What process do you use to sign your binaries?

Lazygit. Nice TUI for git.

If I were a traffic cop, I’d pretty much just enforce this one law. All day. Every day. Left lane squatter? Straight to jail.

I used to do this when on Windows too: C was for the OS and apps, D was for user data. The same principle here - separating OS from data is a game changer - and even easier on Linux I think. Makes it so easy to wipe a partition and try something new.

Nice try, FBI.

I really like Mona.

I do that too, but it is nice to not have to retype everything. For $2, well worth it.

I, too, looked high and low for this. Switching credit unions every year or so when they’d stop offering access. I finally gave up and started using Plaid. They grab all transactions from all my various accounts for $2.16/mo and shove them into Moneydance. Not what you asked for, but it works.

They claim to (and some aren’t horrific), but they don’t work as well. So far, nothing beats Mona and Mastodon - hands down.

I ran a Pleroma instance for a while. I gave up because the application support wasn’t great. Now I run a mastodon instance - and the app support is much better. The resource usage is a non-issue.

Gotta make sure John sees this…

I run my own Mastodon instance. My wife uses it too. It is open to my family, but none have moved this way yet - more of a “not using mastodon” than “not your mastodon”. Easy to link to other instances. I use a docker based instance of mastodon with the db and nginx running on an Azure VM running Ubuntu. Easy to patch, and update. I spent days getting it running right (learning, tearing down, rinse, repeat) but now it is a few minutes a month maintaining. Let me know if you have any questions.
