For those of you who are into #PlainTextAccounting: Which software are you using and why?

I'd like to finally start personal accounting again. I stopped when #YNAB became SaaS. YNAB's "envelope budgeting" worked really well for me, and I'd like to get back to a similar workflow. (Or, if you think you know something superior, let me know!)

I'm very open to comments and suggestions here, but it has to be open source software.

Oh the _feels_ when reading this announcement!

I was one of the GNOME project’s first sysadmins, back in the days of a single CVS server running on a machine hosted at Red Hat’s office.

It’s amazing to see their journey to the cloud!

Italian filmmaker @_elena is on a mission to bring more people into the fediverse. Today she dropped a brief explainer video for folks who aren’t familiar with it:

Because I’m deeply embedded here, I’m not a great judge. But it feels pretty approachable for new folks. Just enough to shake hands.

It’s lovely to see folks building things to help the fedi grow.

Anyone else's F-Droid doing this?

It just refuses to update the last program that needs to be updated. It can update 10 of them no problem, but the last one/only one will always fail.

Note: this toot will be deleted (or have its media removed) in one week to save space.

P.S. It has the same behavior even after clearing the app data (essentially the same as deleting and reinstalling the program).

This was my first decent, proper go at @ardour on #UbuntuStudio
...its just a dirge of effected guitar jamming through the Line 6 Helix. Now what is weird is how the Helix isnt class compliant (as far as I know) ..which means someone with the UbStu developers is using the Helix.

Anyway, nearly 7 minutes of me making a fool of myself on the Palm Bay.
