I live with my partner but we organize a ton of things with family and friends, which generally means we have a ton of different calendars being shared/viewed/edited at any given time. Moreover, it's across many different systems: Microsoft Outlook, iOS/OSX, and Android. I'm actually looking into a self-hosted option some time later this year, so whatever device we get will need to support that, too.

I think right now we have like 6 calendars used on the regular.

I'm experienced with DAKboard, but I don't like that it's a subscription. I'd pay $100 for something I'd never need to think about paying for again.

What device and/or service would anyone here recommend?

Wit's end with this honky bull crap.

Capcut was recommended online as a relatively inexpensive and capable tool for editing videos that included chroma key and AI background removal with touch-up features.

Paid for a month and nothing has worked as advertised. I appear to be eating through credits for it to cut people out to remove backgrounds and clean up sound, but after several minutes, even if I sat and watched it remove greenscreen and white wall backgrounds, those changes will revert to nothing when it reaches something like 97% and I get a network or connection error.

My network and connection is fine. Everything else I want to do works. I can stream system-intensive games on this connection while watching Netflix and downloading music. I have attempted this on multiple networks now, too, and nothing sticks.

What is a better tool I could use to get what I'm looking for at low (or no) cost? I just need to remove backgrounds and equalize/normalize audio in what will wind up being ~3-4 minutes videos I've spliced together from my own footage.

I no longer live there, but I am working on a personal project right now where I am basing a location off of the Cherryland Mall as it was in the 90s. Enclosed, before "Cherryland Centre."

I just remember alotta brown.

Does anybody have pictures they could share of (especially the inside of) the old mall?

My family and I want to share a calendar but don't want to a) rely on Google/Apple/Microsoft stuff playing nice with each other, b) Don't want to pay a monthly fee for any services to be able to have multiple (many) calendars, and c) I am working on a home server to self-host other things, anyway.

It'd need to be visible/compatible with/accessible on numerous platforms.

What are my best options?

Another request about something that I'm not certain how to phrase. I'm not looking for something specifically about self-harm as mutilation/cries for help/suicide, but rather specifically as "a way to get high." Things like people who bleed themselves to feel "high" or engage in things like autoerotic asphyxiation to enhance feelings of pleasure.

I'm looking for things that people do without any external substances.

Anything about this from clinical nonfiction to memoir to sci-fi dystopian and anything else.

Thanks!

Hard-to-ask question, I guess, but I'm looking for any novels that have that sorta-trippy, psychadelic-esque, "ascend and unlock the secrets of the universe"-type vibe to them.
