The accounting is very similar. The processes are not. Small businesses continue to be special snowflakes in terms of how they do their work. Both for good and bad reasons.
I’m surprised an open source accounting package hasn’t popped up that handles the accounting well. The backend could largely be the same (or at least modular) while the front legitimately needs to vary based on what type of work, how sales are done, whether they hold inventory, local taxes, etc, etc.
The author is identifying a technical problem (it’s become so cheap/easy to insert ads they’re everywhere). Technical answers? How about require that it be easy to opt out, or simply remove the ads from the content. Codify ad-blocking software.
And I like to give them kudos when I see Digital Ocean mentioned. I run a business in Puerto Rico, and host our ERP and some other services with DO.
After Hurricane Maria in 2017, I wrote off island suppliers asking for any support they could give. DO write back very quickly crediting us 3 months of hosting based on our prior billing.
And besides, the rep sent a very nicely written note wishing us the best. It was a very human response. Good people to do business with.
If windows don’t behave, I put them in floating mode with Super-f or Super-shift-f to toggle. As you say, full screen when they shouldn’t be, or vice versa. In practice, the only app I have issues with is Zoom.
The i3bar implementation, includes battery charge, network info, etc. a click takes you to gnome-settings, where you can make changes. One of the few changes I make to i3.conf is to move the bar to the top. Personal preference.
If you tried it and liked tiling before, regolith is worth a shot. It’s pretty well done.
I tried i3wm, a tiling window manager a few years ago, and it just sort of clicked with me. Eventually I set up a laptop with it, and decided I like it better than Mac. Around that time, Regolith was announced, and I found it to be a great looking, and great set of defaults and starting point. Gnome is still available if you get lost or break something.
Incidentally, I eventually arrived to using PopOS, and then installing regolith from the package manager. Working well so far.
The other problem is that even within one government there isn’t really “the” government. There’s office A and task group X and the prosecutor for this area and that special envoy and this law enforcement agency and that law enforcement agency and various courts, etc, etc, etc.
If you haven’t worked much with a large government, you don’t tend to realize just how fractured it all is.
And you need to configure i3br/polybar, amongst lots of other things.
I ended up on Regolith mostly to see how someone else who’s used i3 for a while sets things up. I’ve found I like it pretty well. It’s a nice middle ground. I may sometime go back to building my desktop from the bottom up, but Regolith has been a good way to get a working i3 setup to build from.
It’s also a very fast way to have i3 setup and use for a week to see if you like it. If you do, then you can build what you like. But if you start from building first, your initial time investment will be much greater.
