oh well losing all data after bad server crashes seem to be a known issue with #DAVx5 + #radicale.
https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/discussions/1574
fortunately nobody has any good solution 🫠🥴
even just backing up the server files is not super helpful bc
a) it's nontrivial to actually run a new installation with an old DB and
b) it might just sync to the clients as "delete all that server doesn't know about"
...........
@Atemu Maybe I'm overthinking this. But if I'm doing backups, I want to be sure they're 100% able to get me up and running again. What good is a backup that has the service fall onto its face on restore, because of some tiny race condition or caching inconsistency during the backup?
I don't trust the servies I run (#forgejo, #mattermost, #paperless, #immich, ...) to guarantee random snapshot restore to always work. Except #radicale though, which is dead simple on disk, just files.

Meer dan 3000 mensen hebben in Lyon meegelopen in een herdenkingsmars voor de vermoorde radicale nationalist die in die stad werd doodgeslagen, melden lokale autoriteiten.

More radicale goodness on 
NixOS: services.radicale.git can now sync regularly and on change via radicale with multiple remotes. Currently, it'll prioritise the remote's state in case of conflicts. It's so amazing to have a git history of your calendar and addressbook! 🤩

Full-sharing a #radicale calendar between users is simple with just symlinks. I guess one could do a readonly bind mount instead to get the same but without wrote access? 🤔
Radicale does have configurable rules to control such access, but those have one major flow: the accessible collections of other users won't auto-discover in cients. With symlinks they do, and with bind mounts they should as well, right?
#bindfs should allow for non-sudo readonly bind mounts.
services.radicale.git.enable=true now makes nicer commit messages, for events and contacts it will list the name and even describe renames. Proof of concept, written in bash/awk. It'll be hard to write a diff-parser that covers all kinds of changes, I guess having a local LLM could do it, but it'd slow down radicale significantly.
