Agree, in fact this wonderful book calls this out, stating:
As DuckDB is an analytics database, it has only minimal support for transactions and parallel write access. You therefore couldn’t use it in applications and APIs that process and store input data arriving arbitrarily. Similarly when multiple concurrent processes read from a writeable database.
You are basically saying "Don't use any native apps, ever". With chrome profiles, links are just opened in whatever profile window was last active (this is on Mac OS, but I think others are the same). It's the one thing keeping me with chrome (brave).
I'd be glad to, but I'm not sure yet how helpful it would be to do so here, without just sharing the full spreadsheet. Which I would need to clean up and anonymize first. It may be very particular to my needs. I drew inspiration from many other "YNAB spreadsheets" (searching reddit etc.) I can say that learning the SUMIFS formula to sum the relevant transactions for a given envelope was a big key to making it work well. The other details are polish around it. I'm afraid that this might not come across very clear. I found that the more that I desired a certain feature and searched for how to do it in Excel or Google Sheets (or Libre Calc, but there is less specific resources for that) then it gave me the next bit that I needed.
My problem is opening links from apps. Sometimes I want a link in Slack (or other desktop apps) to open in my personal profile and sometimes I want it to use my work profile. With Brave/Chrome, the link will open in whatever profile window is active. I can't find a way to make this work with Firefox.
This is years ago now, but every ampersand in my passwords came across wrong. I can't recall if it was missing or url encoded, but even passwords weren't safe.
I want to as well, but annoyingly there are many sites that insist on a "special" character because their strength measure says "low" for the 20 character alphanumeric string I generated %-}
My favorite is when they actually limit what special characters you can use. Must include 1 of x special characters. Why? I always just assume they baked their own password storage and couldn't figure out how to handle the whole set of special characters
Multiple times I've found that this is caused by a web application firewall that is intended to mitigate SQL injection attacks. So they disallow the characters that would commonly be used in those attacks.
On those sites, I generally insert the same fixed uppercase-and-symbol string on my zbase32ed-entropy passwords. Zbase32 tends to produce numbers already, and that combo tends to satisfy the silly sites.
Could you provide your reasoning for the switch? I've had good enough luck with duplicacy but I'm curious about it vs restic now that restic supports compression.
Heroku was the original gold standard for git based app deploys, but never for scheduling tasks. Here's a link to the documentation of Heroku's supposed "cron alternative" : https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/scheduler
It only supports hourly, daily, or every 10 minutes and it isn't even guaranteed to run. I would see it skip jobs more often than I expected, maybe 1 in 20 at times.
Supporting actual cron is way better than anything Heroku offered.
