Whether they’re directly caused by an ADHD neurotype or not, all those things are associated with ADHD

To pick one at random, Rejection Sensitive Disphoria (RSD) is often found with people who have ADHD. People dealing with RSD often imagine rejection where none was intended. That includes reading negative feelings into text messages, conversations, etc.

(CAVEAT: I am not an expert. This is not my professional field. This is speculation from someone who has ADHD and is around ADHD kids) I don’t know if there’s good research out there or not about RSD+ ADHD, but I suspect RSD is conditioned. Growing up with ADHD, you get a lot of negative feedback from people. You aren’t paying attention well enough, you’re often clumsy, you often say the wrong things at the wrong time, etc. With enough of that sort of feedback, developing negative self talk which turns into full RSD sounds like a natural outcome.

Here’s another plug for gitea. It’s lightweight, but still has a nice feature set.

I tried hosting GitLab a number of years back, but it was more resource hungry than my host machine could handle well.

Nothing new. Nothing recent. Just people being scared of something because they don’t know how it works or because it’s relatively new.

Major distros have started adopting it in recent years. It’s one of many ways for a distro to manage which services are running. Many of the others are essentially a hodgepodge of shell scripts.

systemd provides a lot of flexibility with service dependencies and logging, amount other things. It has a standard way to have user-scoped services. It’s standardizes filtering logs for specific services.

For organizing and searching the files, I’m using paperless-ngx. It’s worked pretty well for these and for scanned documents.

My issue is getting the PDFs without having to spend time every month manually downloading them.

All solutions that integrate with banking sites I’ve ever encountered were nothing more but ugly hacks, IMHO.

Yup. That’s basically what FileThis provided. A maintained set of ugly hacks to pull the files for you automatically :D.
