do the actual backup.

    However, you shouldn't use syncthing if you want to delete the files on your phone after they're backed up, because they'll disappear from the server as well. I think you can wrestle syncthing into handling this correctly, but it's not advised as it's not meant for backups.

    For that I've been thinking about setting up immich or the like, but for now I have plenty of space on the phone ;)

  • How do you archive your e-mails? What format should the archive-files have? eml? mbox?
  • You could use mbsync to automate this. You can configure it so that it downloads new mail with IMAP, but keeps them even if they are deleted from the server.

    Then you will have a Maildir that you can manage with any mail client, index with notmutch, etc.

  • Recap Monday Week 28 - What did you play last week?
  • We player Brass: Birmingham for the first time. It's very promising, but by the time we finished the canal era it was almost midnight and we decided to stop there. It took us 3 hours to read the rules and play an half game ;)

    Looking forward to play it to the end next time!
