Plex doesn’t “just work” I have lost access to my install more time than I can coun’t due to their weird prove you are the owner system.

Actual Budget does it through simple fin.

But I hope most American banks work better than PayPal, with PayPal I only get half the transactions. Like I get that I paid Apple 99 cents, but where is the transaction that PayPal charges my bank account 99 cent? Spoiler they don’t include it in their exports.

They are calling what is basically bookkeeping accounting which is incorrect. Bookkeeping is the act of doing the administration, creating reports etc. Accountants do audits, make actual annual reports and other things more along those lines.

Why would I need a script to automate my bookkeeping? Nearly every software has the ability to connect to your bank. Actual Budget and Firefly III both do it through GoCardless and nearly every software I have worked with both personally and proffesionally has the ability to make rules that say that transactions to say Shell need to be processed to “gas costs” or whatever you want.

I understand that you want more versatile bookkeeping and it sounds nice in theory, but in my experience working in the field with a lot of different software is you don’t want to much freedom in the bookkeeping itself. If there is a payment that is done form the bank it should be something debit and bank credit for that same amount and the bank credit part should never change.

Some of the best software solutions are once with automatic bank connections, OCR/AI recognition software for purchase invoices and where the whole sales process can be connected to automated sales bookkeeping. There are few who do all of this, and a lot of them don’t support fringe solutions like automatically calculating the Dutch margeregeling for second hand products.

I am all for more open source and free bookkeeping software, but I am missing more software with immutable bank connections f.e. If my banks sens a file to the software containing 11 transactions I want my software to process those 11 transactions exactly like they are on the sheet. This reduces the daily/weekly/mostly reconciliation almost entirely.

Actual Budget is an amazing piece of software.

There are some really annoying “features” though that they refuse to fix, like being able to mutate transactions that come from a bank connection.

I hate how they don’t differentiate between bookkeeping and accounting, where I am from using accountancy is even a resevered term for certified accounting or firms.

Also, the more automation you do the more you can focus on actual analysing your finances which can help you improve.

it wasn’t only NC that was a hassle on TrueNas lol, now with Docker Compose most seem to be working a lot better imo.

192 My Street

Except that with street addresses there is such a lack of inconsistency on how they work and are written that it is funny

In a lot of cases yes, but things like Truenas Bitwarden are paid by enterprise users and the community versions help them with spreading word about the software and helping signal bugs etc.

Yes they can also turn to shit, but generally the consumer markt is so slim that they don;t care

Tailscale luckly isn’t in the US

You could use Radarr and Sonarr to rename all your content if you want to. You can setup your own naming scheme and it will change it for you. As far as I know Radarr and Sonarr work with Jellyfin/Plex/Emby/Kodi etc

I just checked, yes it is every 24 hours, but I have to restart that thing regularly so that it is why it feels quicker I gues

That was the case when I lived with my parents, but now it changes every 5 minutes sadly.

So I had to shut down my Minecraft server etc for now because I am on a 5G modem which makes it really annoying to open up ports and point a domain to your IP

Well yes I know, but there is a difference between using a domain bound to me as a person and a random string of numbers that changes every 5 minutes

Yeah I can always do that, but putting stuff behind something like Tailscale is (or atleast feels) more secure than making my IP known to the public. I have a DMZ setup though so it should be fine.

Crap, I really need to switch of Tailscale but currently it is an easy way for me to access my stuff outside of home as a temporary solution while I am on a 5G modem.

I have ResillioSync setup witch syncs between different family members. Both me and my uncle make offline backups of the dataset.

My pictures on my phone are backupped by iCloud, OneDrive, Resilliosync and Immich … The exports are all posted in the Resilliosync dataset and in Immich.

My most important files are on Protondrive and I used to make backups using Perfectbackup to my NAS, but since I ditched WIndows I need something else/

What are you planning? Downing the Dutch songfestival singer Claude? /s

Yeah idk why you need to purchase them, but whatever

Heck they can also drive to you in a Volve stationwagen with the child like sun protectors on the windows that’s a clear sign they have kids as well.
