Condensing some information so that others can benefit from my experience with importing CSVs into GnuCash. Having several banks means some difficulty in getting a proper overview of your finances. Hence, I use GnuCash to import all transactions and get a good overview of my finances. Getting the data into GnuCash is quite tedious though. Banks don’t typically provide API access.

The data contains interest rates at 5 years fixed term, 2 years fixed term, and 3 months fixed term (also called variable rate in Sweden) for those dates when any rate was changed. The first rates are from 1989-11-01 and the last are from 2018-02-12. Example of the data: 5y 2y 3m Date 1989-11-22 13.

In Gimp you go to Image in the top menu bar and select Mode followed by Indexed. Now you see a popup where you can select the number of colors for a generated optimum palette. You’ll have to experiment a little because it will depend on your image. I used this approach to shrink the size of the cover image in the_zopfli post from a 37KB (JPG) to just 15KB (PNG, all PNG sizes listed include Zopfli compression btw).
