Get thee to SimpleFIN https://www.simplefin.org/ecosystem.html

I think without sync with financial institutions it's going to be hard to grow a userbase.

But this is very cool software!

P.S.: I ctrl+f "encrypt" on your home page and no hits. It's banking / budget / money software, there should be a hit.

Is SimpleFIN basically the same as something like Plaid? I thought it was maybe an open source thing, but it looks like you still need to sync your bank accounts to their system first?

Interesting that this made to HN top, last week i posted as about my open source wealth tracker http://github.com/venil7/assets with all the same features, including self hosting and it barely got any traction

johntash · 25 days ago

I didn't see your previous post, but my feedback would be that your readme doesn't really list all the features? It has some screenshots, but maybe a short list of major features/what you can do with it would be helpful for people just driving by to look at it?

I don't think you need a fancy landing page for every oss project, but I have no way of telling what is different about your project without actually trying it out.

For those interested in this type of single entry accounting (and by extension double entry)

Here are some other ones I've tried and used in the past:

https://copilot.money

https://lunchmoney.app

https://ynab.com

https://beancount.io

https://hledger.org

johntash · 25 days ago

beancount + the web ui for it, fava, is what I end up going back to whenever I look for the sort of tools. Downside is I'm way behind on my ledger and don't _really_ want to spend the effort inputting everything to catch up.

Nah - as you'll see from my work from a pre-coding agents age, I like emoji :)

Here are receipts some from 2020: - https://github.com/AnandChowdhary/bsc-thesis - https://github.com/AnandChowdhary/slack-netlify-trigger - https://github.com/AnandChowdhary/analytics-icons

LLMs had to learn where to use emoji from somewhere, now we know who to blame ;)

Yes, it can do both. The image server will build for both options if possible, so you have to specify “—vm” on the command line creating the domain.

That's awesome, thanks for the nudge. I reinstalled one of my proxmox servers so that I can try Incus out and see if I like it.

It looks like it may handle networking (via ovn) a bit better than what I have now

My mind jumped to synths from the Fallout games, so I was disappointed to find something else, but it's still pretty cool!

I generally like what Zed is trying to become. However, all of these features and blog posts are frustraing when they struggle to keep basic editor features stable. Edit a file outside of the editor? It's not going to show up in the project pane or the git diff. Need to work inside a container because it's 2025 and we don't need to clutter our local machine with 100s of dependencies and env managers... well now all the AI stuff is broken. ACP sounds cool until you realize every single CLI in existence works better.

My wish is that Zed gets the core working correctly 100% of the time before moving on to expanding feature sets. For now I'm back in NeoVIM because it always works the first time....

Hopefully soon I can give it another shot at full time usage.

johntash · a month ago

For me, I was happy using Zed until suddenly an update caused it to crash every time I opened it. It was caused by some sort of issue with graphics drivers on linux I guess.

I just checked the issue [1] and it is fixed now, but it's crazy to me that I never really thought of my text editor needing to use my graphics card for rendering.

I used Proxmox for years to run a fairly comprehensive homelab, and a few months ago replaced the entire thing with Incus (on a debian host, haven't tried IncusOS yet). Incus is amazing and it makes so many things so much easier compared to Proxmox.

One thing in particular is permissions in unprivileged containers. In Proxmox, you have to do a bunch of somewhat confusing ID mapping. In Incus, it's as simple as setting "shift=true".

Also the profile system in Incus is really powerful and allowed me to deduplicate a ton of config.

johntash · a month ago

Can Incus do regular vms too, or only LXCs? I think I looked at it before but wrote it off because I still have some workloads that have to be in VMs.

dmart · 2 months ago

I’m not a huge fan of Warp, but I would love for any other terminal to copy its text editor-style input field.

It’s so much nicer for 90% of my terminal usage (long multi-line commands, etc.) And when you do need TUI behavior that 10% of the time, just toggle it off.

johntash · 2 months ago

Most shells can help with this. vim mode helps, zsh also has 'edit-command-line' that can open the command in an editor but idk if it has a keybind by default.

I tend to open most links with a right click and then the first menu option: "Open link in new tab", and done so fast enough that I have not actually read the menu. But when the "link" is not a link but just an image, I have then instead clicked on "Open image in new tab".

This has especially been annoying when I have happened to use DuckDuckGo's image search instead of Google's or Bing's and instead of having opened ten tabs with links, I have ten tabs with a thumbnail in each ...

johntash · 2 months ago

In case you want to save a few seconds of your life, you can also middle click or ctrl click instead of right clicking + left clicking on the menu.
