Hey ,

Is anyone out there using FOSS for accounting?

I'm struggling with Quickbooks desktop (which you can only get as a subscription now, unless you pay four figures for an enterprise license).

comes highly recommended to me, but I'm loathe to go "" for accounting. Very loathe indeed.

?

Edit: Thanks for all of the feedback so far, updates and clarification following in a reply...

This won't help OP, but I've been exploring too and am kinda fascinated with Beancount.

Beancount is similar to Ledger & HLedger, but the author—besides making learning accounting engaging—chooses not to use the confusingly inconsistent presentation of "Debit" & "Credit" in traditional double-entry accounting, and simply focuses on which direction money is flowing.

He details a number of other differences here: https://beancount.github.io/docs/a_comparison_of_beancount_and_ledger_hledger.html

@RL_Dane

This is why stacks and docker-compose exist. You give it a YAML file detailing what containers, what images, what networking, what <everything> configuration, and tell it to start that, and it handles organizing the containers for you.. and if you set it up right, I think that even has some scalability too.

But this is why I say a Docker container is not a VM-lite, it's an app in a sandbox. Compared to what I'm normally using, LXC containers, which are meant to act as a full Linux system, Docker containers are meant to just draw boundaries around a single process in regards to it's filesystem access, environment, and maybe memory and CPU.

Forgot to make this public, so I'm re-posting:

@benjaminhollon @joel

People talk about like it's such a new thing…

There was a company 20+ years ago (Loki Software) that chiefly ported games to linux (commercially).
There was also a wine-based -like compatibility layer called (IIRC) . I think it was actually an "open core" system, where sales of the software helped fund and/or older versions/portions of the software was released as source for wine.

@RL_Dane i believe the porting company was Loki Software

@RL_Dane @benjaminhollon @joel Loki's port of Quake 3 is literally what brought me into linux, I bought Redhat 5 in a big box at microcenter alongside Quake 3 Linux. I've been using linux as my daily driver since the 90's, and have not only played games on linux for decades, but also make games in linux.

With all that said, let me say that today is still night & day what it used to be. It's breathtaking how quickly went from "running a few tent pole games" to "running basically every game"

I mean… not as neat as normal wormhole is. It connects two devices directly together for a direct transfer, to my understanding, similar to how tailscale does.

RL_Dane, to rust
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

Why is it that people's reaction to is either cult-level positive or Ted Cruz-level disgust?

I don't think I've heard more than a single person basically say, "Yeah, Rust is ok, but I like X better because Y." ;)

pixelherodev,

@RL_Dane Hell, my personal opposition to Rust only exists because of the cult.

I, for one, have no real basis to have a strong opinion on Rust. It seems like it might have good ideas, but it uses LLVM so it's not worth looking into. The centralized package management is a mistake, IMO; Go got the package management model pretty much right.

Saying "I prefer C" has attracted negative attention (and moral judgements!).

My opposition to Rust is entirely a result of the insane undeserved hype.

If you make 145 line additions and 129 line removals in one of your core algorithms of 313 lines and all your ~50 tests pass on the first try you just fall in with . It's inevitable at that point. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Very usable, simple enough config file.

The default color scheme was a total eyebleed (yay, washed-out pastels), but easily replaced with proper 000000, ff0000, 00ff00, 0000ff, ffff00, 00ffff, ff00ff colors. :P

So, uh, how do you do that replacement with periods? That could come in really hand in a lot of my scripts.

No, it just uses cat, but it displays it when you've got your selection thingy on an entry. Try it; go to a directory with some markdown files in it and run fzf --preview 'cat {}'.

I probably could use something like glow for the preview, though.

vs. (Todo.TXT)

Sound off!

I've been using my own system which is mainly just $EDITOR and a script that takes out completed tasks every day by grepping out lines that begin with "X "
The problem is that it would be nice to just see a couple most important tasks at a time, instead of having a blood-chilling text file FULL of todo items in your face all day 😅

@RL_Dane Last december, I wrote a bunch of additional scripts around todo.txt to show tasks in fzf or rofi (amongst other things), it might come in handy in you want to filter and sort the tasks: https://proycon.anaproy.nl/posts/todo/

Dear @mozilla
Please, please, please put the RSS indicator back in Firefox.

People need to know about this technology which empowers users over greedy, controlling corporations.

Update: As many have pointed out, you can use @thunderbird as an RSS feed reader, and there are many add-ons to restore the RSS indicator (one of which I'm already using). But my point is that Firefox needs to lean into RSS as an answer to all the crap that is the modern web, and help educate users about it

I have to agree to waive my right to a jury trial in order to order a pizza.

What the heck?!

People, READ YOUR BLOODY AGREEMENTS. Please. They're binding legal documents. Literally all I do is search for the words "waive," "binding," and "arbitration." If I see those, I say no.

It's just not that hard.

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

Some minor clarification: (THIS IS STILL NOT LEGAL ADVICE. GO TALK TO AN ACTUAL LAWYER)

It is my (uneducated) understanding that are times where you'll see "waive" and "binding" in a way that isn't creepy, like saying that the company does not waive its rights if you refuse to abide by the terms, or just saying that the terms are binding in general.

"Arbitration" is a huge red flag, but there are other ways of saying it, so I also look for "waive" and "binding."
