AI destroys our lives. But it's great at one thing: classification. My new project is called Kount — and it's a complete accounting solution that sorts your invoices automatically, so self-employed people in Austria deal with way less bureaucracy. 🧵 ⬇️ kount.at

And since it’s 2026, Kount has an embedded MCP server that lets you upload invoices through your favorite AI agent and get useful insights into your company’s spending. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or almost any other AI tool.

Kount gets all the information about your transactions directly from your bank statements and allows you to link invoices to your transactions, so you never miss a thing. We support all the major Austrian banks + Revolut.

Kount can also generate all the required reports for you — U1, UVA, ZM, you name it. It can even generate an XML file that can be sent directly to FinanzOnline.

Here is how it looks. All your invoices are here, sorted and classified using the power of AI so that you don't have to manually calculate or fill anything. + your invoices are read and stored entirely in the EU — never sent to the US or China.

Absolutely amazed by this book about us living in the age of scam, slop, (tech) companies abusing their workers, AI bubble being inflated, and everything (including free internet) going to shit. Go read it *now*.

I need your help! What are the best accounts to follow on here? I genuinely want to know and want to be more active on here as well.

Started with monitoring legal changes in Austria. Ended up building a whole accounting companion for Austrian Einzelunternehmer:innen — AI-parsed invoices, deterministic VAT, reports that build themselves. kount.at — join the waitlist, launching next week 👀

Funny how, after years of camera improvements, iPhones still manage to produce the most boring, overly algorithmically “enhanced,” and excessively sharp photos. The first photo is from an iPhone, the second from a Ricoh GR III.

It comes with no ads, no tracking, no cookie banners, and no bullshit. Every single change in Austrian law gets fetched, categorized and rewritten in simple words in your language (EN, DE, RU, UA, TK, BCS, PL). RSS feeds + weekly e-mail digests in any language every week.

Btw along with Time Machine data, Restic also backs up the NAS configuration itself — so even in the event of a NAS or RAID failure, everything could easily be recovered (theoretically)

A conclusion after 2 days: it's an *incredible* device. Quiet, fast & inexpensive. This is what I've self-hosted so far: - Jellyfin for media - Immich for photos (to not pay for Ente cloud + iCloud) - Time Machine backups (to not pay for Backblaze) More to come! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkXZ...

In the last days of 2025 I was trying to pick the right NAS for the new apartment and ended up going with the four-bay UGREEN DXP4800. It finally arrived today! Let's see if it's gonna replace Backblaze, iCloud, and all the other services I don't want to pay for anymore.

Gonna start with some RAID-5 (btw the OS of it looks pretty easy and snappy so far)

Happy to share that my PhD project is finally published!🪱✨ Selfish genes are found across the tree of life. They can disrupt inheritance patterns and at the same time act as units for molecular innovation. Here we tried to answer one big question: how do selfish genes emerge in the first place?

That era is over — all of the Austrian government's main digital services are now available on a single website (oesterreich.gv.at) and have been translated into English. You can register at the new address, reissue documents, and sort out everything related to your e-card and pension.

One thing I want to admit is that I *hate* AI and what it's becoming. Another big thing that brings us one step closer to a dystopian future full of misery and lies being presented as something good and cool. www.404media.co/hollywood-si...

404media.coPeople Think AI Images of Hollywood Sign Burning Are RealAI generated slop is tricking people into thinking an already devastating series of wildfires in Los Angeles are even worse than they are — and using it to score political points.

Funny how the authorities urge you to travel by train instead of plane, and then you check the prices and realize that it's actually cheaper to fly from Vienna to Porto tomorrow than to take a train from Vienna to Salzburg.

Spain is designed to fulfill the desire to see richness and boldness in culture, architecture and just ordinary people on the streets. Definitely miss that intensity in Central Europe.

I tried Emacs, Vim, Sublime and even VSCode for quite a long time, but the truth is that nobody has invented anything better than IntelliJ IDEA (and its derivatives). Today I finally gave up and renewed my license, paying 101 EUR (+VAT) for Ultimate. Hats off to @jetbrains.com.

It's ridiculous how the UI here is so much more lightweight and simpler than in you-know-what. Possibly it's the magic of doing things from scratch using modern tech or better design from the beginning but it all makes *the competitor* a platform I suddenly don't like.

Some nerdy stuff to start this account right and set the proper vibe. That one is called “Andromeda’s Edge” and it’s the first board game I’ve played in a while.

You are up to date.
