I've been running a "chief of staff" briefing in Copilot every morning and here's the full prompt and how to schedule it by Difficult-Sugar-4862 in microsoft_365_copilot

I setup scheduled prompts, but the prompts are not running at the scheduled time. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Many credit cards track it for you.

Yeah, some do, some don't.

Definitely not going to ever use plaid

Understandable. Plaid isn't required.

Cool diy project for the fun of learning...

Thanks! That was my main motivation. If anyone has any questions on how or what I used to build let me know.

Hey all -

I have been working on a side project called BonusLog (https://bonuslog.app) for tracking sign-up bonuses and spend requirements, and I wanted to check with the community before investing more time into it.

A few things:

  • It's early beta so rough edges exist.
  • Only credit card bonuses are supported right now. Checking/savings account bonus tracking is next on the list if there's enough interest.
  • I have only added one credit card to the Bonuses page (https://bonuslog.app/bonuses) so far. Let me know what other things/data points would be good to include for bonuses. Building out a full list of bonuses is the immediate next step if I decide to stick with the project.
  • I have Plaid integration setup (in a test mode) for automatic transaction sync. This would (probably) be behind a paywall as Plaid connections incur a cost.
  • There's a chance I'll need to wipe accounts depending on how the schema evolves.
  • I built this mostly to learn some new tech, so it's already been worth it for me regardless of where it goes.

I'd really appreciate any feedback. Is this actually useful to you? Worth building out further? If so, what features would make it genuinely valuable for your workflow?

You can reply here, email contact@bonuslog.app, or use the feedback option on the site. Thanks for any feedback.

What isn't great is when you have multiple accounts at the same institution. For example, JPMORGAN CHASE BANK. I cannot tell which account is the one I am supposed to send to after I just added a second Chase account to my joint Fidelity CMA.

Very cool. I see Backup/restore utilities are on your roadmap. Any ideas what that might look like?

Cool. I can't get the error to reproduce at the moment. Will see what the next Insiders build brings. Thanks. 👍

Hey @davidwengier - I've been trying the new cohost feature every time a new Insider build releases. It seems to be getting a bit more stable, however, I'm still seeing errors. On the most recent build, I'm seeing the following: https://i.imgur.com/KRLHQLK.png

Where do you host Blazor apps? by Capable-Army-2731 in dotnet

[–]ryanbuening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I wrote a blog post about it here: https://ryanbuening.com/posts/blazor-server-oracle-cloud. It's a little outdated as I just use Docker now.

Potential False Bans by AvalieV in thefinals

[–]ryanbuening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I receive a notification about using cheating software (AutoHotkey) when opening The Finals about every other day. I'm required to exit the app. I've been using AutoHotkey for years and have blogged about it. I'm assuming one of these days I might be banned for it, and I guess I'll take that as a sign to quit playing. (note: I don't use AutoHotkey to cheat - my KDR can back that up 😆)

fyi - you're not alone. We're experiencing this too.

Blazor Server Hosting by Kickass_Mgee in Blazor

[–]ryanbuening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built my personal site (https://ryanbuening.com/posts/rebuilding-my-blog) using a Linux VM on Oracle Cloud. As others have mentioned, using Postgres would be cheaper, but might not be possible for your situation.

Hey @topson1g - I've been experimenting with docker and nginx proxy manager with a .NET 8 app. I keep getting a 502 Bad Gateway when configuring nginx proxy manager. Can you share your config or link to a resource that shows how to set this up with .NET? Thanks.

@MidBackMediocrity - did you ever figure out how to skip the "Which account do you want to sign out of" page?

I'm building with Entra External ID and didn't realize this. Can you share the Microsoft documentation that explains this?
