same, a simple habit that is secure, I use it always with maximum privacy. One day you will be in a rush, under stress, affected by age, and use your old habits with a valuable asset...

These 2 are worth a careful look

  • ledger and its derivatives
  • quickfile

I am from the UK and been doing this for over 10 years, with a CSV general ledger.

I find the double entry accounting equation simple, but need meticulous book keeping and to fully understand the scheme of accounts to minimise the time spent preparing for tax, vat and PAYE along with annual financial statements to companies house.

To work on my own I follow the 'plain text accounting' principle, ledger seems good, but simpler for me to use SQL on a CSV file and a Rust program to handle MTD for VAT.

I've studied many accounting packages, all seem over complex and obscure the simplicity of the task.

To work with an accountant I would choose quickfile. It is remarkable, and one very smart person I expect to choose the best application uses it so I feel that it has credibility.

great finds, is this list curated anywhere?

Thank you for pointing out Davx blindly follows NET_CAPABILITY... which calls home. I avoid data mining apps but don't have a firewall to protect from these cases, may I ask what you recommend?

 

XC Tracer’s Koni Schaforth, for example, said: “We need an open collision-avoidance protocol.”

a text file? todo.txt format works for me. with a language sensitive editor I get colours and can sort.

 

Many thanks to Bartosz Ciechanowski. Last paragraph: "I hope this deeper, technical exploration of airfoils hasn’t diminished your appreciation of the greatness of flight. Perhaps paradoxically, by seeing how all the pieces fit together, you’ll find the whole thing even more magical."

xcsoar will run on your device as a native app instead of a web page. It has maps and will show the received traffic. if you are reading out as gdl90 this was for android but may help get it into xcsoar on linux

If you are limited to signal, its a problem users like https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/7643631 might not have.

Signal ties you into google or apple and mobile operator so I wonder what its benefits are beyond stopping Facebook monetising peoples data.

Good that you tried. Nix simple mailserver is really neat. I am very pleased with it. I feel something like stalwart might take years to mature, but worth watching.

I'd suggest trying FairEmail on your phone, https://email.faircode.eu/, before trying to set up an email server.

I would ask if you have good knowledge of IMAP. That allows access to a unified inbox from several devices and you don't have to own the server. It is far preferable to webmail for me.

I host my own email server and use many devices all over IMAP. If you need a server, nixos-mailserver is my recommendation. You could then try Roundcube on top but I bet you will use IMAP instead before you get there.

Great, please may I ask if you would share other sources worth reading.

I think previous Linux knowledge helps, just less needed for newcomers; NixOS has been described as capturing others' 20 years experience for us to use. Nixos-mailserver is a great example. I used that out of the box and only with user knowledge of NixOS, none of mail tools. Otherwise mail servers are too hard I gathered.

I've found lots more to learn about Nix for development environments.

You might want to use nixos-mailserver first for production - after my research I was gobsmacked at how quickly it went. I relied totally on NixOS. Your milage might vary but I'd be shocked if it takes less than 10 times as long another way.
