I think Activity Pub has a clear leg up in that you can be as decentralized as you're comfortable.

Want to go full one-person instance? You got it. Want to host for your friends and family? Covered. Want to host for the general public? Can do. Don't want to host at all? Pick your open instance and join the fun.

There's also Incus, but if you'll be using your TrueNAS box to host the containers, I suggest you stick to Docker as it's the default. If you're building a second container box, Proxmox, Docker, Podman, and Incus are your best bets. Choose what fits your expertise and needs best.

Thanks! Was it always not federated? I thought it was, in is halcyon days. Might be just my faulty memory though.

I was just confirming. It seemed to me that use had tapered off completely. Glad to know that's not the case. In a way, Lemmy is essentially a reimplementation of Usenet. Decentralized, federated forums.

What server do you use?

And we went back to it being used as forums?

But do they live in caves, though?

My previous bank used make it easy to import them, but ever since I've moved countries I've just been doing it by hand. The banking system here sucks.

When I started, it was only GNUCash as a free option. Never tried anything else. It fits my needs as a family very well.

There's no mobile or web access, and that's fine for me. Updating it is something done once a week or less for me anyway.

I manage mortgage, virtual account for kids allowances, budget for future expenditures, and have a set of reports that I refresh to keep tabs on my money and goals.

I use GNUCash with the file on a NAS. I've been using GC for over 20 years, I just don't see myself changing soon.

That's what I was looking for! Thank you.
