Linux users? Being holier than thou? Say it ain’t so!

I use arch btw

Largely privacy, data ownership, performance, and a general shift towards foss and self hosting.

I don’t have a video for you but I’ve been using Actual for over a year and really like it. I recommend it. Caveat, I very actively interact with my budget (inputting things manually) and cannot speak for it’s account linking features.

I’ve been considering Donetick for this same purpose.

Docmost?

I had a two bay Synology device for many years before I upgraded to a home lab. I liked it quite a bit as a beginner. The interface was easy to use, dead simple to set up the basics, and it had some advanced capability for those curious.

I’d strongly recommend a “plus” model. They are usually only slightly more expensive than their non-plus counterpart for a fairly significant upgrade.

Arguably, yes. When you pay with one of the phone wallet options, you transmit a unique set of info, like a verification token or 2FA token for example, which your banking service confirms is valid for your card and the transaction goes through. But the vendor never receives your real card info.

Not for nothing, tapping to pay with phone is not the same as using the physical card to tap to pay. In the former case, your actual card info is not transmitted.

Nah, my Linux journey has been far from flawless. I troubleshoot stuff on Linux as much or more than I did on Windows.

I reckon the latter part might be the problem for a lot of people.

Ooh, integrates with Home Assistant too… Definitely checking this out!

I have not.

Thanks, I’ll definitely check this one out. I love stupid simple!

I’ll look into this, thanks for the suggestion!

Genuinely had crossed my mind but I’m interesting in something a little bit more sophisticated, with a GUI, and something my partner would be comfortable interacting with as well. Maybe even something I can easily access on my phone.

I’ll consider if if I don’t find something better, thanks!

Could you expound on why you’ve narrowed it down to those two in the first place?

This feels like terrible advice for the majority of people who, in my personal experience, do not enjoy troubleshooting.

This might be fun advice for someone who enjoys troubleshooting.

Nice job! I’ve been toying with the idea of hosting a Maplestory server for the nostalgia.

Actual has been great for my partner and me. Highly recommend!
