  • Using the SAS cards instead of the FC controllers should be fine, but it will be a different beast. The MD3600 controllers are basically your RAID card and you use a SAS HBA to connect to it. The virtual disks are configured on the MD3600 and exposed as LUNs to the hosts over FC. If you put plain SAS controllers in the storage chassis instead, you are exposing all the bare drives to the host. That is how I would do it if I were in your shoes and then would just create ZFS arrays over those bare disks. If I were going to try and have multiple hosts using that storage then you would need to stick with the MD3600F.



  • I use hledger mostly because of the plain text format. I came from YNAB as well but I just hated how you couldn’t easily undo changes or see when you made a change, etc. This is so easily to track changes and you can add comments explaining your reasoning around things and you can keep everything in source control so you have all the power of that as well. Not for everyone but if you’re a programmer or just comfortable on the command line it’s great.

    Yeah it is but it’s a pretty capable laptop. I’ve replaced mine with a Framework 11th gen for my daily use but my T480 is currently hosting 10 VMs for my homelab. It’s got the base CPU, i5-8250U, 64GB of RAM and a 4TB SSD and is plenty of horsepower. I really only got the Framework because I was excited about the product and company, not because I was unsatisfied with the T480. I highly recommend it.



  • Not sure if you’re into command line tools but I’m using hledger and have emulated pretty well the YNAB envelope method and I’m liking it quite a bit. Using plain text for transaction journals is amazing and has solved some of the ambiguity I felt when using YNAB. Tons of information here for this type of accounting method. And look here specifically for implementing the envelope method with these sorts of tools.

    No phone apps are available as far as I know but depending on your technical expertise you could provide reports from a webpage pretty easily.
