    Kicking off #FreeSoftwareAdvent (thanks, @neil), I'll open with remind(1)While it took several articles and a couple attempts before I switched over to using it, once you taste the power of what it can do, it's hard to go back to less-capable calendaring tools.While the classic "garbage day is on Thursday unless there was a holiday earlier in the week, in which case it moves back to Friday" scenario is a nice little demo of its power, one of the best examples from my daily use is the kids' school calendars:• the teen has an A/B schedule which doesn't mesh nicely with calendar days, week-days, etc• similarly, our elementary-age kiddo has a 4-day cycle schedule for her "specials" classBut remind's nonomitted() function makes quick work of both of those, taking into consideration weekends, the school holidays, and using PUSH/POP directives for high-school testing days that impact his A/B schedule but not her 4-day cycle. I've never encountered another calendar that handled all the edge-cases with so little effort.It's a little rocky interchanging with other calendars (you have to use rem2ics to create .ics files to share, and pulling in others' iCal is non-trivial and doesn't seem to maintain the fidelity of remote events).But otherwise, this runs a great deal of my life schedule.

    Oh, this is so f***ing gold. This post is a juice concentrate of the many reasons why Matrix sucks:https://yaky.dev/2025-11-30-self-hosting-matrix/Among others:Users cannot be deletedThis is simply not an option in the API. Server admin can perform a "deactivate" (disable login) and "erase" (remove related data, which claims to be GDPR-compliant) on user accounts, but the accounts themselves stay on the server forever.LOL.Here is my take on why you should trash Matrix and use XMPP, or ta least Signal instead:https://gagliardoni.net/#im_battle_2025#im #matrix #jabber #xmpp #signal #privacy #security #enshittification #cypherpunk

    Sending mail from residential ip be like:It's easily solvable using a "free" SMTP relay. But the privacy benefits of self-hosting are lost.I'm using smtp2go to deliver to outlook and gmail. I have no idea if smtp2go is good or no. Do you have any recommendation?#mail #SelfHosting #email #relay
