I’ve recently discovered Open Archiver in a (German) YouTube video, which allows you to archive your emails from various different email providers. It seems to be still a very new project, but it looks promising to me. And it’s completely open source.

From self-hosting notes
I recently wanted to move away from Apple’s Notes app, since it doesn’t allow storing the actual notes anywhere als than iCloud. So I started a journey regarding self-hosting my notes …

Dovecot update is not fun
TIL (at 3 am): Upgrading Dovecot is not fun when the behavior changes a lot. Took several hours to get it running identical to before. But at least I could remove some old configuration parts.

Replaced Numbers with something completely different
I used to use Numbers usually only to track my spendings for my side business to get a quick overview when doing my taxes. All the back and forth with Apple Creator Studio now let me change that.

Updated Baïkal and self-host contacts
I used the Sunday morning to upgrade my Baïkal instance to version 0.11.0 (if you experience issues with the MySQL connection afterwards, make sure to add the new required configuration entry
mysql_ca_certto your config).And I also used it to enable CardDAV (previously I solely used it as calendar via CalDAV) and moved all my contacts from iCloud to my own server. This was not as easy as first thought, since importing a list of vCards in the macOS “Contacts” app won’t sync all of them. I ended up using my iPhone to import all of my contacts to my own server.
