I don’t know how to feel about that video being 17 years old

Thanks for sharing your scripts. Could you create an account in firefly-iii that is just the overall value and have a script that takes the balance from ghostfolio and updates it in firefly-iii?

For Plaid, I went through the process to apply for “production” access and get oauth access to most banks. It really wasn’t bad at all. I basically just said I was going to use it for personal use, not selling anything, and not letting others use it. I haven’t used it much, but did get it approved relatively quickly.

I think gnucash looking more like actual accounting software is one of the things that originally put me off of it. I didn’t know what double-entry accounting was at the time either.

Totally fair. When you have a lot of history in an app and don’t have any real issues with it, it takes a lot to want to switch to something else.

Do you import transactions at all, or just manually input them?

I switched from ledger to beancount at some point. I don’t really remember what features beancount had over ledger anymore though.

My plan is to try a few of the other suggestions here like Maybe, Actual, Ghostfolio, etc, and if I don’t end up liking them - just bite the bullet and make the effort to pick up beancount again. I’ll have to check out ledger vs beancount again though and see what the actual differences were again.

What was cumbersome around tagging/categorizing in Maybe? I’m probably going to have to install all of the ones I’m interested in at the same time to test them side by side

Have you tried any of the other options by any chance? Anything that GNUCash does well that keeps you using it? I think not having mobile access would be the thing I’d miss the most

Oof, good to know about the sync issue. That would be pretty annoying to lose all that work.

I tried Actual before, but I don’t remember what I didn’t like about it. I’ll take another look at it. The budgeting part does remind me of YNAB.

Oh wow, Maybe does look pretty slick and covers most of what I want. It looks like it supports importing transactions automatically (without csv files?) but I don’t see much about how that’s configured for hte self-hosted version yet. I’ll definitely try it out.

Paisa looks pretty nice too. I might try it if I can import/convert my old beancount ledger files into it.

I haven’t seen skrooge before, thanks. I was looking for a web app but I guess that isn’t really a hard requirement. I did try gnucash before and didn’t spend enough time learning how to use it. If skrooge is simpler, I’ll try it out.

Kasmvnc looks really cool too even if I don’t use it for this.

I’m pretty sure i read that the dev didn’t want to add support for investment tracking.

I didn’t realize it has plug-ins though, I might give it another shot. Worst case I could use it for everything except investments and find something else for the rest…

Do you add transactions manually or import them somehow?

If you’re wanting to view the rendered page, then you’re looking for a browser. Even if whatever you use doesn’t support something like javascript, it’d probably still be considered a browser?

If you don’t care about all the styling, there are tools to extract the main content and convert it to markdown.

I don’t know if I’ve seen anyone else compare it to SWG, so it might be hopeful lol.

PvP isn’t supposed to be a requirement afaik. It does sound like it’s more helpful to have people in a party vs playing solo though.

I completely forgot private swg servers exist. Maybe I’ll try to find one and give it a try

I’m hoping the new Dune Awakening game will be good. It gives me some SWG vibes.

Yeah they do seem like good people from what little I’ve seen. The main developer supposedly contributes to various k8s projects too.

I’ve been moving most of my homelab stuff to kubernetes. Right now it’s a bunch of vms using talos and also a couple remote dedicated servers.

I was thinking of reinstalling my proxmox machines at home with talos, and using kubevirt for the things I still need VMs for.

Cozystack seems like it already manages most of the things I’d need?

It’d also be nice to be able to give access to a couple friends to their own virtual clusters on the remote servers.

Snipe-it is a bit overkill but it’s pretty good.

Grocy also has an inventory tracker. I’m not sure how different it is tho

If you’re already using forgejo, try forgejo actions first.

Another interesting one is Argo Workflows if you’re using argocd for anything.
