Thanks for all your answers! I will check some of the alternatives to duckdns.

I have a domain… but I think DynDNS is not always available for every domain or by every domain seller?

In my case, there is no IP change. However, the TTL of entries seems to be 60 seconds and when Cloudfare/Google asks for the new A record, it sometimes fails. I am getting this error message from Cloudfare when I try to solve host.sub-domain.duckdns.org

After 8 months, the lemmy PTA community is quite quiet. Perhaps Discourse is a better solution to move people from Reddit, Email lists…

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 :).

I don’t know what I was thinking on to type it 😅

I would say it is Government Parental Control, the government is your parent 😆

I track the investments with the “@ notation” since I came to hledger from ledger-cli and I don’t see any clear improvement to convert it to “standard postings with equity:conversion accounts”. Any improvement? only to get to balance the book?

perhaps it is a bit verbose IMHO

AFAIK immich organize photos with albums not in folders. So, If i move from immich to another software (librephotos, photoprism…), the new software is aware of albums? I am worried on organizing my photos every time I change of photo management application.

this is more or less my current workflow but i feel that is quite difficult to use/find photos in my android phone due to the lack of one android app.

Firstly you must understand what is double-entry book keeping. Then, you can do double-entry book keeping wirh many tools, one of them is Plain Text Accounting (PTA) tools such as hledger.

My personal path to PTA was firstly read the manual and use Gnucash. It is also a double entry accounting tool but not plain text. I understood accounting principles and then I moved to PTA.
