If it’s work and you get reimbursed, just tip everyone. Unless receipts are required.

Some* people get the government they deserve.

I’m not sure how popular they are now, but there are speedometers/odometers you can get for bikes that are just physical devices. You wouldn’t get a gps view of the route you took, but you could still easily track how far you went.

Not sure on running though. I guess some math with a pedometer would get you part of the way there?

I’m currently using forgejo and have no complaints.

Depending on your requirements, you might also consider just using regular git and ssh on a central server somewhere.

Your readme looks super in depth, thanks for that! I haven’t watched the video yet but will later.

I didn’t see it mentioned from a quick glance, but is either sftp or ftps supported?

Have you used jmp.chat before? It looks pretty interesting at first glance

Are you sure you’re not a machine?

What kind of annoying things are you dealing with?

You don’t have to put the user home in /var/lib either if that helps at all.

If you’re already running rootless, I’d keep doing that unless there’s a really good reason not to.

If it makes you feel better, I’ve dealt with so many servers where someone ran chmod -R 777 / thinking it’d solve all of their permission issues.

Self hosted and open source projects are successful if you enjoy it or are solving something you need. Bonus points if it helps someone else too.

What about Nextcloud? It’s heavier than syncthing, but would be an alternative.

I went through a bunch before settling on Kanboard. If you try kanboard, there are some plugins/themes to make it look nicer.

In the end though, I ended up moving away from it. Would be curious what you end up using!

I really like it. I don’t use it for much, but it’s super easy to have multiple servers in multiple locations and let it take care of replication.

It seemed like it was built more for the self hosting and homelab crowd and not enterprises.

Yep, you can install it directly on the proxmox host too.

Just make sure you test it and also test upgrades so you can avoid having to be on-site for those.

Is it a single server? Maybe something like sops is all you need

There’s an oss fork of vault now as well. Openbao.

I forgot about librewolf. Any downsides to it over Firefox?

Thanks for sharing your scripts. Could you create an account in firefly-iii that is just the overall value and have a script that takes the balance from ghostfolio and updates it in firefly-iii?

For Plaid, I went through the process to apply for “production” access and get oauth access to most banks. It really wasn’t bad at all. I basically just said I was going to use it for personal use, not selling anything, and not letting others use it. I haven’t used it much, but did get it approved relatively quickly.

I think gnucash looking more like actual accounting software is one of the things that originally put me off of it. I didn’t know what double-entry accounting was at the time either.

Totally fair. When you have a lot of history in an app and don’t have any real issues with it, it takes a lot to want to switch to something else.

Do you import transactions at all, or just manually input them?

I switched from ledger to beancount at some point. I don’t really remember what features beancount had over ledger anymore though.

My plan is to try a few of the other suggestions here like Maybe, Actual, Ghostfolio, etc, and if I don’t end up liking them - just bite the bullet and make the effort to pick up beancount again. I’ll have to check out ledger vs beancount again though and see what the actual differences were again.
