I've tried to 'reverse engineer' some of our excel sheets, and it's difficult to get the model to stop scolding me for using so many =INDIRECT statements.

I loaded that on my T-Mobile Wing phone back in the day. Super impressive port. Would love to know the story behind it!

I've worked places where the paperwork to hook something up via Ethernet drove us to use GPIB or RS485 for everything.

Not only killed modding, but also killed the way those unique communities developed. I suppose it's possible you can find people on community Discord servers nowadays for pick up games, but not in the same way as just seeing and talking to the same people all the time on your favorite modded server.

My first concern would be using a digital ocean droplet as a VPN. Last time I tried that, datacenter IP ranges often made things slower or unusable.

The OS sounds like bluefin-dx, but I'm struggling to figure out who they're marketing to here. Seems like a small market that System76 already owns.

Why doesn't pip support PEP 723? I'm all for spreading the love of our lord and savior uv, but it should be necessary to have an official implementation.

That warning applies to anything you run locally. And going further, in this day and age, I would never put up any home service without it being behind Cloudflare Access or some form of wireguard tunnel.

Keeping an eye on this. I've been wanting something like this to manage an air-gapped system. I don't want to worry about keeping on offline apt repository (or what have you) synced, I just want to boot a full new image and mount my home folder.

Are there enough cores to allow user switching?

The original desktop app was all manual, but the web app has had auto-import from banks, credit card companies, etc.

YNAB is definitely very "opinionated". You have to convert to their "give every dollar a job" budgeting method, but I found really works well for me.

I moved off of Mint when they were acquired by Intuit, so I felt the price was worth it maintain full auto-import capabilities in an ad-free app. (The way Mint advertised at the time didn't really bother me, but I assumed that ads would get more intrusive under Intuit)

I switched from Mint to YNAB years ago, which I highly recommend.

Their Python module caches the downloads, which is checked before downloading them again...but you're probably not wrong on the crazy bandwidth bill. Looks like they have crazy VC money though, considering the current climate.

I bought a mid-range phone with flashy lights on the back. I'm apparently desperate for something different or interesting.

Yea, you buy this for the KORG aesthetic and the nice coffee table instruction book. You could probably get something equivalent at the tech spec level for $20 on aliexpress.
