Nick Murison<p>It's taken me a while to get around to it, but I've made some updates to an old <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/clojure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clojure</span></a> codebase I hacked together to convert CSVs from one bank to a CSV that <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/YNAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YNAB</span></a> is able to parse. I've taken the opportunity to learn how to use clojure.tools.cli to parse commandline arguments, as well as tools.build to create an uberjar. It's not much, but it works.</p><p>Also I'm meant to be doing my taxes.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/hobbycoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hobbycoding</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lisp</span></a></p>
Todd Tyrtle<p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/3GoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3GoodThings</span></a> <br>1) Got <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ActualBudget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActualBudget</span></a> working on a server now. Who needs <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/YNAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YNAB</span></a> ? </p><p>2) Sage is bringing home takeaway Mexican food.</p><p>3) Tailwind on the way home from work today. Maintained 25+ km/hr much of the time with moderate effort. Of course I did prepay for that by riding into the same wind this morning. </p><p>(Also it's really silly but there's one cyclist I only seem to see when there's a headwind. Go figure)</p>
Todd Tyrtle<p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/3GoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3GoodThings</span></a> </p><p>1) It took probably 8-10 hours and lots of AI help but I have managed to mimic all the functions that I used in <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/YNAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YNAB</span></a> in an Excel spreadsheet. One less US business supported. (They also were not properly importing bank data so it was less useful)</p><p>2) Delightful afternoon nap.</p><p>3) Sage made jambalaya tonight and it was amazing.</p><p>Now I'm a bit wired from all the spreadsheet work. Hopefully I can sleep soon 😄</p>
Todd Tyrtle<p>I was making an exception for <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ynab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ynab</span></a> in my US business boycott but then it stopped properly importing data from my bank. I think with that in mind, I'll be heading back to spreadsheets. I really found the "Envelope-based" approach really worked well for me.</p><p>Might be a bit of a stretch for my Excel skills but we'll make it work. (Yes, I know, MS is from US but because of work I can't get away from it - Libreoffice is not an option)</p>
Adam Millerchip<p>A nice side-effect of switching from <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/YNAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YNAB</span></a> 4 to self-hosted <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ActualBudget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActualBudget</span></a> via a VPN is that it shows me if I'm not connected to <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Tailscale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tailscale</span></a> for some reason, which I generally want to be because I use it for <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/NextDNS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NextDNS</span></a> too.</p>
Fred Markle<p>Does anyone have a preferred budgeting software they use? I used to use YNAB for years, then switched to Monarch.

Ru (Tech) :blobcatsadlife:<p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/YNAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YNAB</span></a> at ₹9,900/year is way too expensive. Yeah it'll probably help me save that much + give me peace of mind, but damn, that's an annual 10k outflow that I'm not comfortable with.</p><p>I might just make my own spreadsheet with dehydration and hyperfocus.</p>

Henry Bley-Vroman<p>Extended underemployment has pushed me start tracking my finances. I've been using Actual, a FOSS competitor to YNAB et al.</p><p>Besides having the features I want, I like it because the front end is a React app and the maintainers are active on GitHub and receptive to contributions.</p><p>Today's v24.10.0 includes my overhaul of the "privacy mode".

OtterForce<p>Managed to get through the to-do list today. I was going to set up <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/YNAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YNAB</span></a> as well, but it seems it doesn't play nice with <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/2FA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>2FA</span></a> on <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/PayPal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PayPal</span></a>.

George Hotelling<p>This is a huge upgrade for <a href="https://a2mi.social/tags/ynab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ynab</span></a> users on iOS. You can set up an iOS Shortcuts automation to trigger a YNAB transaction whenever you pay with your phone.
