I use Freeagent here in old Blighty, mostly because the accountant likes it and it does an OK job importing from the bank. Would prefer a lightweight FOSS solution though, neither GNUCash nor h/ledger seem to fit the bill, particularly

The tax receipts from individuals are a tiny fraction of those paid/due from large entities. The cuts are not due to individual tax dodgers, they are politically motivated.

So... nothing's ideal yet? How does cooperation work with org-mode, taskwarrior or hnb (mentioned below)? Are you describing a more general problem with local productivity software? A simple sharing service, version control or rsyncing

by luxpir 11y ago
Yep, that checks out :) Just a thought. Would sharing the files via Dropbox (shudder) or similar (rsync/syncthing) work on your devices? That would then rely on a local text editor to edit or just the built-in web-browser if you automa

Nice suggestion. That's the kind of software I really appreciate atm - I'd never seen this. Looks a little like taskwarrior with some interesting features? I won't test-drive it at this point though because I don't see i

I can see why you might not have made it to the end - I get tunnel-vision when writing sometimes. That's the edited down version! I think there's a lot of mileage left in the emacs + org-mode for productivity discussion, so I can

Cheers, no I appreciate that. I mention my issues with org-mode in the post, but it's mainly for simplicity, portability and to save time learning and configuring (and reconfiguring between versions). It's explained a little more

Any questions on this I'm happy to answer. The link to the examples repo is at the end of the post, or here for convenience: https://github.com/luxpir/plaintext-productivity Summary: A to-do list and calendar temp

Except you need a variant of org-mode to use the file on another device, right? I've just posted my 'plain' plaintext file setup[0] if anyone cares to remark. -- [0] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1093

Sounds like it works for you (almost as much as you work for it :) - don't suppose you'd ever consider a simple textfile setup to capture and sort the same data?

That's not surprising. I suspect HN and similar fora are self-selecting for the type of person who would perhaps consider their own use of tech as the pinnacle of its application. Myself included, most likely. I just read yesterday tha

Not necessarily broken, but certainly outdated. What do you think about spam, encryption, attachment sizes? Imagine being able to publish your email address online without worrying about spam; even in your profile you've been forced to

Your point could still partially apply to vim. But my main train of thought on reading this, as well as the sample configs offered above[0], is that it really is much too complex for my needs. The amount of configuration and maintenance r

This is what I was getting at in my rambling comment here... Is it really worth the time investment when an 'augmented' text file is enough?

I might have to finally try it if so many people are claiming life-changing effects! I don't create or edit code for a living, for the most part, but I do use vim to edit workstation/server files and side-projects as well as a fai

Maybe they are too polite to say, but I had a quick look at the profile and followed some links to the home page[0] and Patreon page[1]. Also really enjoyed reading the first chapter of Decrypting Rita! Best of luck with your work. [0] - h

It was probably 'enjoyable'. That was one fault that didn't stop me reading on. While we're at it though, 'Checkout' used incorrectly did stop me, however, because in the software context 'checkout' c

That page needs a proofread! Hope it's not causing you to lose conversions there. Nice and snappy though, seems like you did a good job with the generator.

Accepted that SQL security is pretty optimal with statics. How about security of your data when buying through 3rd party JS stores, commenting through 3rd party add-ons, being tracked by 3rd party snippets, etc. Hard to deny that the additi

Haven't done any benchmarks myself, but I'd be keen to find out if a static site loaded up with JS design elements, a product store, comments and analytics code would load any quicker than a CMS with PHP caching, system caching an

I can give you a hand. UK born and bred, translator/writer and familiar with 'converting' web copy. Just a once over to get you started, if you like.

Quick note that with hourly, or more frequent, cron jobs you get quasi live data. Mentioned a little about logimport in a recent post on stripping external calls and pointless js/css/font loads from our site. Otherwise well put, s
