Small Update:

I set up Radicale as a replacement for EteSync (as it seems development has stalled, and I am paying for the VPS anyway) and so far it works great. Getting a “shared” calendar to work with symlinks was not that intuitive in a Podman setup, but I got it to work. Thanks for the suggestion!

Reminds me a bit of the webserver on a vape: https://bogdanthegeek.github.io/blog/projects/vapeserver/

Supporting the network with a node is honorable work too :)

Oh cool! So like an android phone running services? What did you manage to get running?

Thanks! I thought Syncthing does not use central servers? Whats the benefit of using one?

Thanks! I own an e-reader, but as the stock software has served me well so far, I haven’t had any reason to switch. Is KOReader worth it?

Nice! I think XMPP is the best approach to messaging, as it is decentralized and can be E2E (and more mature than e.g. Matrix). The problem is that I won’t be able to convince anyone I know to use XMPP (Signal was a huge struggle already).
