  • Lemmy is all public. There’s no private timelines, so any 2way block would be superficial anyway right? A blocked user can just log out, or use a different account on a different instance. It’d give people a false sense of security if anyone said bidirectional blocking was a thing.

    Something like Twitter could have bidirectional blocking because you can also make all of your posts private.

    My bank (credit union) actually has a decent transaction tracking service too. It even lets you add other external accounts to it.

    It’s honestly not bad and probably similar to the one you’re using. My main concern is wanting to move that data to something local instead of relying on the bank’s interface. For example, some (or most?) banks don’t let you get your entire account history and limit it to the last X years instead. And if I ever move banks, I don’t want to start over and lose historical data.

    I really like Talos (and Omni from the same people). I’ve tried a few different kubernetes-specific distros and Talos seems pretty good. It’s really lightweight in what it comes with by default. It’s also nice that I don’t need to really manage the nodes themselves - I can create yaml “patches” to set things like sysctl options or iptables rules instead of having to also set up something like ansible to manage the nodes.

    Cozystack adds a bunch of stuff on top, I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet though.

    I think the 3-node requirement is mostly for etcd. It’s possible to have a 1 or 2 node cluster, you just won’t have the same HA redundancy for the control plane.

    The biggest roadblock is that without a large user base, ble tracking is very limited.

    A lot of people use ble tracking inside their home with home assistant, but it wouldn’t be useful outside the home without access to more sensors(other users).

    You could diy a small gps+cellular device, but the battery would need charged or replaced more often. Maybe something like LoRa instead of cellular.

    I’d be interested in alternatives too, but am sticking with samsungs tracker thing for now.


  • Thanks for sharing your scripts. Could you create an account in firefly-iii that is just the overall value and have a script that takes the balance from ghostfolio and updates it in firefly-iii?

    For Plaid, I went through the process to apply for “production” access and get oauth access to most banks. It really wasn’t bad at all. I basically just said I was going to use it for personal use, not selling anything, and not letting others use it. I haven’t used it much, but did get it approved relatively quickly.
