Simon Michael<a href="https://joyful.com/Lot+tracking+in+PTA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://joyful.com/Lot+tracking+in+PTA</a>Tracking investment lots is often necessary to calculate capital gains accurately and to comply with tax law. It's a tricky, increasingly widespread bookkeeping need. This page aims to be a useful guide to the topic, for PTA users and PTA developers.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/plaintextaccounting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plaintextaccounting</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/hledger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hledger</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/beancount" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beancount</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/bookkeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookkeeping</a>

Vedang ManerikarI do the books of our tiny, tiny company. Because it's so small, I can get away with using <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a>!What an absolute delight it is :D One hour every month, well spent!<a href="https://ledger-cli.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ledger-cli.org/</a>

saxnotZumal TaskWarrior eines dieser Projekte war, an denen super wenig entwickelt wird einfach weil das Konzept bereits gut umgesetzt ist und weitere Ergänzungen von dieser "rohen Idee" hätte abgewichen.Im Grunde war es ein Renderer und Batch Peocessor für die flat file database. Ganz ähnlich z. B. <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a> ebenfalls nur ein Renderer der flat file database ist und sich das alles sehe unix-style und clean anfühlt.Lieber hätt ich Zeitumstellung (DST) gesehen

Anachron :void:I've come to the conclusion that some problems that look easy to solve are harder than I expected.I am writing a <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/plaintextaccounting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plaintextaccounting</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a> transaction merger which basically tries to merge you moving money from one account to your main and then somewhere else into one transaction based on date and sum.But it has to work both ways and I'm still looking for a way how to save this chain of transactions without using redundant loops.Curious on what I will end up with.

Anachron :void:My <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a> utilities rewrite (<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/plaintextaccounting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plaintextaccounting</a>) is going great.It already supports 4 transaction types: Credit, Debit, Transfer (Account > Account) and Reimbursements.Will need a bit of rethinking for a hook system though.

Claudine C :antifa:For all the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/plaintextaccounting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plaintextaccounting</a> / <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a> / <a href="https://aus.social/tags/hledger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hledger</a> nerds, there's now a forum at <a href="https://forum.plaintextaccounting.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://forum.plaintextaccounting.org/</a>

HabrЛичные финансы в формате txtЯ давно подсел на Obsidian , и мне очень понравилась идея хранения данных в человеко-понятных форматах вроде TXT или Markdown. В таком виде вы не привязаны к конкретному инструменту и вам не надо делать экспорт данных для резервных копий. Данные сами по себе остаются готовые к чтению или модифицированию. Чего мне не хватало, так это хорошего формата для хранения финансовых данных. И тут, открыв очередную трэш-статью , начав читать гневные комментарии, наткнулся на человека, который ведёт расходы в TXT формате. Причём технический человек, со знанием программирования. Это показалось абсолютно тупейшим решением, но... в комментарии ниже, другой человек отписал, что тоже использует TXT для ведения личных финансов. И это уже было подозрительно. Начал изучать вопрос и наткнулся на ledger-cli .<a href="https://habr.com/ru/articles/794386/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://habr.com/ru/articles/794386/</a><a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%81%D1%8B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#финансы</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%81%D1%8B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#личные_финансы</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/ledger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledger</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/plaintextaccounting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plaintextaccounting</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D1%83%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%82%D1%8B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#утилиты</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D1%81%D0%BE%D1%84%D1%82" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#софт</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a>

Anachron :void:I already reinstalled :void: linux in my Android phone using <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/proot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#proot</a> and will transfer my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a> setup to it soon (with Bank account TA marching+import) so that I can update my finances on the go.Will also probably copy it over to my tablet as it has a real keyboard.Now I need to connect my tablet and phone so I can sync them without Internet.I will be so happy once its working.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/commandlineaccounting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#commandlineaccounting</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/plaintextaccounting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plaintextaccounting</a>

Anachron :void:Seems like 2024 will be the year of barely any manual work left for my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a> setup. Now I will start working on my mobile ledger setup. For this I will have one merged file that is for mobile only, sync to mobile, then sync back on the laptop and import TAs not known to the laptop setup.Since TAs on my laptop have a reference and UID I can easily figure out which come from mobile. This will also help me in my holidays, as I will not be using the laptop setup then.

TevisI biked 4,042 km in 2023. 44.1% of that was for recreation; 55.9% was for utility (with 32.0% for my commute). Almost all of this was on my Raleigh Record Ace.I spent $417.37 on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cycling</a>, including building new bike stands for my office. That's $0.103/km, or $0.185/km if you only count utility cycling. Compare to about $0.40/km driving!I used <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a> to track distances and expenses, and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gnuplot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gnuplot</a> for the graph.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/biketooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biketooter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/utilitycycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#utilitycycling</a>

Anachron :void:How do <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/plaintextaccounting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plaintextaccounting</a> users in <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a>, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/hledger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hledger</a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/beancount" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beancount</a> handle ETF prices? There are pricedbs for general currencies but none for ETFs that I was able to find.Before I reinvent the wheel I wanted to know whether I missed something? Feel free to boost!

Anachron :void:So on my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/plaintextaccounting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plaintextaccounting</a> setup I now convert csv to shell to json to ledger ... because why not?The real reason is this allows me to have a single line per recurring transaction which I later can easily convert to the ledger format.Granted it's a bit verbose (I need to specify both the value and currency format) but I can just omit what I don't need so most lines are around 90chars long, which already includes my IBAN as well. [1/2]

Anachron :void:My new <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/plaintextaccounting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plaintextaccounting</a> setup converts my bank csv files to json and then matches fields and fills the missing fields, so that I always have the same fields to work with. I made a quick and dirty hack to serialize and deserialize from shell to json and back to shell vars.

IanTwentySpent some time wrestling with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/cPlusPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cPlusPlus</a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/debugging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#debugging</a> in <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/gdb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gdb</a> to give <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ledgerCLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgerCLI</a> the ability to cope with the UK's mad tax year.

Anachron :void:Ok I need help.I am currently at the 2nd rewrite of my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/plaintextaccounting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plaintextaccounting</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a> tooling and still find things I don't like/enjoy with this setup.It's like 200% better than the first iteration though.Let's hope the time invested will be returned. At least I had to reread the full manpage and online manual so I already learned/remembered some things I already forgot.

✨new✨ handle :astrokurt: 🎏Can you ever get kind of excited about personal finance management/bookkeeping? It turns out yes.After a quick read on YNAB, I think I see what people use [virtual transactions] for now in <a href="https://social.thiskurt.me/tags/hledger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hledger</a> and <a href="https://social.thiskurt.me/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a>Interesting, but I don't think I'll use it, I don't need pre-defined budgeting, I will use the regular hledger budgeting for recuring monthly expenses starting next month, though.

Claudine C :antifa:I keep flip-flopping between <a href="https://aus.social/tags/YNAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YNAB</a> for convenient envelope budgeting and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PlainTextAccounting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlainTextAccounting</a> for version-controlled portable data that's fully in my control. I'm considering going (back) to <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HLedger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HLedger</a> (used it for a couple of years, used the original <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LedgerCLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LedgerCLI</a> even further back) but as I know <a href="https://aus.social/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#python</a> I'm wondering whether to try <a href="https://aus.social/tags/beancount" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beancount</a> in case I want to hack my system further.Any opinions/experiences with the three plaintext accounting heavyweights? Or tips for making envelope budgeting less painful in this ecosystem?

✨new✨ handle :astrokurt: 🎏I've started doing <a href="https://social.thiskurt.me/tags/plaintextaccounting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plaintextaccounting</a> not sure yet if I'll mainly use <a href="https://social.thiskurt.me/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a> or <a href="https://social.thiskurt.me/tags/hledger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hledger</a> the journal formats are nearly identical so I can keep it mutually compatible for now.It'll depend on the differences of the formats and the tools, but maybe the tools aimed at ledger-cli will just work anyway?

inderA case of tumbling into a rabbit hole from inside a rabbit hole. While I was understanding <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emacs</a> I discovered <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/plaintextaccounting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plaintextaccounting</a> and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a>. Now I’m migrating my finances to this from last few days.

rixxWhat's the state of the art in bookkeeping with <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/ledgercli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ledgercli</a>? Do people tend to use ledger-cli directly? Are there frontends that you'd recommend or warn against?What are good sources to look at, particularly for best practices? I found <a href="https://rolfschr.github.io/gswl-book/latest.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rolfschr.github.io/gswl-book/latest.html</a>, which looks great and comprehensive – anything else?
