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.
