I laughed way too hard at this. May have pulled something.
@amicalucis just a little bit off.
@yngmar 😆 the payout level: is that a real tech term of theirs there, or did you edit the screenshot? Either way, hilarious.
@mathias I heard it's good, but did not check yet. Your take?
@piggo Having said that, I am typically wasting more time with the news than I need/should.
@piggo That's why most of the time just scanning of headlines in the newspaper gives you 80% of all information you need. The rest is just our infotainment hungry brain kicking in - from the remaining 80% of time spent (wasted) with the news, you only derive the remaining 20% of information which is of no higher value than the headline anyway.

> And wondering to how many folks reality just looks and feels like that.
Not mine. Fortunately. I am lucky to be able to build a more colorful existence - so far. But I recognise the bleak world clearly.
@Mr_Teatime I really don't know. You need to ask "at freemo at qoto.org" about this.
@z428 You breath on me a mood of life moving at pace day by day without much change and excitement, just "being" regardless of human joys and sorrows. Like a slow gray-mood movie from 80s. A gray mid-age man in a long non-descript coat smoking on a corner in a cold morning waiting for life to pass. A housewife full of well-hidden resentment towards the smoking guy cooking a simple family dinner in the end throwing it in front of him and the children at 6pm. No words, and if so, just a "shut your trap" response. It's not even sad.
What a bleak vision...

@pony See!? And some still claim the world is about to fall apart.
I couldn't help but feel that #XKCD 1269 was relevant to the #selfhosted #Mastodon #fediverse.
@piggo That is always an interesting search problem when I can describe the thing, but cannot name it properly. Often Google Lens helps when I have the object in reality. I tried to run it on your drawing and you would probably figure the term "crimp" from it, but generally it wasn't very helpful this time.
@Mr_Teatime Hm, looking at it, actually Hetzner gives you a managed nextcloud instance for €5/mo including fileshare. Start exploring from the press release here: https://www.hetzner.com/news/11-18-nextcloud/ Though I am not sure it provides calendar out of the box. You'll figure.
@Mr_Teatime in ownc/nextloud you can do separate accounts too and share the calendar with edit rights to fellow users no problem. That would work as well. I think the key is stay in CalDAV and not mix it other stuff (like GCalendar), that's where problems start.
@Mr_Teatime For one, you can just search for such. It's pretty common.
If you have the chops, then a small Hetzner VPS for €5/mo would do.
Just from the top of my head, another idea could be to make an account our instance Qoto.org, it comes with access to managed nextcloud, c.f., here: https://qoto.org/about/more
@Mr_Teatime People then can use the calendar either from CalDAV clients, or import it into their own GCalendar of course, or use read-only as ICS view.
@Mr_Teatime You can use OwnCloud/NextCloud Calendar for this - assuming you'd create a separate account for the calendar and share the credentials in the group.
