Corgi Dad<p><a href="https://c7.io/tags/ActualBudget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActualBudget</span></a> with SimpleFin bridge integration has been working mostly fine for me... Except that</p><p>1) vanguard often doesn't sync successfully and needs re-auth<br>2) apple card sync never worked after syncing once......<br>3) the envelope budgeting just doesn't work for me. Like I front load my retirement accounts, so I don't have income for a few months, and Actual budget will just freak out because I'm over budgeting every month 😂😂😂 </p><p>It's ok because I only have retirement accounts with vanguard so I'm not gonna look at it all the time and I have very few transactions on Apple Card at the moment...</p><p><a href="https://c7.io/tags/budget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>budget</span></a> <a href="https://c7.io/tags/budgeting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>budgeting</span></a> <a href="https://c7.io/tags/selfhost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfhost</span></a></p>

Maintained 25+ km/hr much of the time with moderate effort. Of course I did prepay for that by riding into the same wind this morning. </p><p>(Also it's really silly but there's one cyclist I only seem to see when there's a headwind. Go figure)</p>

Edd<p>Slightly different Blog Post today, where I've written about automatically backing up Actual Budget. Its different in that this is intended to be a guide for somewhat less technical users than me (Actual appears to be many user's 'My First Self-hosting Experience', so that's how I've tried to pitch it). </p><p>I've moved my config to Windows, and changed the storage backend to Google Drive, as apparently most users don't have 24/7 backup machines, and self-hosted nextcloud instances. Weird that.</p><p> I've also gone into way more detail on every command than I usually would, so hopefully it's useful to more people.</p><p>Anyway, if that sounds useful to you, give it a read. Comments very much welcomed, I'm trying to improve my technical writing skills: <a href="https://i.am.eddmil.es/posts/backupactualbudget/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">i.am.eddmil.es/posts/backupact</span><span class="invisible">ualbudget/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.eddmil.es/tags/ActualBudget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActualBudget</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.eddmil.es/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a></p>
Adam Millerchip<p>Today's accomplishment: I got <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ActualBudget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActualBudget</span></a> running on my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Synology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Synology</span></a> NAS using HTTPS with my own certificate authority, accessed completely privately via <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/tailscale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tailscale</span></a>.</p><p>The biggest possible improvement point is that I put the private VPN IP in public DNS. But I'd have to set up private DNS or use Tailscale's DNS to avoid that, so I think it's a fair compromise.</p>

Rob Carlson :ally: :BLM:<p>My wife and I sat down to plan out February's budget today. I've been priming Actual Budget with our categories and spending for January so we'd have something to talk about and a view of our spending. Not only did she find the interface super intuitive but liked the concept of envelope budgeting on the big screen and how we could plan ahead for travel and summer camps for the kids by saving incrementally every month. Highly recommend! </p><p><a href="https://www.actualbudget.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">actualbudget.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>:promoted: Not a promoted post, I actually love Actual Budget as a human being.</p><p><a href="https://epistolary.org/tags/Budget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Budget</span></a> <a href="https://epistolary.org/tags/Budgeting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Budgeting</span></a> <a href="https://epistolary.org/tags/EnvelopeMethod" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnvelopeMethod</span></a> <a href="https://epistolary.org/tags/ActualBudget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActualBudget</span></a> <a href="https://epistolary.org/tags/Spending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Spending</span></a> <a href="https://epistolary.org/tags/Finances" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Finances</span></a></p>

Henry Bley-Vroman<p>Extended underemployment has pushed me start tracking my finances. I've been using Actual, a FOSS competitor to YNAB et al.</p><p>Besides having the features I want, I like it because the front end is a React app and the maintainers are active on GitHub and receptive to contributions.</p><p>Today's v24.10.0 includes my overhaul of the "privacy mode". It used to blur numbers leaving them legible; now it replaces them with handwriting-ish squiggles.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/3376" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/actualbudget/actual</span><span class="invisible">/issues/3376</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ActualBudget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActualBudget</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/budget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>budget</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/YNAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YNAB</span></a></p>
