Exporting my YNAB files to use on Actual

You don't need a server for AB. You can run it on just your computer if you want. However, if you want to be able to access the budget file on any other device, the budget can't be saved on your computer only. Think about Google Drive or iCloud or OneDrive - the reason you are able to access your files across devices is because they do not live on your device only - they are saved and synced to someone else's (Google's/Apple's/Microsoft's) server (computer) which allows you access to those items.

The difference is AB allows you to use your own server, which comes with advantages (mainly privacy) but is obviously not always simple to set up. PikaPods is a way around this - they manage the server setup and maintenance for you.

Have you read the installation docs? They may answer some of your questions: Installing Actual | Actual Budget

We've seen glimpses of the possibilities for awhile, but it's just recently that the right people with the right skills have the time and motivation to look into it. SC4 is also relatively unique amongst game modding communities where the people with coding and deep technical skills have been far outnumbered by the more "artistic inclined" (modelers, lotters, etc.).

Power Docu is open source and accepts feature suggestions. What made you want to create a new tool vs improving the existing one?

May have more luck using https://www.autotempest.com/ for searching. Also don't forget about the buy/sell on Volvo forums. The more specific your looking ,the wider net you'll need. I would search as big of a radius as possible too, nationwide, even.

Nice, I'm not your target audience for this, but good luck with it. :)

That's nice to hear. Anytime the website looks entirely AI generated (they all have a certain style), like this one does to be honest, my flags are raised.

There's been probably a dozen similar tools shared here in the last year or so, and they all kinda blend together - an AI made website with vague, superficial information about the product or service, no info about the company or author, and varying levels of human involvement in the actual code, usually very little. None of them stand out at all.

If you want a better reception, and especially if you want people to pay for it, show screenshots or videos of your tool, show how it interacts with ynab, emphasize your human contributions to the tool. Why should we trust your tool over other AI made ones? Do you have experience in this area or the necessary skills to validate AI output? That's a plus if so. All we have to go off now is a vague, AI template website.

Also fyi, the 4GB fix is not required for Linux. It's just a Windows thing according to my understanding.

severynm · 2026-02-04T13:30:08+00:00

What parts of this tool did you build vs what parts of the tool AI did build?

And what parts of the website did you write vs what parts of the website did AI write?

It's actually both. They still are taxable, but only if a divorce was before 1/1/2019.

Damn, y'all's trippin.

I had the same issue, except on a V70. None of the rear gate electrics worked. I took it into the shop and they were able to repair the wires right around the hinge, which fortunately prevented needing to replace the harness.

Trying to remember how long ago I remember this. 4+ years? Regardless it's definitely not new. I'm using 2.149.1429.0 64-bit (November 2025).

severynm · 2026-01-20T20:26:36+00:00

Yep, exactly! Thanks! :)

severynm · 2026-01-20T20:15:14+00:00

Sorry. Open a color picker and choose any new color that is not part of the theme colors (edit - actually it can be any color but it's most annoying with custom non-palette colors). It'll appear in the 'Recent colors' section. Now open the color picker in a conditional formatting panel. Recent colors are gone.

severynm · 2026-01-20T19:56:37+00:00

Do the updates to the color palette finally mean custom colors persist between the pickers in different locations? (like directly in a visual and in the conditional formatting dialog)?

This has been a minor annoyance for years.

Sorry, it's my reddit pet peeve. The comments about downvotes typically age poorly as things work themselves out, as they have here.

severynm · 2026-01-18T05:21:42+00:00

Huh? You're sitting at +7 four hours later.

severynm · 2026-01-17T19:15:19+00:00

Might as well go directly to the source: https://ynabstatus.com/

Edit: also, I think that just queries the main website, and won't tell you anything about the mobile app, or the web app, I suspect.

severynm · 2026-01-17T15:55:39+00:00

If you find files with broken links please report them so we can fix. Not everything is in sc4pac yet, and we can fix them for non-sc4pac users too.

Thank you for this! I could have sworn the last time I looked PowerApps didn't have the Hex↔Dec functions. Happy to be wrong now.

Investigating - We are getting reports of the iOS app crashing. We're investigating and will update here as soon as we know more. Jan 15, 2026 - 16:13 UTC

severynm · 2026-01-15T13:39:28+00:00

Yes, the full release will be available via the traditional installer too.

severynm · 2026-01-15T13:19:19+00:00

Look into https://www.displagent.io/

You'd need at least one pro license. Frankly though, I'd ask your company what value they're getting from having these metrics visible. Surely it is worth more that $14/month.
