Original Mastodon Post

A few years ago I #degoogled my life by finding replacements for each and every one of the MANY google services and products I became reliant on over the years. I was spending around $30/m on their cloud products both for application development and personal use (Drive, Calendar, Mail etc.).

In just a few weeks I transitioned to a #selfHosted #nextcloud and haven't looked back. It handles my files, calendars, email, documents, backups, contacts and more - more than google even. A built in #WebDAV server allows you to sync your note apps like #joplin and #obsidian.

For #android users there's a wonderful app on #fdroid called #DAVx5 by @davx5@fosstodon.org, which allows you to auto sync your contacts & calendars. It works a treat. Really, this was just a long-winded way to give a shout-out to DavX5 for the great app! I only think about it when I change servers or phones, and that's a complement!
