CardDAV group sync

I opened this issue on RCMCardDAV GitHub repo thinking it was a bug of them, while it turned out it was just ignorance (on my side).

TL;DR:

To make a long story short, if you want to sync groups of contacts, using a CardDAV address book, make sure that every client/sync application is using the same format to store groups. This applies to e.g. roundcube, with the plugin of this post's link, DAVx^5 sync app, and generally each client which supports CardDAV.

  • rcmcarddav settings in roundcube

  • DAVx^5 settings (it's in Italian, sorry. The difference between group types is the same as above though)

DAVx^5 settings

Before setting DAVx^5 to the correct option, groups created on roundcube won't sync correctly to my phone, while the other way around worked fine.

Trilium Notes

A screenshot of the web app

I'm super impressed by Trilium Notes, a wonderful note-taking app and self-hostable service.

Used docker to host it and web to manage my notes. It saves instantly, no button to press, has a lot of useful functions, it's scriptable, does backups automatically and it offers extensions for chrome and firefox.

Two issue though:

  • chrome extension will become unsupported later on in 2024, because it uses manifest v2
  • developers just posted a couple days ago about putting the project into maintenance mode :(

Although this is kinda sad, I have used the app for the past 2 days and it works very well, so much that I finally ditched MS One Note (yes I use Windows on my Desktop - shame! shame! shame!)
