Decided to take the plunge today and finally set up @nixos_org secrets management with #sopsnix, so that I could set up declarative email, calendars, and contacts in #nix home manager using #vdirsyncer, #khal, #khard, #mbsync, #notmuch, and #aerc. The documentation still isn't good enough, so I had to dive into the source nix files for the various home-manager options, but it wasn't too bad, and it was fun!

Yay! New #postMarketOS release brings updated #AlpineLinux which has packaged #khard and #solvespace!
Can't wait to flash it to my #c201 #chromebook. This will make it a cute little hyper portable laptop with my contacts (thanks to khard) and even the option of practicing some #CAD!
I wonder how the solvespace performance will be.

I finally have a workflow for getting my CardDAV contacts into #aerc. It's not pretty, but it works. I'd like to have used vdirsyncer for syncing up my Zoho vcard contacts, but it keeps bombing out on the import. So I had to give up on that.

Instead, whenever I have updates on the Zoho side that I want to get into aerc, I manually export from the web interface of Zoho my contacts. Then I run a Python script I wrote that will convert that file into a directory with vcf files that #khard likes working with. I have aerc configured to use khard to do the search and return results for aerc to display as I compose my email.

It's a pretty easy process even though it's not perfect.

Thanks go to @amin for providing pointers and tools!

I'm experimenting with using TUI apps for all of my communications. Set up #aerc for email and #khal and #khard for CalDAV/CardDAV. Next up is self-hosting #matrix and a bunch of bridges so messaging can join the party.

- #khal (cli calendar manager)
- #khard (cli contact manager)
- #irc (neckbeards chat solution)
- #rss (old-school subscriptions)
- #beets (music organizer)
- #river (wayland window manager)
- #fzf (cli fuzzy finder)
- #sourcehut (software platform)
- #yt-dlp (legal software to archive copyleft media)
- #unbound (dns server)

Can we make this a thing again?

So, my #FLOSS todo list for the next days:
- get that #Recoll plugin for #Synapse working again
- write that script to make @qownnotes use @pandoc and @libreoffice to generate a PDF booklet
- make that #iBook G4 running again and set up an usable PIM suite using #vdirsyncer, #khal, #khard and #mutt.

If I'm somewhat recreated by that time I'm gonna restart coding on #ObjGTK. But after Christmas I'm really too exhausted to get into deep work too soon. 🤔 🤷‍♂️

Today I managed to install and configure
- my contacts (vdirsyncer + khard, formerly khal)
- my calendar (calcurse + calcurse-caldav. Might switch to vdirsyncer)
- my mail (offlineimap + neomutt)
- my todo txt (todo.sh)

Not happy with saving credentials in plain text :-(

But I can look into Lua (conky and awesome WM widgets) next!

Hoy me puse a documentar en castellano como configurar la libreta de direcciones de Protonmail con el cliente de email **aerc** y bueno poco a poco fui metiendole mas cosas, aunque aun falta https://man.sr.ht/~rek2/Hispagatos-wiki/software/email_estilo_hispagatos.md #aerc #hydroxide #khard #protonmail #email #consola #linux #gnu #hackerculture

@kelbot Also set up my calendar and contact management with #vdirsyncer, #khal and #khard thanks to a blog post from @hund: https://hund.tty1.se/2020/08/12/how-to-sync-and-manage-your-caldav-and-carddav-via-the-terminal.html

Caldav and carddav management won't get better than this.

Just added the first new contact with #khard and synced it to my smart phone via my #radicale server - pure awesomness! 🤘 :vim:

Today I finally moved with my contact and calendar management into the terminal with #vdirsyncer #khal and #khard.

Thank you @hund for your great post: https://hund.tty1.se/2020/08/12/how-to-sync-and-manage-your-caldav-and-carddav-via-the-terminal.html

@breizh Ha, je vais regarder de ce côté là parce-que j'utilise déjà #vdirsyncer et #khard pour mes contacts avec #neomutt.
@Fritange

My current setup:
OS: #archlinux with #swaywm
Music: #supercollider #scnvim #audacity
Video: #kdenlive
Terminal emulator: #termite
Editor: #neovim
Mail: #isync #notmuch #neomutt
Contacts: #khard
Calendar: #khal
Office: #libreoffice
System upgrade: #topgrade

I've added #khal and #khard to my command line #mutt #email experiment. Once I wrapped my head around them, I was blown away with how well this system actually works.

I suppose it's now a full-blown #luddite pim project. :)
