I need a recommendation for a budgeting tool that makes it easy to get your transactions into it.
I currently have a Numbers spreadsheet with recurring income and expenses. But there are some estimations here and it’s not giving me a clear enough picture.

I’m totally fine with paying for services. I do it all the time. I probably overdo it. BUT…
I’m a little miffed at IFTTT. I was using a free integration for the past year. Then it suddenly quit working. Turns out they decided to charge for it now.
Look I can sympathize with trying to price a SaaS. But saying something is free then charging me after I’m relying on it isn’t cool.
Luckily it’s easily replaceable by a cron job.

It looks like IFTTT quietly made webhooks a pro feature.

Anyone know how I could get a Windows VM on a cloud somewhere that I can use as a virtual desktop?
I see Azure Virtual Desktop but it’s so heavily targeted at businesses that I can’t figure out what I need as just an individual.

What do you call an in-joke that’s more of a reference than a joke? For example, this sentence:
No one outside the group understood why the cat was named Foobar because his name was a [word that means inside reference].
Or maybe “inside reference” is right. I don’t know.
