My knowledge base for misc. linux desktop and server setups/configurations
This is a collaborative effort of Till Dieminger and me as our needs are similar enough to warrant a shared knowledge base.
For dekstop environments a heavy Arch bias is to be expected but a lot of stuff can be applied in many distros. Switching out pacman/paru for the appropriate package manager of your choice will have to be done of course.

For server stuff I'm mostly using Debian. See [landchad.net](https://landchad.net) for a similar project centered around mostly server stuff.
For server stuff I have been mostly using Debian. Newer additions will assume Arch Linux on your server.
This is because of Debian's ancient versions of software (python 3.7 is over 5 years old now) and the resultant overuse of docker or installing everything from source.

Most should be compatible with Debian as well though as Arch oftentimes just ships more minimalistic configs.
Assuming of course that the two distros versions are comptatible.

See my [syncclouds.sh script as an example](https://bocken.org/git/Alexander/dotfiles/src/branch/master/.local/bin/syncclouds.sh) which also handles corrupted lockfiles because of unexpected aborts.
TODO: investigate wheter todos are possible to also be synced. Could not get it working myself.
### Sync to Android
If you wish to sync your calendar to your Android phone, you can use the [DAVx⁵](https://www.davx5.com/) app. Contacts are also possible
