Bad sleep, too hot, idea of the morning: I wonder whether pass(1) (the command line password manager) would be a good tool to keep an address book of the people with whom I regularly exchange #snailMail.
Up to now I've used paper (no man page, the physical thing :D), but that usually remains at home when I'm traveling, and I'm not in the habit to send postcards, but sometimes the sudden need for a letter happens (and paper is harder to backup and harder to encrypt in case it's lost).

Unknown parent • •@Enrico Rossi I didn't even think that carddav had a space for physical addresses :D
the reason why I thought of pass is the encryption, which would be missing when using khard+vdirsincer, however.
uhm... thinking about it

Unknown parent • •@Luca Sironi @Enrico Rossi I wouldn't store physical addresses on a smartphone, and especially not unencrypted: it would be fine if they were businesses, of course, but the combination of real name + surname and home address of people, often even associated with their nickname is something that I wouldn't want to have on something that is easily lost or stolen.
And I'm quite sure that most of them wouldn't consider it ok if I just appeared at their door unannounced. :)
otoh, if it is at home and only accessible via a vpn it's safer, but then one needs the internet connection to get the data, which may or may not be available while traveling.
