Hi all,

So I started YNAB a few years ago, and found myself enjoying the accounting aspects more than the budgeting aspects. When the price kicked up, I thought I'd explore the personal accounting space some more.

So I started using GNUCash and learned about double entry accounting. Which was fun sometimes, less fun other times. I liked that I could use Git with the save file, didn't like entering every. single. transaction. manually. I could never figure out the bank sync.

Eventually, I switched to Quicken, and have been mostly OK with it so far (on Mac). Though I'm still not used to using Reports and the like for personal analytics, the mobile app is clunky, and I occasionally run into wonky bugs with sync or with the general app.

How do you all go about tracking funds in accounts, if at all?

Thanks!

Please forgive the multiple posts. My UI is glitchy af and reports errors when there were none.

Can confirm that bootleg printer ink is a thing. It used to be all I used. While sites dedicated to it off Amazon doesn’t cut it.

But as someone else pointed out, manufacturers have been adding “DRM” to cartridges in more recent years. Even in older printers, I will get complaints doubting the authenticity of the cartridges I was putting in.

Got my immediate family on it. Miss some features when forced elsewhere.

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any apps that track your location over time and map it so that you can see where you were at a given time? Preferably one that doesn't upload any of this information to a/the cloud?

I'm a forgetful person and often wonder "what was I don't last Tuessday?" or "When did I get home?" or "How long was I at X?". Sometimes I also just want to contribute to things like OpenStreetMaps for less mapped areas (though I know this requires very frequent pings).

I used to use this feature using Google Location History but stopped because I decided I didn't want to give them any more of my data than necessary.

If anyone plays Legend of Zelda BOTW or TOTK, I'm thinking of it as a sort of personal "Hero's Path Mode".

I know this isn't part of the federated toolset that most in these parts prefer, but I have to use Slack for work. Thought this was interesting.
