  • I totally agree with you that PTA is a-must to control finances but it not easy to analyze or understand in depth the financial situation (something that goes beyond the monthly or anual expenses, revenues, p/l… ). But information is there in the journals.

    I also migrated to just and it was a big change. I can think about the most useful-complex reports and make them available with a simple command to never forget them. And even when the report is displayed, the hledger command is displayed so I can remember/verify the meaning of the report. I have a bunch of reports I use often:

    • just common-expenses: all the discretional expenses (excluding taxes…) with my partner
    • just my-expenses: my personal discretional expenses (excluding taxes…)
    • just is: my overall inconmestatement
    • just is-job: my incomestatement of all the expenses (including taxes) against the revenues of my job. This report gives me my savings and I like this report because I prefer to assign the revenues of my investments to the ROI of my investments.
    • just roi: hledger roi ROI report of my investments

    I tried hledger-vega but it was a bit complex to maintain and to modify, but savings graph was really clarifying. It help me to understand what was really a saving in my journal.

    I will check https://hledger.org/scripts.html#hledger-combine-balances and https://hledger.org/scripts.html#hledger-bar. hledger-combine-balances is the first report I was interested in :).

    Yes, you explain better :-) The idea is that shell.nix is my development environment so I would like to use that shell.nix to interactive shells (nix-shell) and to run scripts (non-interactive use). I understand I could use a nix-shell shebang in every script, but that requires maintenance (when I modify the shell.nix file, modify the shellbang of all my scripts) and it is prune to errors (for example, modify the shell.nix and forget to modify the shebang of my scripts).







  • (I am the author of the comment in Reddit) AFAIK there is no instance of lemmy in fosstodon.org and there is no FOSS-only-purpose server in Lemmy.

    I agree perhaps lemmy.world server is one of the best options to locate the community due the size (size is important in the fediverse because higher servers are supposed less tending to disappear or to have funding problems) (https://lemmy.world/post/579472) and as @simonmic@lemmy.world said it includes the lemmy word. However, so far, there is no way to migrate one community from one lemmy server to another one and the only solution would be to create a new community in a new server and remove this one to avoid confusion (there are few posts so I think is a good time to do it).
