If my life depends on it, I'm gonna self-host it. Everything comes with its own server. I host my own e-mail, I host my own instant messaging, I host own my file storage and exchange, I host my contacts and calendars, I host my social media and creative content.

And yes, you're welcome to join in, sometimes. If we're friends, I and my servers will help you.

Be warned, though: all my servers come with *me* as an admin.

@drq Your position is awesome! I would like to do the same, but I don't have enough knowledge and patience. I have my own #nextcloud, I have #home_assistant, #gitea for very private projects that I don't even want to share with #github... But for contacts and calendars, for email and more complicated stuff like #self_hosted media, I really have no time, no knowledge and no patience.

@cyrmax Nextcloud has a nifty contact and calendar storage as an app, check it out.

@drq Indeed I should and I will! Thanks for the advice :D
Another question is how do I use it from my #Windows and mobile devices, #IPhone and #Pixel.
AFAIK there was a paid application for #cartdav and #caldav syncing for Android but I really don't want to pay for such a simple task. I guess there are open source solutions.

It's available on F-droid.

@drq I'm gonna try it. I hope it has good accessibility for blind users. Thank you :D

@drq @cyrmax on desktops I figure most just use the web UI, some involve generic "business communication suites" like Thunderbird or Evolution.

I have no clue how good they are at accessibility though, but at least the underlying protocols are open, so there's got to be options to choose from.
