Web Personal Finance App
  • I hadn't heard of this. Looks like we're finally getting some sort of standard API implemented. It's about time. No reason folks should have to use Plaid or other to link accounts or pull data easily.

  • What 2fa Authenticator should I use?
  • Huge fan of Ente Auth as well. Completely open source and available on F-Droid. Offers encrypted backups with cloud options so you can easily restore between devices if needed.

    I swear it used to state if they ever had to charge for it free accounts would be grandfathered in, but now it just says free. Guessing the photo service covers its cost.

    Ente photos is also awesome. I'm a huge fan and subscriber.

  • What are your Homelab goals for 2025?
  • Migrate from Unraid in a massive tower to a proper JBOD rig in a rack. Finally set up ARM SBC k8s cluster for most things alongside the old x86 hardware for a few services and running the NAS as I don't know how I'd hook that up to the SBCs.

  • Gamers Nexus might start including Linux gaming tests in their hardware reviews
  • Changes aren't lost on update. If you enable a sudo user/password, and make changes to the system that way, those changes can be lost when applying the new system image.

    Its an immutable Arch-based distro and you have full readwrite to your home directory and all config, settings, and files within persist.

  • What's better than GOG Galaxy?
  • That will depend per game as far as I know.

    Native vs wine/proton locations will vary and even when emulating windows some games use "My Games", "My Documents", %APPDATA%, etc for the save file location.

  • What's better than GOG Galaxy?
  • Regarding cloud saves, Heroic will let you download or force download them. After that you would just need to place them where they are expected for the game.

    I use Heroic on desktop and deck and am a big fan personally.

  • I made a local APT repository that automatically fetches DEBs and AppImages from anywhere
  • Neat project!

    While this might not solve all of your use cases, did you consider a tool like mise?

    Theres a number of other options out there such as asdf-vm and others who's names I can't recall. I recently moved from asdf to miss but its a great way to install things on different machines and track it with your dotfiles, or any other repo you want to use. Mise has tons of configuration options for allowing overrides and local machine specific versions.

    It won't tie into apt for your upgrades but you could just alias your apt update to include && mise up.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • This is all spot on. Listen to this kind internet soul.

    If you don't want to finish uni, nothing wrong with not doing it. "To get a good job you have to finish college" is total bullshit, and so is "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life".

    Find a career that interests you if you can, but more importantly go a route that will let you lead the life you want. So you can work and then have time for your hobbies.

    So many trades are well paying and you might find them more interesting than they seem on the surface. For me, making things (physical and software) tickles my lizard brain and for you that could be electrical work, mechanic work, software, plumbing, engineering, sales, etc.

    Some will need a degree, some won't but one day you will find something in between "I don't hate my job" and "this is awesome work". That is where you want to be. Then you can figure out if you like hiking, building models, wood working, gaming, fitness things, disc golf, reading, golf golf, etc and

    Life's not a race but you only get the one so make sure youre doing what works for you. What works for you can be shockingly hard to figure out but its worth time putting in the effort to do so.

    Definitely get professional help. Its scary to talk to someone or even tell your parents you think you need to but its worth it. Therapy really helped me out. Good luck and remember you're not alone!

  • What's A Piece Of Software You Could Never Do Without?
  • Check out zed or lapce. Both are open source but native editors as opposed to chromium with near first class vim support. Much faster but less stable as neither are 1.0 yet. Additionally they have great LSP features.

    That being said I just can't give up my vim and terminal workflow but I'm actively following both projects.

  • Double check my Linux gaming build Update w/ Build pics
  • Hmm I've got a similar setup. TV only on and used when I want it for certain things like rhythm games. Its not a great TV and 4k60 is its max but that seems accurate based on mangohud.

    3 monitors: 1 display port, 2dvi Optional HDMI TV.

    Check your cable perhaps, but also the HDMI forum sucks and prevented AMDs open source driver (https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/hdmi-forum-to-amd-no-you-cant-make-an-open-source-hdmi-2-1-driver/ )for proper 2.1 HDMI support. Additionally many TVs have a "gamemode" or low latency mode that might help.

    That said if you mean your system itself is struggling and not the display on the TV, I don't have a clue what it would be.

  • Double check my Linux gaming build Update w/ Build pics
  • The build looks solid to me, with the caveat that I don't keep up with hardware unless I need to buy it. So, I'm not super knowledgeable about what parts are specifically the best and as to why, but I've been on an all AMD linux only gaming rig for a few years now and it works really well. I'd have to recommend sticking with all AMD solely so you have to do less (if any) fussing with drivers. All distros and installs are not the same, but most should have you situated and in a good place.

    I've been using Plasma 6 and Wayland since Plasma 6 was stable. IMO, you shouldn't have any issues using Wayland in todays landscape.

  • I m not the depressed one but feel powerless atm.
  • Depression is tough. Being a good partner during it is really hard. Make sure youre taking care of yourself while you're trying to help him.

    SSRIs are different for everyone and its important to evaluate how they might be affecting him with a professional. Keeps encouraging the therapy!

    Alcohol can also affect the way SSRIs interact with their mood. It may provide temporary relief for the tough feelings but it will in, nearly all cases, result in a dependency cycle. It will bring his mood down and have him wanting more to readjust.

    I'd ask that he abstain until therapy and meds can be evaluated/adjusted if necessary. Its a tough ask when things are that dark for someone, but it would be helpful to go into therapy with as close to a baseline mood as it can be.

    There's going to be better days and worse days. For him and you. Try to help each other through the next few months. You might be pulling more emotional weight, but don't look at it that way if it can be helped. Something easier said than done.

    Good luck.

  • I'm looking for a privacy respecting vacuum robot
  • I'd definitely recommended valetudo, but wanted to mention that eufy has some easily repairable non WiFi vacs that work reasonably well with no smart features. Eufy has a rough track record regarding privacy with their other smart products but can't spy without a connection.
