OP specifically mentioned not wanting claws.

I recently went through the process of separating from Google as much as possible here.

As others have said, Nextcloud or Radical or Baikal are all good calendar server options to self-host

On your Android phone, DAVx5 for syncing CalDAV and CardDAV (which the servers listed above use), ICSx5 for any public Google calendars you want to subscribe to (you can almost always get an ICS calendar file link for those), and Etar to interact with said calendars on your phone.

On your computer, Thunderbird is the easiest way to go. There is also the web interface for whatever server you decide to host. There are other options, too. On Linux, I use pimsync + khal/khard.

Caveats:

• In Etar, khal, AND the Nextcloud web UI, I have had lots of trouble with being able to apply updates to calendar events, like a new ICS file containing an updated time or place. The only calendar app I’ve found that handles this correctly is Thunderbird on the desktop.
• Doing things this way separates your email account from your calendar account, which can create some annoyances. Every mainstream mail service these days tightly couples itself with a calendar. For instance, to send invitations for a calendar event that I create on Nextcloud, I also have my email account linked to Nextcloud. You can’t do this if you have Proton or Tuta because of their encryption. When I had Proton, I used Postmark to have a send-only email account from Nextcloud to send out invitations.
• If you want to subscribe to PRIVATE Google calendars (my partner still has Google, so I need to do this), you need to sync a Google account with each device you want to subscribe to that calendar on. There is no way to add it to one of these self-hosted servers. The way that I handle this is by making a throwaway Google account that is only for subscribing to calendars, syncing that to my phone with DAVx5, and while I could sync to Thunderbird on my computer, I pretty much only use Thunderbird when I need to update a calendar event. So, in my case, I use pimsync. To sync a Google account to pimsync, you need to create a fake “app” using a Google account on the Google Cloud Platform, add the CalDAV API and generate credentials, add your calendar sync account to the allowed testing users, and then add the generated credentials to pimsync. It sucks.
• As usual, you can’t sync any Microsoft calendars with anything other than Outlook.

Not self hosted necessarily, but TagStudio is an interesting project worth keeping an eye on https://docs.tagstud.io/

It sounds like what they ultimately want is one place to look at both read-it-later stuff and starred RSS articles. My read is that they are proposing one way to do it, but ultimately it’s not super workable that way. There are no clients I know of that are both RSS clients and read-it-later clients (using pocket, wallabag, or anything else).

If OP wants one place to see both, their best bet is to find a read-it-later server that can generate RSS feeds, subscribe to those, and now everything is RSS and behaves the same. Wallabag is a great option for that and is self-hostable.

This is exactly what I do and it works great.

http://wallabag.it/ can publish your read-it-laters to RSS

ArcaneChat is dope. I’m testing it out with my partner right now. The built-in Jitsi button is super helpful. My extended family (about 30 people) switched over to signal a few years ago, so there is some inertia there, but for any new chats, DeltaChat (and ArcaneChat for Android users) is what I’m going to push for.

I played the shit out of Generals with my brother. Very happy to see this.

Kill it with fire

Another option that has not been mentioned yet is WriteFreely https://writefreely.org/

Yeah, that is a serious problem. Thankfully, my local transit agency still offers the ability to use a card instead of an app, but you have to request it online to be sent in the mail. It took a month to get mine. Really not ideal.

Pretty easy to find on a search engine:

Either he likes Nazi shit or he thinks its funny to pretend he likes Nazi shit to make people upset.

I use a 2013 macbook air for this kind of thing. It works great!

Linus is definitely not American. That is no excuse he way he just ignored the dma maintainer’s behavior and that is no excuse for why nobody in leadership did or said anything even after the connotation of the phrase was explained by another in the thread. The only thing that brought enough attention for any comment was marcan’s responses, and Linus just basically came in and said to stop making noise.

Yeah, this looks like trying to avoid conflict by shutting down a person pushing back against bad behavior, instead of trying to mediate the situation to come to a just resolution. It’s shallow and gross and not sustainable.

Porkbun is good

I love this and Delta chat. I’m keeping this in my back pocket for future group chats and for if any of my current groups become open to switching.

I recently switched from Proton to Fastmail…then I found out it seems like they have done union busting in the past. I already paid for it, and they are certainly the lesser evil, but I think I’m gonna get a lifetime mxmail mxroute account during black friday this year.

I’ve been focused, lately, on separation of concerns. Yeah, using FOSS tools is great, but I’m also asking myself how much losing a given tool will impact me if I start to rely on it.

This past weekend I finally broke away from ProtonMail. After what the CEO has been saying, and because of other annoyances like being unable to use anything but their clients, it was finally time to rip that bandaid off.

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of using a standard protonmail.com email address, so now I have to tell everyone to stop using that. Also, I was a heavy user of SimpleLogin for creating email aliases for basically every service I signed up for, and now I have to switch all of those.

I should have learned this lesson when I left Google, but this time I will be using my own domain. I also took this opportunity to leave Cloudflare entirely.

Now I have a domain for my email address and my website through porkbun, but can transfer that to another registrar if they start to suck.

I use desec.io for my DNS needs instead of the built-in porkbun DNS tools to make it easier to switch to a different registrar if I need to. They’re a non-profit, and it’s open source software that I could potentially selfhost in the future. This also replaced Cloudflare.

I use fastmail.com for the actual email service, which let’s me use the apps I like on my phone and PC to interact with email the way I want.

Fastmail also has a service like SimpleLogin, but instead I went with addy.io (also FOSS; also potentially selfhostable) with another custom domain at porkbun.

My website is a blog hosted by write.as, which is, again, built around FOSS and selfhostable software.

All of these pieces can be swapped out without affecting the others if need be, bringing switching costs to near-zero, and making it very customizable in the process.

I’ve started using Thumb-Key recently. I’m still very slow on it, but it is interesting, so I’m trying to give it a fair shake.
