Browsing Reddit at work like I've literally done every work day for the last six years, suddenly Reddit won't let me vote. Says my account has been suspended, but all I have to do is reset my password, using the email address I have on file. I don't have one. Can't get the email to reset the password, can't add an email now. I can be logged in but can't vote or comment or post. A 12 year old Reddit account down the drain. The password was unique, 20 characters with upper and lowercase letters, numbers, symbols. Generated by my password manager. No way someone compromised my account. Thanks, Reddit.

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

So I could get some and just release it literally anywhere there are people, at least one of whom would inevitably call the fire department and they'd come out and waste a bunch of resources looking for non-existent propane? Huh.

I am single with no children. Having no reason to switch to a "normal person" schedule on my days off, I simply don't. Combine that with blackout curtains and I don't have many problems. Occasionally I need to engage with a business who for some God-awful reason insists on doing work before noon, and those days suck, but otherwise I'm good.

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!

[–] chriscrutch@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

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.

 

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've been seeing a dog food ad that includes one of those pads with the buttons that talk, I was curious to hear about them from people who actually have them.
