#10ThingsILoveRightNow

- #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!

#vdirsyncer #khard #khal #calcurse #offlineimap #neomutt #todotxt

Apparently #Radicale doesn't follow the full #CalDAV & #CardDAV specification, which makes it not work with #Vdirsyncer, and therefore my #Khard and #Khal clients. I guess I will stick to #Nextcloud for that

I have just released my first #emacs package ever: khalel!
Khalel allows to list, edit and add local calendar events and even sync with remote #CalDav servers by wrapping around two command line tools, #khal and #vdirsyncer. It integrates with #orgmode so that events show up in my org-agenda and I can use org-capture to create new ones :)

The package can be installed via #melpa or from https://gitlab.com/hperrey/khalel

I also wrote about it here: https://www.hoowl.se/khalel.html

@aaribaud

No worries. I'm intermittent as well. I appreciate you being willing to help!

Here's the #khal error, in it's entirety

Alright, #TechnicalJiggeryPokery conundrum of the moment:

Two Debian machines, both running stable.

On one, #vdirsyncer and #khal work perfectly.

The other crashes with errors about xdg.basedirectory.

I'm barely capable of understanding the problem, but I think it has to be something garbled up with Python.

Anyone know of either a fix, or a way to cleanly get back to a known good configuration?

I'm on the verge of reinstalling the misbehaving bix because I can't figure out what went wrong.
