@IsoKiero I don't know about "latest and greatest", but your bog-standard solution seems about right; just add radicale into the mix, and you've got calendaring and contacts.

@semperverus @possiblylinux127 No, this other person has a working 'e' key on their keyboard.

@just_another_person @bluelion Eh, don't discount inertia. A lot of debian development channels are still active on IRC.

@wildbus8979 @Bahnd Yeah, XMPP checks all the boxes. That said, I don't know how well encrypted group chats (MUC) work with various clients.

Also, while message contents are encrypted, metadata is not. Self-hosting ameliorates that, but if your "self-hosting" involves a VPS or whatever hosted by a giant corporation, then that's something to be aware of.

@synapse1278 I recently bought a used 8tb drive off ebay for $45. Manufacturing date on the drive was 2016, but Power_On_Hours was 4 (four!). I asked the seller if they reset SMART data; his response:

"We do not reset power on hours, as we could get in a ton of trouble listing used drives as new bulk etc after altering the power on hours. This one likely was used in/for testing an array etc. "

So I'm pretty pleased with that..

@paperd @chaospatterns Yeah, this is the one I'm currently using. I have my pictures automatically synced to my laptop, and (in the other direction) an audiobooks directory on my laptop automatically synced to my phone.
