Instead YouTube gives me literally nothing but AI spam. :/

I scrolled down a bit more and got this: https://i.postimg.cc/fJcPhG45/Screenshot-20251118-150802.png

I kept scrolling until I ran out of relevant results. Not a single video was legit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much AI slop in one search term and by the gods there is a lot of crap on YouTube.

Anyone have a good comparison video? I’m just wanting a decent comparison of Actual, Firefly III and possibly HomeBank. Feel free to also give me your 2 cents on whatever you use :)

    I’m a lazy bastard and I don’t self host for a lot of reasons. I use Actual because it’s close to the old YNAB and has a desktop version (AppImage, I know it sucks, I don’t care).

    It has a list of transactions, and a budget with envelopes. That’s all I need and it’s fine.

    As for the others:

    • Firefly wants me to use Docker, I don’t have time for that and I don’t have a server
    • Homebank has a weird dev process on launchpad, no releases, and wants me to disable uBlock Origin, fuck it

    And the slop is the reason I don’t use YouTube anymore. People seem to enjoy that dead internet because it looks like TV.

      Appimage is perfectly fine for smaller projects that don’t have the resources to support different packaging formats.
