I can’t recommend Monarch strongly enough. It is a service that aggregates across bank accounts, brokerage, credit cards, etc. The killer feature for me is that it provides overall money in/money out, with some good visualizations too.

Seconded. The Yoto is great. It also supports arbitrary MP3 assignment to their NFC cards. It’s all proprietary but has been rock solid over multiple years.

I grew up in a small town in the US before cell phones were ubiquitous. When we started getting cell phones, the numbers all had the same first six digits. The last four were assigned in order of provisioning. My friend and I got our phones

You should take a look at https://fastmail.blog/2018/09/10/access-and-assistance-bill/ . They say it doesn’t affect their customers.

I switched from Gmail to Fastmail back in 2013 [1] and haven't looked back. Fastmail has continued to make significant improvements, while keeping the interface lean and functional. It seems to me like $3/month is worth it for a s

Essentially zero. It's not well-advertised, and I only started it in earnest earlier this year. My Technical Notes blog ( https://tech-notes.maxmasnick.com ), which is a similar idea but much more random in content, does get

Unfortunately I don't have a good way to reveal the source of my site as there are some things in that git repo that can't be made public. I too have struggled to find examples of doing more complex things in Hugo. It's such

Yes, unless you have my weird requirement to use an Apache server, I think something like Netlify or GitHub Pages makes way more sense.

It's somewhat convoluted and custom to my specific hosting setup (I use https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net because I want an Apache server so I can use complex redirects). Essentially, the GitHub Action builds the site and th

Sorry about the bum link (it's fixed now). The simple answer is you can download zips of the entire OneNote notebook from the OneDrive web interface.

For a while now I’ve been using “someservice.com@account.mydomain.me” when signing up for accounts. I use FastMail for my email hosting, and they allow you to turn on wildcards for any custom domain. I don’t get any spam because it’s at a s

This is new to me too. Thanks, I'll take a look.

Yes, it's got some really nice features but it is a little clunky/complex compared to Zotero. I would try out Papers first before looking at Bookends...Bookends can work great, but it does take some work to set up. Also, Bookends

zotfile is a must-have for Zotero! Thank you for making it.

Never heard of it before! Looking at their website, it does seem like Citationsy is somewhere in-between a full-blown reference management application and one-off bibliography creation applications. What Citationsy does not appear to do is

Probably Papers is your best bet at this point. Zotero will let you send PDFs to/from a tablet with the ZotFile ( http://zotfile.com ) plugin. This works well if your workflow is (1) find PDF on your computer; (2) read on tab
