It seems the cloud storage page now doesn’t include Nextcloud because of the E2EE issues. But, it does include a little note saying it’s still recommended for those who can self-host. This notice should be added to the calendar sync page, as the same E2EE issues apply there, but it is still a good …

Nextcloud is not listed under Calendar because it does not meet the criteria: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/calendar/#criteria Nextcloud is only recommended for file sync (when selfhosted) due to lack of options: [image] File Sharing and Sync - Privacy Guides Discover how to private…

Please advise me if I am wrong but nowhere on the website it suggests you should use Nextcloud for your calendar syncing (whether selfhosted or not) That is the point of this post

How is it the only option? There are many ways to self host a carddav or caldav server. Nextcloud isn’t any better, actually worse in stability.

[image] ph00lt0: How is it the only option? It is not. That was badly phrased. However, there are no self-hostable options on the page currently. And, Nextcloud is recommended for its self-hostability on another page here already, and is well-regarded in the privacy community. [image] ph0…

Well yeah it’s hard to argue as I am also firmly against the inclusion of Nextcloud generally. And I think self hosting probably too. It requires too much knowledge for the average Joe.
