chriscrutch,

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

chriscrutch,

That article just says he’s still employed with the department, it doesn’t mention whether he’s been suspended or if he’s still performing any job functions. Anyone have a better article?

chriscrutch,

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.

chriscrutch,

Outstanding. Ya know, I was actually starting to not hate that guy this season, and now he blew it.

chriscrutch,

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.

chriscrutch,

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.

Self-hosted calendar that isn't Nextcloud and can send e-mail reminders, not just pop-ups

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....

chriscrutch,

I had Baikal running for a while, there’s no notifications on the server side.

Scheduling is not the same as event notifications. At that link you provided, that refers to sending email invitations to participants in an event. Those get sent immediately at the event’s creation, it’s kind of an RSVP system.

I need a client that can send an email at a specified time before the event starts.

chriscrutch,

Well I may be missing something about how Nextcloud works because I never really fully got it set up. Once I got Nextcloud set up on my domain, how would I go about getting my domain pointed to a Tailscale address?

chriscrutch,

It looks like I’m gonna call that my “second to last resort.” I’m not a programmer or developer of any kind, and that looks pretty intense for me.

chriscrutch,

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.”

chriscrutch,

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.

chriscrutch,

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

chriscrutch,

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.

chriscrutch,

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,

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!

chriscrutch,

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!

chriscrutch,

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

chriscrutch,

I will look into that, thank you.

chriscrutch,

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