I moved from Joplin to Obsidian and am very happy with the move, but it's not FOSS

I was too young to watch Moonlighting when it was on TV, so I never knew Bruce Willis as anything other than an action and drama guy until he was on Friends for a few episodes, and then I thought he was out of place.

This looks quite promising, thank you! I'll be trying that.

[–] chriscrutch@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I will look into that, thank you.

[–] chriscrutch@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

If I ever come up with something, I'll let you know.

Interesting, the one time I tried Nextcloud I was using the AIO version, maybe it'll be slightly less onerous to use the other one. I may give that a shot. Thank you!

I may have to try that one. Just looking on the website, it doesn't explicitly say there's the possibility of emailed event reminders, but it does say that there's an integrated client so it seems like there's a possibility. Thank you!

I checked out the documentation for that, I can't find in there anywhere anything about e-mail reminders for events. Additionally, it looks like setting up recurring events (like monthly bills or repeated appointments) isn't possible. It seems more like a business booking solution than a personal calendaring thing. Thank you though!

Yeah, I've tried most of the servers listed there. None of the servers have email functionality (beyond invitations). I haven't found a client that does either. I understand that Thunderbird used to have it, but doesn't any more. Strange that an email application can't email. Hahahaha.

Any coding is well above my skill level. Thank you, though.

Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be any functionality for email reminders either on the server side or client side for them. I tried Etesync once, although it has been a bit.

Oh, isn't that interesting. I already run a Pi-Hole but I had never thought of doing that with a custom entry. I suppose that would work, wouldn't it?

I really dislike that everything in this thread is pushing towards Nextcloud after all. It seems like it should be easier to get email reminders. It should really be somewhere in-between "use Google" and "run Nextcloud and buy a domain name and use a custom piece of hardware to run your own DNS server to which you have to add even more customizations to be able to run and sync the Nextcloud suite, most of which you'll never use."

 

I'm trying to de-Google my life and self-host more. One tricky point with me is calendaring. I can get a CalDav server running and syncing with my Android phone without much hassle, but I haven't yet found a server or client that can send e-mail reminders for events, rather than just pop-up notifications.

I've been told to try Nextcloud. I tried installing it but it's overkill for me, and I don't want to deal with setting up a domain. Surely there can't be exactly one CalDav option that can send email reminders. But I've never heard anyone say anything other than "Nextcloud."

 

I'm looking for a community where discussion about the Lemmy software itself is discussed. I have a feature request and although I can't see any such request on the Lemmy github, it seems nearly impossible to me that no one has asked for it yet. I want to chat about it with other Lemmy users before determining if I'm way out in left field or not.
