The World lost a Legend Today
2
Does anyone know of any decent accounting software for Windows and Linux?
  • 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.

  • OSS calendar servers/clients that don't suck?
  • 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?

    Interactive article explaining the physics of an airfoil and what makes airplanes fly

    Airfoil – Bartosz Ciechanowski

    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.

  • Webmail server with multiple mail accounts
  • 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.

  • Visual Studio Code alternatives for Linux?
  • I am on the path VSCodium --> Lapce under NixOS for visual editors and to decorporate my workflow. i.e. away from VSCode which is [otherwise] exceptional.

    However, Helix looks incredible.

  • Lapce: Fast and Powerful Code Editor Written in Rust
  • I have started to use Lapce (it is a bit beta) to displace VSCodium which will take time. Just discovered Helix editor as a possible daily driver. Both are in Rust and I run under NixOS.

    I am also new to Lemmy and happy to be guided as to good places to learn and share more information about all these tools.

    As a random tip:

    git config core.worktree ${PWD}
    

    Helps view --separate-git-dir repos in Lapce and VSCodium for me.
