  • Self-hosted Radicale for calendar, contacts, and todo list
  • On Desktop use vdirsyncer for syncing and khal/khard/todoman
  • On Android I use davsync with mostly default android apps for calendar, contacts and todolist

    Works flawlessly.

    Use custom curl scripts to get some internet calendars that also works flawlessly.

    Been doing this for almost a decade now.

Even the little design around your signature on the bottom is very pretty. Such attention to detail, impressive!

I only know the American Robin, so it was great to be informed of the (unrelated) old-world variety. I guess everything really is bigger in America!

Irrelevant. You can sublicense MIT to GPL by forking if you're so inclined.

Who wants another Silicon Valley? Their model is foundationally based on "moving fast and breaking things".
What about focusing on responsible, organic stewardship and community over growth at any cost? If no one's making any real money, we don't have to hitch our cart to the capitalist horse which has resulted in our current situation.

Slowing/stopping/reversing climate change could be achieved much more readily if "people" (in general or specifically activists) were willing to accept some sacrifice, which is to say decrease in their standard of living.

However, I think that's a third rail that no one wants to touch. See "veganism is too hard", "biking takes too long", "I'm really busy, I have to use plastic water bottles", etc. There are of course people for which it really is not possible, but also many where they are just unwilling to sacrifice.

Therefore, the only way to maintain our current standard of living while ameliorating climate change is through rapid technological advancement. I'm not hopeful.

I wholeheartedly agree, though I will need to look up the XNU kernel and the relevance of licensing to Elasticsearch and Terraform. I develop and use R packages and am happy to see that the majority (70%) of those packages are GPL. Not core linux infrastructure, but I an at least happy in my small corner of the OSS community.

Thank for the reply!

I definitely understand your preference for copyleft licenses.

This is off-topic but are there any recent media that have strengthened your views for GPL or even AGPL (outside of Stallman) over MIT/ISC?

Look at the European, having to only stock metric screw sizes, so lucky. Kidding!
I'm definitely going to try this out. Looks great!

I don't support the .NET Framework which is a dependency of most (all?) of the -arr suite. It's a fairly divisive and niche argument so I didn't bring it up initially, but I try to reduce my reliance on proprietary software and hardware as much as possible.

I would vote for syncthing as it can have better support if you need syncing across work firewalls. Also allows device-to-device sync, not just server-device. It's a cool federated solution (like lemmy!).
