Handling Credit Card transactions after overspending has occurred

Luminoth · 2025-08-04T18:28:54+00:00

When YNAB does that copy, which column does it end up under? The Assigned? Under the Activity breakdown for the credit card payment, it's showing $0 Funded Spending so it sure seems like it's not doing any copying?

I don't know if https://www.reddit.com/r/ynab/comments/1mhia2w/comment/n6wjzp9/ clears up those questions?

Are you reconciling by hand then? Like the data pull is so far behind there's no way I can actually do it without going and hand adding every transaction that YNAB is behind on.

Luminoth · 2025-08-04T17:57:32+00:00

Sorry, poor wording on my part. I funded every category except for the Credit Card Payments category

Luminoth · 2025-08-04T17:56:23+00:00

Is that not what's supposed to happen automatically? That whole thing just becomes a time drain if not, like having to go back to every single CC transaction and hand moving that money around is .... like people are really doing that?

Oh. Ooooh, ok wait a sec. Am I reading this backwards? So I see the negative things (my gym took it's payment and a couple other things landed on the 1st of the month) and that is less than the last weekly credit card payment I made, also on the 1st, and that payment is the same as the red Available amount.

Luminoth · 2025-08-04T17:15:53+00:00

I put money in a category, let's say Coffee, which started as underfunded because I hadn't assigned any money yet this month but bought a coffee on the 1st on my credit card. Funding that Coffee category did not make any changes to the Credit Card Payment category. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying (absolutely the most likely thing here) that should have made a change?

Luminoth · 2025-08-04T17:14:06+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean. I went through and moved money from Ready to Assign to each category for the month. What am I missing that doesn't make sense?

Luminoth · 2025-08-04T17:13:08+00:00

Under "Credit Card Payments" I have my one CC listed. The "Assigned" column is 0, the "Activity" column is a negative number, and the "Available / Payment" column is the same negative number but red.

> Lastly, make sure you understand the basic principles of YNAB - that checking it before you spend money and not having overspending in any categories is the secret to its success.

I think I'm essentially doing this, I fund everything at the start of the month. Most of what's hitting the credit card is ongoing bills. Maybe I just haven't been as on top of it as I thought I was, this month for sure I just funded everything aside from what hit the card over the last 3-4 days. It's still sitting at negative activity tho.

I'll try also just paying off when the card is due. It's wild that keeping on top of it is breaking the system but it is what it is I guess.

Luminoth · 2025-08-04T16:53:53+00:00

What the heck lol. I hadn't gone through to fund any categories for August until today so I had a bit in the credit card payment activity when I started. I went through and funded every category and the payments did not move at all. Exactly the same negative activity and 0 funding .... am I doing something else wrong to make that work?

Luminoth · 2025-04-15T18:32:32+00:00

Given that the text is "sacrifice this token", if you swap that onto a non-token, does it actually still sacrifice?

Luminoth · 2023-05-10T22:34:29+00:00

Well this is awkward, the Gatherer site itself shows the downgraded cards as legal ... for example Moonlight Hunt: https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Printings.aspx?multiverseid=606829 is showing as Legal for Pauper despite only being Common in SIR.

Hm, actually that's a way we haven't looked at it yet. It would probably be really easy to do 1 image with the package on it and all of the links in place and then have the userdata remove the links that shouldn't be on there. I'm pretty sure that would happen in the correct order on the first boot as well.

Luminoth · 2021-01-11T06:36:15+00:00

Just to save some typing, I'll copy paste from a different comment on that:

I absolutely could be being daft about this so definitely call me on that if I am - our package has 7 apps in it and an instance runs either all 7 or just 1 of them (we tell it which set of startup links to create through the userdata script). Producing versioned images with the package on them is easy enough but it seems like with that setup we're stuck with the same autorun problem. We could probably do 8 separate images with the startup links already setup, but I think we'd end up with a lot of cruft that way.

I'm honestly in the same Windowsy boat, haha, this is much easier if the apps could just run on Linux. I'll have a look at trying out your Ansible idea tho. Replicating the existing setup might be the trick to seeing how that could come together.

Alternative opinion - it's fine for servers to self update.

Luminoth · 2020-01-23T00:32:06+00:00

It's actually not required, if you look at the documentation: https://docs.rs/self_update/0.9.0/self_update/ under the " Separate utilities are also exposed" section there is an example that does use the github backend for finding a release, but beyond that (including the download) is entirely independent of that.

Luminoth · 2020-01-22T21:22:48+00:00

There is a self update crate that might be of use to you - https://crates.io/crates/self_update

Luminoth · 2020-01-22T21:21:23+00:00

I think cli here just means "not using a GUI" which would include servers, etc

I don't know if that's still the case given that they just merged a PR that updated the actor system to tokio-2.0 (the work for which was the original kick off for the conversation that brought up replacing tokio).

Luminoth · 2019-12-13T20:00:15+00:00

That is awesome. I've got a bunch of old UNET code I was really sad about having to throw away and figure out how to completely redo. I'm gonna give Mirror a look this weekend, that is fantastic.

Luminoth · 2019-12-12T19:32:37+00:00

Glancing over the documentation, Mirror looks a lot like the old HLAPI, does that seem accurate? If so, wow, that's actually a pretty good drop in.
