В какой-то момент я заметил, что сам учет финансов в Obsidian меня полностью устраивает, а вот сбор исходных данных для него каждый раз отнимает лишнее время.Схема была простой и довольно утомительной: открыть несколько банков, посмотреть остатки по счетам и картам, потом перенести эти цифры в свои заметки. По отдельности это мелочь, но в регулярной рутине такие действия быстро начинают раздражать.Я решил автоматизировать именно этот участок. Мне был нужен локальный и... Read more ›

В первой статье я рассказывал историю «деда из деревни», который вместе с внуком поднял свой почтовый сервер вместо Gmail — на обычном VPS, с доменом, DNS‑записями и всеми сопутствующими приключениями.

Enter 1994, when a company called Iomega introduced its variant of... Read more ›
