I may have to try that one. Just looking on the website, it doesn't explicitly say there's the possibility of emailed event reminders, but it does say that there's an integrated client so it seems like there's a possibility. Thank you!

I checked out the documentation for that, I can't find in there anywhere anything about e-mail reminders for events. Additionally, it looks like setting up recurring events (like monthly bills or repeated appointments) isn't possible. It seems more like a business booking solution than a personal calendaring thing. Thank you though!

Yeah, I've tried most of the servers listed there. None of the servers have email functionality (beyond invitations). I haven't found a client that does either. I understand that Thunderbird used to have it, but doesn't any more. Strange that an email application can't email. Hahahaha.

Any coding is well above my skill level. Thank you, though.

Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be any functionality for email reminders either on the server side or client side for them. I tried Etesync once, although it has been a bit.

Oh, isn't that interesting. I already run a Pi-Hole but I had never thought of doing that with a custom entry. I suppose that would work, wouldn't it?

I really dislike that everything in this thread is pushing towards Nextcloud after all. It seems like it should be easier to get email reminders. It should really be somewhere in-between "use Google" and "run Nextcloud and buy a domain name and use a custom piece of hardware to run your own DNS server to which you have to add even more customizations to be able to run and sync the Nextcloud suite, most of which you'll never use."

It looks like I'm gonna call that my "second to last resort." I'm not a programmer or developer of any kind, and that looks pretty intense for me.

Well I may be missing something about how Nextcloud works because I never really fully got it set up. Once I got Nextcloud set up on my domain, how would I go about getting my domain pointed to a Tailscale address?

I had Baikal running for a while, there's no notifications on the server side.

Scheduling is not the same as event notifications. At that link you provided, that refers to sending email invitations to participants in an event. Those get sent immediately at the event's creation, it's kind of an RSVP system.

I need a client that can send an email at a specified time before the event starts.

[–] chriscrutch@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, the email reminders I'd like would be for both types of events (one-offs and recurring ones). And although it would work, I guess, I'm not crawling around in crontab every time I need to add something to my schedule.

My raw IP wouldn't help, my ISP has me behind CGNAT. I can set up a CalDav server and sync it with Tailscale, but can't do that for Nextcloud.

The first time I saw that movie it was actually in the theater on Christmas day. It was me, one elderly couple, and one other guy in the entire theater. The elderly couple got up and left before the title even made it on screen, and I was already laughing. I've watched it every single year since.

 
 

Have at it, folks! I've created this community here because there didn't seem to be such a place on Lemmy yet, maybe we can have some fun like they do on Reddit and the dispatch communities on Facebook.

Post anything for now I guess. Stories, memes, requests for help with CADs or other resources, polls, whatever, until this community gets some traction and then maybe we can focus more.

 

I've been seeing a dog food ad that includes one of those pads with the buttons that talk, I was curious to hear about them from people who actually have them.
