Self-hosted calendar that isn't Nextcloud and can send e-mail reminders, not just pop-ups

I know you said “no nextcloud”, but I often see posts from people who say nextcloud was overkill for them, but they don’t realise that almost every component of nextcloud can be uninstalled if you don’t want it. It can be pretty barebones if you want it to be.

I don’t see how you’re going to get away from the domain requirement, though, unless you’re just going to connect to your raw IP address? (And if you are, I didn’t think that nextcloud required a domain?)

Sorry I can’t be more helpful with a different solution, but hopefully someone out there knows of something that would suit your needs.

Don't forget to sand

I spent way too much time trying to figure out what percentage of the German population are named “Hans” to see how effective this would be. According to this site and assuming a population of 84m, there’s about 0.01%. This product claims to be 0.09% effective against Germans, so it seems to be Sanitizing more than just Hans.

Functionality over form

I live in Australia, but have travelled a bit. First time I saw these was at an Oktoberfest event in the UK a year or so ago. I asked where the sauce was and the server pointed at the “udders”. Having never seen anything like it before I just looked right past them, not expecting the sauce bottles to be hanging from the ceiling.

But now I’ve seen them, I love it!

Some deaf children in China can hear after gene treatment

Reply in thread

I mean, the use of gene therapy does seem quite revolutionary, but the treatment only works for a very rare type of hearing loss (”some deaf children…”), and even AFTER treatment, the kids still have a “moderate to severe” loss (assuming the 50dB level they mention is the minimum volume heard). “Normal” hearing is around 20dB. ”…can hear”… a little bit more than almost nothing.
