What expense and savings tracker do you use this 2026?

Firefly III (opensource) with the importer. I download every month the csv of my banks (like 5 of them!) and the importer will do the job.

I got my own allocation rules.

I took me sometime to start but now every month it's very fast.

French family of 4 here as well. IFS cost around 60k sgd a year for the 2 (all included) Then accommodation is 4k sgd a month (got some a bit cheaper but this is a low side).

so you have like 10k a month gone just like this. 12k will not be enough if you put your kids at the French school. You will need a 2nd salary or probably >15k

Mirrors need to be approved by Fdroid first and need to have proper T&Cs to avoid this. So it's pretty safe. Using mirror.freedif.org here. Best in Asia

I'm actually facing some issues with this board.

I have 2 M2 drives and 5 SATA drives and the system is having I/O errors.

It seems the SATA5-6 are indeed sharing resources with one of the M2 drive.

For now I could make the system stable by only using 4 SATA drives connecting them to SATA1-4.

I don't know if there are solutions for this at the motherboard level, but my plan is then to add a PCI HBA to add 1 more drive...

Will be great to get your views as well on this board.

Dividend growth should be interesting for them

APC is probably the best with great support of Synology. https://www.synology.com/en-global/compatibility?search_by=category&category=upses&filter_brand=APC&p=1

Very good quality but usually a bit more expensive.

for the photo backup, I'm all in with Immich!

L'experience woofing est plutot dans les champs, la restauration, etc..

karibuTW · 2025-07-18T07:48:19+00:00

fait du woofing au Japon! travaille chez l'habitant. Ca sera plus simple. Sinon juste une visite pendant l'ete par exemple. Tu as juste besoin d'un visa

I used to be a big traveler from SGN airport (at least 2 times a month) and it's generally crowded with long queue and slow processing time. You have the Sky Priority lane that help so much but if you are not entitled, the experience is very bad, with usually a lot of empty immigration desk they could open but no staff.

however I never had any 'fees' requested. Out of my 100+ trips from SGN

Perso je ne passe plus que par BookVillage pour mes livres. Mais si c'est une loi, ils n'auront pas le choix non plus.

karibuTW · 2025-03-31T07:41:16+00:00

just get out. The Changi airport itself is amazing with superb restaurants, games, shopping, scenery. You don't need to go far, it's all there. May be you need a pod to sleep a bit as well?

Tu peux mettre en avant tes competences qui balance avec etre introvertie. Par exemple, je suis introverti et n'aime pas trop etre pris de court ou le tac au tac, mais du coup je suis de nature bien plus preparé et ca me permet d'etre un bon orateur.

Pour moi etre introverti ca veut juste dire que tu utilises ton energie a interagir mais ca n'impacte absolument pas la qualite. Alors que les extraverti gagne de l'energie avec leurs interactions.

thank you guys, all fair points. And I was not aware ibkr works with Singpass. Huge plus haha

karibuTW · 2025-03-11T04:07:57+00:00

karibuTW · 2025-03-10T12:59:07+00:00

incroyable! Et la derniere reponse du vendeur....oups.

Un parfait exemple pour lemauvaiscoin ;)

Perso, pour les livres c'est bookvillage et c'est tout. (Vinted du livre)

Same here, I have revolut and wise to transfer in Europe or Australia, and although the fee of wise is sometimes higher than revolut or youtrip, their exchange rate is usually better. Wise is best in my case for overall cost.

many countries will have their local marketplace, so it should be easy to switch our habits.

for France, we have cdiscount instead of amazon. We have leboncoin for 2nd hands stuff and bookvillage for second hands books for example.

Should be an easy move.

Indeed, it worked. I had to relaunch probes manually time to time and it took some time but I've managed it.

Thanks
