So, mein Wechsel zu #infomaniak ist durch.
alles in allem eine Gelungene Sache, die Tools die sie zur Verfügung stellen funktionieren einwandfrei.
Migration von EMails, Kalender und Kontakten durchgeführt. Dies mit 2 Accounts und 2 Domains.
Hab nun mal mit dem Thunderbird als Outlook Ersatz gestartet, auch aufm Mobile. Bezüglich #CalDav und #CardDav habe ich ne Steile lernkurve hinter mir (infosec.exchange/@hosebei/1143).
Aufm Mobile bin ich nun mit DAVx5 sehr zufrieden, macht was es soll.
Offen ist nun noch die PSTN anbindung, aber das eilt ja nicht.

If you'd like to migrate your #AddressBooks and #calendars from somebody else's platform to a self-hosted or self-managed one, but there's no "migration assistant":

Check whether both platforms support the #CalDAV and #CardDAV standards. If they do, look into #vdirsyncer vdirsyncer.pimutils.org

We'd recommend to test-migrate your existing data to a local filesystem storage first, and swap in your new storage only when syncing to the test storage worked without errors.

To protect yourself against migration blunders, mark your source storage (platform) as read_only and let it "win" in your conflict_resolution setting.

For address book pairs, you can also sync the "displayname" and "description" metadata – for calendar pairs, additionally "color" and "order".

@iznogoud Here are some screenshots. Note the choices to Add a "Calendar" or "Subscription Calendar". Adding a (normal) Calendar *is for iCloud only*. There is no drop-down menu if you tap "Account - iCloud" in the second screenshot, allowing, say, a CalDAV calendar instead.

Especially note that 3rd screenshot (of the #iPadOS Calendar app) showing that "Add Subscription Calendar" must be read-only. The word "CalDAV" is not anywhere to be seen (as though to try to erase the very word "CalDAV" from the common parlance), but a CalDAV URL can indeed be used. The implication here is that a remote #CalDAV #calendar can't be accessed read-write. Which is true in that app.

Can anyone explain to me the labyrinthine interactions between #caldav calendars, email accounts providers and calendar apps?

The first two are often coupled together (convenience?) but you can separate them entirely?

If you have one email inbox for multiple email adresses, how the hell do you distengangle calendars? In Thunderbird calendar client you can pick an identity, but I'm not sure that's being honoured, and apart from that I can't even tell where some of the settings are from.

Aus ästhetischen Gründen fuhr ich zwischendurch zweigleisig: Projekte in #Things, Kleinkram in Apple #Erinnerungen. Machte mich irre.

Also mal Erinnerungen only. Es ist sehr mächtig geworden, hält aber wegen proprietärem Quatsch keine Standards mehr ein (#CalDAV). Die Bedienung der Apps ist außerdem gruselig, und auf Mac ist die Schriftgröße nicht anpassbar auf meine alten Augen (die App ist bei Bedienhilfen außen vor). (2/8)

I think doing a mindful assessment of Thunderbird and whatever uhh other first-line desktop calendar apps for Linux that I can find with #CalDAV and task support vis-a-vis how they interact with tasks created by Tasks.org (Android) ...... is on the agenda for this coming week. I need to get this done. I need a phone-plus-desktop solution for calendar CRUD that works with my tasks app and calendar app on Android sufficiently gracefully that I can tolerate it.

I have been looking for a drop-in replacement for Google's Android implementation of reminders for like 6 years. I started de-Googling that long ago (wow) and one of the first things I pulled off Google was my calendar and contacts. anyway a lot has changed in 6 years so maybe I'll find something.

preliminary indications: Thunderbird is not giving good vibes, I added a task on my phone and it popped up a window so I could dismiss like 4 weeks worth of upcoming reminders 😬 #PIM #selfhosting

I was always surprised why there is not a way to sync #calendars and #contacts in #android without an app.
Although there are FOSS apps that work well, I'd expect that such a basic feature would be something the OS would do out of the box, specially considering the OS already provides an abstraction for "accounts".
For #degoogled #androidROM it makes even more sense, since most likely users will sync contact and calendar from a "custom" #caldav #carddav service.

#OpenNote has some serious backup options, and even security options password protection.

All of the notes are contained inside a database and have to be exported, but this just adds to the effectiveness of the app.

Rather than relying on a flat file system, what you get is faster access to your notes.

That they are periodically backed up is nice. That the synchronization feature is #CalDAV kind of rules, because you have options in your providers.

@ndw I've been a happy customer of #Fastmail (they're on Mastodon, too: @fastmail) since January 2018, and can comfortably recommend them if you're looking for a solid email host.
They're based in #Australia, and have full support for #IMAP, #CalDAV, #CardDAV, as-well as #JMAP if your tool(s) supports that. I like that they only do email and do it well. No ever-expanding product suite of tools I don't really need, nor any confusion on who the customer is. Nice and straight-forward :).
