imagine having your #Contacts, #Followers, and #Lists, and any details, like email, phone number, address (yes, to talk and meet them #IRL ;-), all together in one Private space !!
(no being forced to share your address book like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, or Google).
Whereas with tags, categories, or lists, to help sorting out the Contacts. It would also solve the problem when some networks do not have Private List at all. I'm watching you LinkedIn ;-)
Any idea or suggestion #Mastodon ?
This tutorial will explain how to secure your contacts and your appointments from loss while maintaining your privacy. You shouldn't be stuck with a Google account merely for fear of losing data!

I found a debit card in a parking lot today.
6 hours later, my good deed of the day was completed.
There were three people in the middle of the chain.
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.

I'd have some questions about #nextcloud. I'm running a nextcloud on my internal net (no direct internet access) and am wondering is it still the right solution to migrate onto a new hardware?
I'm asking, because I'm not feeling very comfortable with it, because I'm not really understanding it. I'm more a unix like person - keep it simple.
I'm using so far these nextcloud-like services:
- contacts and calendar integrated into linux and android clients
- lufi for filesharing
- occasionally file syncing, but I'm also using #syncthing (the nextcloud client on android sometimes does not work like I'd expect)
- am trying atm #memories which seems to have all features I'd like to have to migrate our families pictures from a synology nas
So for me it seems that it is #calendar, #contacts and maybe #memories.
If I'd break #nextcloud I'd break all of these applications. So I'm thinking if I could just use a bunch of applications like #lufi and #syncthing to migrate to instead of using the nextcloud framework.
I'd be happy about comments on this line of thought, motivations and arguments to keep using nextcloud and insight, practical experiences and reasons to migrate to other projects and drop nextcloud.

rafa massHey, frens.
Please tell me if you know. What is the best alternative to Google Contacts?
Is it open source? Secure?
And the best ways to migrate.

Looked at the stuff I have across the Google app suite and started the slow process of moving away.
So I have gone with Proton (@protonprivacy) for the email side as a free trial.
This may replace GMail, Calendar and Contacts in the long-term. I've shared the new email address with the school in the first instance since they ping regular news stuff and I'll see how I get on with Proton for the next few months.

Email Transition
When I began this process, I had over 13 years and 10GB of email connected to my Outlook address, along with countless website signups and services attached to that email.
The transition to a new domain and hosting with StartMail was smooth but not seamless. I opted for the Business plan because I needed to attach multiple domains to the account. Although I could have saved money with the personal plan, it would have required parking two other...

I'll be sharing updates on my #bigtech #modestdivestment as they happen, but right now I'm looking for a secure and private #contacts and #calendar #cloud option. Anyone have any #privacy suggestions for those? I used #Fruux for a hot second but it seems like it imploded right after I got everything working beautifully, and I'd rather avoid #Google contacts/calendar if possible. Something like #EteSync but without needing a bridge?

Van Gogh wasn't big on ear health, but he never missed an eye appointment. I got checked out, bought contacts, and waded through the glasses. I STILL need to replace my college frames and lenses.
I just found out that the @ietf recently published JSContact yet another specification for storing contact data.
It’s super interesting, though, and I am falling down the rabbit hole of all the links and related information about this. 
One of the authors is Mario Loffredo, “First Technologist” of the Informatics and Telematics section of the Italian National Counsel for Research (CNR). 
It’s the first time I find an Italian in public sector research authoring a spec!
I just sent him a Linkedin connection request, even if I don’t even know why…
IETF DatatrackerRFC 9553: JSContact: A JSON Representation of Contact DataThis specification defines a data model and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) representation of contact card information that can be used for data storage and exchange in address book or directory applications. It aims to be an alternative to the vCard data format and to be unambiguous, extendable, and simple to process. In contrast to the JSON-based jCard format, it is not a direct mapping from the vCard data model and expands semantics where appropriate. Two additional specifications define new vCard elements and how to convert between JSContact and vCard.

He has publicly stated that he #talks to #Israeli #PrimeMinister #BenjaminNetanyahu regularly, with Netanyahu asking Trump for #advice, seemingly as part of a shadow foreign policy that also reportedly includes #contacts with america's enemies including #Russia’ #VladimirPutin.
This clearly violates the #LoganAct of 1799.

I am wondering whether we should be happy that Whatsapp (Meta) wants to have more control of our contacts...obvious answer is "no" or are we lost anyway (my personal contacts are in Google Contacts already for example).
