Mal<p><a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/Beancount" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Beancount</span></a> </p><p>This is the best double-entry personal accounting system, leaving any others standing in dust. The core of the system is a text database, which I manage in VSCode with the related extension, and of course I store the file in Github private repo.</p><p>From Beancount is derived excellent graphical reports system called <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/Fava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fava</span></a> - you don't have to use it, but it's also very cool.</p><p>For me, the spin-off value from Beancount is that, being a text database, it also functions as my diary. I can and do annotate it. My journal begins in 2009 and is uninterrupted. Those were important years of my family life, all recorded in perhaps obsessive detail.</p><p><a href="https://beancount.io/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">beancount.io/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://github.com/beancount/beancount" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/beancount/beancount</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://beancount.github.io/fava/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">beancount.github.io/fava/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Simon Michael<p>I like being able to use flexible, rock solid, industrial strength tools from the huge programmer ecosystem to maintain and analyse my financial records.

Tim Moore<p>Shelling this year's harvest of fava beans. I didn't know what <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/fava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fava</span></a> beans or also called "broad beans" were a couple years ago, but I found them while looking for food to grow that can save water use, that is, like plants from Mediterranean climate zones. They not only grow well during our Winter rainy season in So Cal on little supplemental irrigation but help improve soil fertility. They are also a plant that has been grown for 10,000 years. Why you don't see these in our McGrocery stores is explain by online search as this: They need to be shelled and then preferably par boiled and skinned. Oh no! Work. They are delicious, though, even raw, and they are nutritious. They taste more like peas than beans. Gonna probably make some hummus with this batch.<br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrowYourOwn</span></a><br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/selfsufficient" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfsufficient</span></a> <br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permaculture</span></a><br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/agroecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>agroecology</span></a><br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/organic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>organic</span></a></p>
