For that very reason I tried selfhosting Actual Finance[1] but it is more of a budgeting app than a networth tracking app.

I ended up coding a small exporter[2] since I already had some stack in place that queries SimpleFI[3], which essentially allows querying balance and transaction information for most US-based banks (read only); most similar to plaid but a lot more developer-friendly afaik.

Do you have any experience with plaid to compare it to simplefin by any chance? I started a similar project with plaid before, but haven't really gone back to it since dev accounts became a lot more limited.


I could not find a way to make or enroll as a dev in plaid; that was a while ago tho.

SimpleFIN on the other hand seems to be pretty good for dev work; plus very responsive in terms of questions and requests. Can only speak good of them.


Thanks! I don't remember the exact steps, but I remember it being a PITA to sign up for plaid. I managed to get a dev account before realizing you can't use most banks without going through a more thorough verification/approval process. To do that, you have to (I think) have a paid account.

SimpleFIN looks pretty.. simple, at least from a glance. When I get time, I'll actually give it a shot.


I'm on the same boat with this.

We already have crappy written apps waking up devices on OEM software, last we need is random agents on the internet waking up our phones.


Tailsacle also has a series of performance optimization and wireguard testing blog posts; considering some of their late offload additions, and even though they use userspace wg, I find it hard to believe they are nowhere in the same perf ballpark, but I could be entirely wrong here...


From the article:

> Apple even says its new GPU is a match for Nvidia's RTX 3080 mobile chip, though you'll have to take Apple's word for it on that one. We've also reached out to Nvidia to see what it might have to say on the matter.

> RTX 3080 mobile chip

> mobile chip

There's a 50%[1] (!) difference with mobile and non-mobile versions of the chip. So that's hardly a deal breaker.

The "mobile" scam in GPUs is terrible. Nvidia flat out lies about Mobile performance by giving misleading product names (same as the desktop names).


its beyond that. the same chip might have several tdps and drastic performance differences between models, such that a high tdp 3070 mobile is faster than a low tdp 3080. you end up having to get benchmarks for each particular laptop configuration.


Sometimes, Sometimes not. I can imagine everybody taking out the phone to check crypto prices as soon as the words were said


I'm guessing you correlate that if peolpe didn't play games, they'd instead have time to do other things more meaningful to contribute to society, which is naive at best.


Yeah hurts so bad. Going to take some aspirin now.


Have not experienced that at all, and subject talking had been using slack (and loved it) for a couple of years before corporate forced us to use Skype for business. Made me reconsider career choices.

When I joined my cureent employer and they told me they were all into teams, the trauma from skype was still lingering.

But to my biggest surprise, it's actually fine; I'd even go the lengths to say it's good. Has most, if not all, features I think a developer would expect in 2020, plus they just work (at least so far).

Hard to believe msft could pull off something like that having seen skype for biz before.


Thanks for sharing.

Life is full of these should-I-take-this-train moment.


Just run any of the reclaim series. Pure gold if you ask me.
