Actual Budget is a fantastic FOSS budgeting tool that you can self-host
  • I got simplefin sync working. But I was surprised how manual everything still is. Actual syncs line items but not balance. You have to manually reconcile it. Actual does not handle transfers automatically, you have to set up rules for it and it's very tedious and often requires manual fixes.

    For someone used to mint or monarch, I would say sync functionality is extremely mininal. I want to like it more. I'm kind of surprised so many people don't mind this stuff. Maybe I'm lazy.

  • Is this what every election is like?
  • To me, what's different is that the modern republican party seems to think that I'm an enemy of the people. Bush was awful but I never felt like he personally wanted to harm me just for existing. I knew Bush would send emergency aid to a democratic Voting area, no question. The "enemy" was abroad. Now it's within.

  • New Yorkers urged to conserve water after driest October in 150 years
  • I've been here for 14 years and own a stroller. Someone will always help, even in less dense areas. It's common courtesy. I'd guess more people would actually induce a bystander effect. Same thing with asking for directions.

  • Donald Trump and the language of violence: no one has done more to frame American politics in violent terms
  • I can't speak for Terry Szuplat, but I would think the same rules apply.

    How exactly would calling an anti-abortion extremist a subhuman nazi terrorist help anything at all? It might make them feel more strongly in their beliefs. It might make you look bad, and get more votes for anti-abortion extremist positions. It might normalize the language of dehumanization, furthering aims of authoritarians. MAGA lives on victimhood, making it stronger hardly helps. Listening and being reasonable may be hard, but is more likely to be heard.

    Regarding tolerance of the intolerant - I see no incompatibility. Vote to ensure their views don't win. Outlaw violence. There's times where civil disobedience is called for. Terry isn't suggesting just give up and let others run things out of fear of offending someone.

    If I may offend you now by including Star Wars as a Disney movie, Luke doesn't win by killing his father and becoming emperor. That was Vader's thing. Vader is evil. So is Trump. But I wouldn't go airing commercials talking about how evil Trump and his vermin followers are unless I was aiming to get Trump elected.

  • No Competition
  • The economy works better now and they just released smaller assets for schools, firehouses, more parks, etc. Still no bikes. Performance is better and barely playable on my amd 8700g apu.

    Paradox Mods BETA is now available!
  • When I paused the game, plopped a park in an existing busy path, remake the connections with anarchy - the cims immediately updated their path to use the new park's path. They left. And then no cim ever came in again. Making a second path around the park (being slower) makes them take it again and avoid the park. I noticed that some paths made with anarchy just don't work at all too, or at least their connection to a road doesn't work even when it looks like it should. Another anarchy path connected to a train station platform did work.

    I'll have to try invisible paths. I really want to get people walking through those parks.

  • Paradox Mods BETA is now available!
  • I was excited to use Anarchy to connect the pedestrian paths on parks. But then I realized no one uses them. And then I realized the problem is no one goes in any park at all... I really want to like this game but it feels so dead having parks and paths entirely unused. The better road network tools are great, it's hard to go back to CS1.

  • Redis switching to shared-source licensing model
  • With SSPLv1, does that mean one can sell redis hosting as long as everything used to manage it is open source? It says it's based on AGPL. So if say digitalocean open sourced all their api's and UI they could still offer managed redis. It seems like the answer is yes but then the blog post also says

    Under the new license, cloud service providers hosting Redis offerings will no longer be permitted to use the source code of Redis free of charge.

    That sounds like no.

    Lighter weight replacements for Sentry bug logging
  • Hello, I'm the lead dev of GlitchTip. Fun to see it mentioned here. Source maps are supported. I wish I had time to make the feature easier to use and write better docs. Contributions are welcome. It's very much a hobby project for the little time I have after work and family. Right now all of my attention is on an event ingest rewrite to work with fewer resources.

  • What's your experience with bluetooth audio?

    Bluetooth audio is my least favorite part of using Linux and it seems like my coworkers agree. I hear a lot of praise for pipewire, but it doesn't match what I experience. Does any system work well for anyone?

    To clarify, it can work. But it's a harsh experience compared to say Android. I've used Ubuntu, Fedora, and PopOS. I've tried a few different headphones, using Galaxy Buds 2 current. Pulseaudio tends to "do as it's told" but doesn't automatically switch to the right (confusingly named) profile. With Ubuntu 23.10, using pipewire, it does automatic switch profiles. Sometimes this works great. But very often, it gets stuck on on a profile or just stops working. I have to reconnect bluetooth to fix it.

    Is there some magic combination of things that works or is this just how it is for everyone?

    Windows PCs can't sleep properly, and Microsoft wants it that way
  • Interesting. The attack involves physical access cold boot attacks and messing with the ram. At that point threatening me with a $5 wrench may be more effective. But I get the idea and a very select few folks probably care a lot about this. Shame we can't just enable S3 in the BIOS.

  • Windows PCs can't sleep properly, and Microsoft wants it that way
  • You're going to hate that laptops like the Dell xps 13 specifically stopped supporting the better, older s3 sleep. Though in some cases linux may work well with "modern standby". It still isn't as good as s3.

  • Why Cities:Skylines 2 performs poorly [cross-post]
  • That description of the visuals is spot on. It's hard to describe because when you look at one asset, it looks great. But most of the time the overall feel is a downgrade. I'm playing on Geforce Now, so it's not on a low end device. The trees can model well, except when they are glitchy weird paint smudges rapidly shifting LOD for no apparent reason. Some roads look great while others seem lower resolution than SimCity 2000. CS 1 had a more cartoonly look but overall IMO can easily look overall better especially on lower end devices. The cartoon or pixelated style is easier to pull off with weaker hardware. Regardless I wish CO luck. Add bikes and make the LOD not bonkers and it will be a great game.

  • Cities Skylines 2 developer Colossal Order on bike support
  • You can make a city without private vehicles. There's pedestrian roads and public transit. Early on it looks silly seeing huge parking lots on low density commercial connected to a pedestrian street.

  • What's your experience with async Django?

    I'm curious to know how folks use async Djagno in production. Have you switched a project over? Fully or critical code only? What was your experience like? Was it worth it?

    I made an example app to demonstrate superiority in a confined test. I've found it quite awkward converting existing sync views to async. Fetching a limited queryset for json serialization is awkward [x async for x in values]. Some ORM functions, like get_or_create, appear to be just wrappers that call sync_to_async. Django Rest Framework doesn't support async and adrf doesn't support everything.

    What would be the best spyware free smart watch?
  • For me it's easily paying subway fare, seeing notifications, leaving my phone home for a quick errand (but could make a call if absolutely necessary). I have a small child, so having hands free abilities is great. If I could degoogle it and run only open source linux/android, I would. But nfc payments will never work with such a thing even if the software existed.

  • dentist rule
  • I listened to my dentist's advice to stop adding milk and sugar in my coffee. I now appreciate the taste of coffee much more, felt like reducing added sugar overall, and best of all I can be a coffee snob now. Win-win.

  • GlitchTip 3.3.0: Feedback survey, uptime port monitoring, issue fingerprint grouping
  • I'm glad it's helpful to you. I was toying with the idea of converting the backend to Rust. It's easier to write async Rust than Python. I believe that would allow me to distribute a small all-in-one binary - except for Redis and PostgreSQL. I have entertained the idea of making Redis optional. In trivial cases, it's possible to abstract a database ORM and use something like sqlite. But I don't think this would happen for GlitchTip. I'm currently using PostgreSQL specific features like jsonb. Of course contributions are welcome and with enough effort anything is possible.

  • glitchtip.com GlitchTip 3.3.0: Feedback survey, uptime port monitoring, issue fingerprint grouping

    GlitchTip 3.2.0 adds refinements for uptime monitoring and issue grouping. We also have a new user feedback survey.

    I'm the lead developer of GlitchTip, an open source error and uptime monitoring platform. This release includes port monitoring for internal assets like PostgreSQL. GlitchTip aims to be easy to self-host. We're compatible with Sentry SDKs. If you've found Sentry's backend too complex to run or prefer 100% open source code, give GlitchTip a try. We're always looking for Python, Rust, and TypeScript contributors. I'm happy to answer any questions.
