Seasoned software developer with a knack for tackling complex technical challenges. When I’m not heads-down coding, I usually indulge in two other passions: exploring the world through travel and creating culinary delights in the kitchen.

bmck,

Smoothie with fruit, protein, honey and oats most days.

Have been craving home made McMuffins lately though. English muffin, fried egg, bacon and cheese. Think I’ll have that this morning!

bmck,

Fried rice with leftover rice and veggies from the week.

bmck,

For existing installation’s I can understand why oracle is still in use. For any new build I really can’t fathom why anyone would reach for oracle over Postgres other than ignorance.

bmck,

Teriyaki chicken soba salad bowls.

bmck,

I got an Ooni Karu 16 pizza oven. Tried it out and absolutely love it.

bmck,

I’ve always wanted to have a go making pumpkin gnocchi. I make regular potato gnocchi fairly often.

bmck,

Pesto pasta with freshly made pesto. Can’t be beat.

bmck,

I’m a big fan of Adam Liaw. Very thorough slow paced and technical videos

bmck,

Depending on how nerdy you want to be, hledger is pretty robust.

It would take a bit of setup, but you can automate transaction imports and apply rules to categorise transactions automatically.

Check out plaintextaccounting.org for write-ups, alternatives, etc.

bmck,

“Cancel Free Trial” - I’m sure they would happily refund $0.

bmck,

It’s a free trial; you haven’t paid for any period of time.

I have “Apple One”, and under the “Cancel All Services” button, it says if I cancel now, they will remain active until the end of the current subscription period.

bmck,

PhotoSync is a great one for downloading your photos library.

apps.apple.com/app/id415850124

I use it to sync my iCloud Photos to my local NAS for a peace of mind backup.

For files - as the other person said just copy and paste from the folder on your desktop.

bmck,

Saved you the effort - lemmy.bmck.au/comment/19418 😅

bmck,

And the relevant source code

YSK: How to Budget

Budgeting is a very crucial part of your finances that will either break you or make you survive into another month. I have a very unpopular belief that says, if we take away the inflation issue, take away the wage issue and wage theft problem in America. I do believe that a lot of people are just simply bad with money....

bmck,

If you’re a bit on the techy side, take a look at plain text accounting.

I’m not overly familiar with how things work financially in the U.S. for day-to-day things, but here in Australia, I run everything through my debit card, so at the end of the month, I import all my transactions into Hledger, allocate them to their appropriate expenditure account (i.e., food, gas, utilities, dining out, etc.) and then I can run a report on where my money has gone. I’ve been doing it over the past 2 years and it gives some really good insight.

Although it’s retrospective, it helps me understand what I’m spending my money on and can help forecast and budget.

bmck,

Absolutely. Each server can be entirely standalone, you can just disable federation.

bmck,

I haven’t dug into the protocol, but I’d imagine communication would be done over HTTPS, which requires a domain.

bmck,

As others said - use Linux. It’s the defacto server operating system. Windows is clunky and cumbersome. Microsoft even made .NET work across other operating systems, making hosting .NET apps on Linux a breeze.

A super simple (and free) way of exposing your home server to the internet is to use Cloudflare tunnels. That way it doesn’t matter what your IP is, traffic is routed through Cloudflare to your server and your IP is never exposed.

Use Cloudflare for your DNS, and it will offer you additional protection on their free plan.

bmck,

Noodles + butter, what else do you need?

bmck,

I use Cloudflare as my ingress point. They have a lot of features to provide security against a wide variety of attacks.

bmck,

💯 the Zero Trust platform is amazing. Cloudflare tunnels + access is my go-to for exposing services.
