Evropská komise navrhla dvě řešení na podporu finančních potřeb Ukrajiny v letech 2026 až 2027. Jedním je půjčka od Evropské unie, druhým reparační půjčka zajištěná zmrazenými ruskými aktivy v EU.
ℹ Návrhy, které jsou podpořené několika legislativními texty, podle Komise zavádějí řadu záruk na ochranu členských států a finančních institucí před možnými odvetnými opatřeními ze strany Ruska.

韓国の、最近はグルメ動画ばかり撮ってる有名な歌手、ソン・シギョンが日本のテレビに出て歌を歌って、その歌声を好きになった日本の人たちがyoutubeでソン・シギョンを検索しても、ごはん食べてる動画しか出てこないという現象が起こってると知ってほっこりした☺️

Today's entry: ledger(1) & hledger(1)

I primarily use ledger use for my purposes¹ but try to mostly keep my data-files in a form that hledger can process them too.

Getting started involved a crash-course in accounting terms, but the use of positive/negative numbers (rather than "debits" and "credits" which always bugged me; though both have ways of specifying that output should be in credit/debit format) eased the transition.

While it started a little tedious, a few helper-scripts and shell-functions simplified adding new common entries and gave me lazy access to common reports.

I still struggle a little bit with closing the books (I though I'd figured it out, and documented it², but had some hiccups so I'll need to revisit my documentation in January)

But it's been incredibly helpful to see and track our household net worth, spot trends, keep tabs on gift-card balances that would otherwise get forgotten, track invoices sent to clients, and it simplifies balancing the checkbook monthly.

I see quite some posts on the topic of on the . My opinion, in its simplest form, is that connects people. In open, transparent and, yes, free ways. Think of AP as TCP/IP, but for people

With that in mind, note that TCP/IP itself has no features for monetisation. That is done on top of the protocol. This is how I would like to see monetisation in the fediverse too. As a separate thing on top of AP, never as inherent part of AP. My 2 cents (pun intended)

"sharedInbox endpoints SHOULD also be publicly readable OrderedCollection objects containing objects addressed to the Public special collection..."
w3.org/TR/activitypub/#sharedI

I disagree with this SHOULD, would downgrade to a MAY.

Minor, mainly because consider a small instance, whose users do not show their Following collections, this could basically leak who the follows are.

That said, I haven't found any Software that does have a publicly readable sharedInbox!
