It's definitely not as lightweight, but as I rely on subtitles a lot I have to run most stuff through Kodi unfortunately. I find it to work quite well though with the Jellyfin add-on. I don't know if it's because the development of Jellyfin is mostly done in the US, who often dislike subtitles, but this has been an ongoing issue for years at this point.

I'd recommend running Jellyfin server but using Kodi as your frontend, best of both worlds, especially if you use subtitles as subtitles still work really poorly on Jellyfin

I don't think one takes into account investment accounts with envelope budgeting, if I'm not wrong. All the accounts in this kind of budgeting should be involved in the budget, to be money that is to be assigned. "Give every dollar a job" kind of style. Money in investment accounts is for the most part saving for savings sake. But I guess people can assign that kind of money as well, e.g. "this is money that I'm investing to be able to buy a house in 5 years". I'm not an expert on this so you could look up how YNAB does it, or if Actual has any docs on this.

Yes. You can read about on Actual Budgets documentation. It's free for personal use. You just generate an API token. https://actualbudget.org/docs/advanced/bank-sync/gocardless/

If you're in the EU you can do bank syncing for free with GoCardless integration. If you're in the US you need to go with SimpleFIN which costs a small sum and is in a more experimental phase than the GoCardless integration I think. Either way, GoCardless has been working great for me. Actually far better than YNAB which didn't even support my bank. It's literally just set up and forget.

If one doesn't want to self-host it one can always go through a service like PikaPods who do in fact have a revenue sharing deal with Actual Budget. And either way, Actual Budget isn't really an accounting tool for businesses, or did I misunderstand you?

 

Not affiliated in any way with Actual Budget, but I can't recommend it enough. It's the FOSS version of YNAB pretty much so if you're a fan of envelope budgeting it's a great tool. I'd even say it has quite a few other strengths compared to YNAB (free bank syncing in the EU with more banks supported for example), and you can always be sure that your financial data stays within your reach.

A reminder that Opera is owned by a Chinese public company. I wouldn't trust the browser for privacy reasons.

I think it works well enough if you take into account it's on a phone.

You can play Morrowind on Android through OpenMW Android. I think this is the most updated version but you have to build it yourself: https://gitlab.com/cavebros/openmw-android

Yes, fair. I was just attracted by the no-hassle method of Tailscale.

Probably why this isn't enabled in the EU. GDPR wouldn't have allowed it.

 

As in, would they be able to access your server?

 

In regards to privacy... even when trying to use FOSS-alternatives and F-Droid on Android?

 

I think a common factor on why torrents are having a resurgence and illegal streaming services are getting more traction, is subscription fatigue. Subscription fatigue doesn't only contain itself to streaming services, movies or music, nowadays you're also expected to subscribe to every app you download. Whether it's a meditation app, a budgeting app (looking at YNAB that went from a one-time purchase to a really expensive subscription model), the Adobe suite, the MS Office suite, your Peloton bike that you've already paid hundreds of dollars for (referencing the earlier article on them establishing a startup fee for buying used bikes), or a podcast app where the money doesn't even go to the podcasters themselves.

Is there a peak for this? I feel like subscriptions are becoming more of a rule than an exception. Having the ability to directly purchase digital goods seems more like a thing of the past. It's just so stupid. But apparently people don't care? They just keep paying for this? Apparently it's still worth it for companies to establish a subscription model, even if there are no benefits for the customer, just the company. What are your thoughts? What can we do to stop it?
