The founders just confirmed in their discord chat that it will be able to run on m1 macs.

> The biggest problem with it as far as I can tell is the requirement for manual entry.

Gnucash support automated importing from a whole bunch of sources like CSV and OFX/QFX.

Open banking is a great initiative but I currently haven't found any product or tool that actually lets me use it that can actually successfully connect to my accounts.

Also, what differentiates GnuCash from many other tools is that it is full double entry accounting, which gives far more security in terms of knowing that you are not misreporting or missing anything.

Honestly, like with most skills, practice. Build lots of interfaces and complex interactions and you will get better at it over time.

The answers to that are always going to be pretty personal. To me the small amount of time it takes is well worth it to have full insight into where money is coming and going.

I've been using Gnucash for tracking my personal finance for years and find it indispensable. I export CSVs of my transactions from my bank and import them into Gnucash. I spend about 20 minutes every couple of months to pull in the latest CSV and manually categorize anything that has not been automatically categorized. For investment accounts I just treat them a single asset and add adjustment transactions to keep the total value up to date.

This small amount of work lets me see down to the cent where I am spending money and track my net worth. It has a bit of a learning curve starting out, but I would really recommend trying it out.

Love to see progress still happening on this gem. They also recently added hi-dpi support, which is a great achievement and keeps the game playable on modern systems.

Mapy.cz is great and my go-to app for outdoors mapping and tracking hikes and bike rides. It's worse than Google Maps for search and listing, but that's fine.

I'd love if something could be done for open street maps to try and create a real Google-competitor for listings, reviews etc.

If you combine their API with their web playback SDK, you don't need an official client running. That means my app is completely standalone whilst being built only using officially supported endpoints.

It's just a website as it depends on the web playback sdk. It could be wrapped into a desktop app with something like tauri easily enough, which is something I'm considering. Would always be available as a web app, though.

Yeah that of course is a worry I've had but hopefully the functionality is core enough that it should be pretty stable.

It's not just yet, but a quick look at my GitHub - https://github.com/tom-james-watson/ - should tell how that's likely to work out. The good thing is that the app is all client-side and so there's no need to monetize.

This is a big frustration of mine, too. The other is that Spotify is extremely biased towards playlist listening and makes browsing and listening to a library of albums really painful.

The good news is that Spotify's SDK and API are actually powerful enough that you can build up an entire alternative interface, which is actually what I recently started doing: https://i.imgur.com/ar7VrYy.png.

It's still work in progress but actually works perfectly well already. It's not ready for public use yet and also isn't open source yet though. If you want to follow development I guess the best place to do that is my twitter: https://twitter.com/tom_j_watson.

Works on your phone and works in real time as opposed to needing to make a commit every time you change a note.

I also use random email aliases for my domain. The random username is because I don't want people to be able to search my username for a service and link me to other accounts online.

Seems pretty limited to be honest - the usernames aren't going to be unique enough for anything where they have to be globally unique. Unless you include numbers on the end that is, but that's just ugly.

LastPass's username generator is much better: https://www.lastpass.com/username-generator. With "lowercase" only and "Easy to say" turned on, the suggestions are really good. This is my go-to when I need a username, and that's as a Bitwarden user!

Right this second it reports that transferring 10,000 GBP would give you 12,000.71 EUR vs the 11,949.73 EUR you would get by using Wise, which is probably the best known competitor. Seems pretty good to me!

Ironically, your post fits fine in a tweet.

> Keep old nuclear power plants running doesn't do anything for keeping people warm.

"According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, about 43 nuclear reactors around the world—mostly in Eastern Europe and Russia—provide district heating in addition to generating electricity." (https://www.powermag.com/district-heating-supply-from-nuclea...)

> Many of the nuclear plants are being shut down because they are either end-of-life or were recently shut down because they were uneconomical.

This is simply not true. The main reason plants are being shutdown is because Germany, Belgium and Spain are closing them before end-of-life due to political pressure.

Nope - you can switch between "Original quality" and "Storage saver".

It's a little fiddly to set up, but once it's working it works flawlessly. This blog post was helpful in setting it up - https://ubuntu.com/blog/safely-backup-google-photos.

Use Google Photos on my android phone, then use gphotos-sync[0] to sync the files to a hard drive on my DIY NAS. Contents of hard drive are periodically backed up with restic[1] to B2[2].

My reasoning is that I don't trust Google to not lock me out of my account at some point, so having both a local and a remote backup gives me piece of mind. I periodically check the offsite backup to check that it's still all working. Total cost for about a terabyte of files (it's not only photos and videos) is about $6/month, which is pretty reasonable.

It seems like 80% of people I've heard talking about AoC are planning on doing it in Rust (including me!). It's definitely a great way to get up to speed with a language you're interested in learning.

This is really cool! I think this is a really under-serviced space and there's a lot of room for innovation here.

I started making https://waystops.com a while back in a similar vein, although it's more aimed at higher-level exploration of destinations and places to visit than local things to do. I use the wikivoyage dataset to power a lot of it; you may want to check that out too as there is a lot of useful data in there.

There was a good recent episode of Late Night Linux Extra[0] where the maintainer talks about Pidgin and how it compares with Matrix.

Ubuntu has had the proprietary nvidia driver on the iso and selected out of the box for a few releases now.

Definitely appears to be a wider issue, circleci is having a major outage too: https://status.circleci.com.

It's on the homepage - they aim to support the full VS Code extensions API and that is how they power language features like completion.

I've been keeping an eye on onivim for a long time and think it has a lot of potential. Last time I tried it it still had too many rough edges to try and use as a daily driver, though.
