  • This looks exciting. I hope the transition goes well.

    I would say to get automated backups running on the first few before you do them all. Thats a luxury we get “for free” with cloud services.

    Note on firefly iii. I use it because I’ve been using it, but after using it for 4ish years, I dont really recommend it. The way I use it anyway, I think inserting data could be easier (I do it manually on purpose) and the graphs/visualizations I also wish were better. My experience with search functionality is also sub par. I would look at other alternatives as well, but I think its still better than not tracking finances at all. But I wonder if using a database client to insert data and python scripts or grafana to analyze the data would be better for me…YMMV

    Good luck!




  • I replaced my tabbyml code assistant this week with ollama+continue.dev. But I’m having issues with speed. I think this is because I switched from code qwen 2.5B (ish) to Deepeek Coder 9B (ish) and I think I’m pushing the limits of my GPU. Maybe I’ll spend today sorting out which models I want to use and which computers I want to use them on so I dont run into this issue (I’ve got ollama on 2 computers with 3 GPUs shared between them, for a total of 24GB VRAM)





  • When you do finally get into an installation (dual boot or live usb) just remember that this a whole new OS. And things that you thought about how “computers” worked was actually how “windows” worked. I just want to make sure you set expectations, because you could easily frustrate yourself when you start expecting things to behave a certain way.

    Hopefully, you learn a lot from this experience. I’m excited for you!










  • If you use functions that return result (like your main, but with a different error) you could remove some of the if let blocks with let num = part2.to_string().parse::()?;. That might obfuscate some of the conditionals so the statements are one after another.

    Cool project, let us know about the next iteration.
