Re:Stop the Apple Music app from launching on Tuesday June 09, 2026 @05:45AM (#48458839)
To respect my folder structure and still have nice covers and playlists... - and playing all the usual formats… I use JRiver Media Center (99$) and FlacBox (iOS and MacOS).
iOS App 10€/month Hmm - no.
Time to buy a MeshTastic node?

And then there is Sheep It Render Farm. You donate render power when you don’t need your PC. Earn points for that. Then consume those point when you utilize 20++ parallel render pipelines from other peoples PCs when you want to render your stuff.

Re:Show HN: Sheet Music Management App on Wednesday September 20, 2023 @04:38PM (#37589835)
Interesting. But do I get it right: if on band rehersal or public gig, if offline, then no sheet music? Or is there local bufferung / offline mode?
Its local markdown flat files.
IMHO a very capable FOSS competitor for Obsidian is LogSeq (https://logseq.com/). I use Logseq since 6 month and love it. There also exists a Kanban Plugin for LogSeq, which I have not yet tried... https://github.com/hkgnp/logseq-kanban-plugin
Ah! Cool! Thanks for sharing. Didn't know this exists meantime...
https://www.meteor.com/ If you’re fine with MongoDB in the backend. Then you get a lot of speed in development and same language in backend and frontend. Plus view live updates on all connected clients as data changes in backend. And hot Code push to clients if new build on server available. I loved it when doing https://www.4minitz.com/ (retired FOSS)
Re:Run Clip on iPhone to Search Photos on Tuesday February 07, 2023 @06:21AM (#34691320)
For Geo-Location, maybe consider this workflow: User searches City in the iPhone Maps App (by Apple), then clicks "Share" button, then "Copy to Clipboard" - thenpaste this location into your app, you grab Longitude & Latitude from that and let users specify a radius. Bam! Complicated.... But no network needed.
Re:Show HN: I made a new AI colorizer on Wednesday October 19, 2022 @03:54PM (#33267188)
Thanks, this is awesome. Colorized a few last images of my WWII grandfather who died in this war. One observation: on download the MIME type seems to by PNG format, but the binary file arriving is actually a (lossy compressed) JPEG. But anyhow! Great work!!

This really deserves the "made with love" attribute. That guy is insane!!!

Quote from the Github repo:

_"The following criteria guided the development process:

Get the right glyphs. Like the actual ones. By now everyone's heard how the Matrix glyphs are some treatment of Katakana, but they also include a few characters from Susan Kare's Chicago typeface. The Matrix glyphs in this project come from the source: cleaned up vectors from an old SWF for an official Matrix product, archived back in 2007. That's how deep this rabbit hole goes, friends. (Please support the Internet Archive!)"_

Re:Let's Encrypt Service Disruption on Thursday December 02, 2021 @04:35PM (#29422992)
THANKS!!! My 4-month-pending update now works. :-) Amazing how you guys keep the web up and running, while the planet is "sleeping"... Reminds me of the Nightwatch guys.
Re:Let's Encrypt Service Disruption on Thursday December 02, 2021 @03:44PM (#29422252)
Believe it or not. I procastinated my update of certbot (ACME2) like about 4 month now. This evening I pulled all my enthusiasm to finally update... did a dry-run. No success. WTF??! Looking up and down... searched problem on my end... just to find out: ha! it's not me. OK. I'll wait. And check https://letsencrypt.status.io/

You rock!

Not true. It works. After some brain adaption. Then it’s fun. And what is jamming about? Fun! Not recording the next chart breaker.
Re:Jamulus ‒ Play music online. With friends. For free on Thursday November 25, 2021 @01:43AM (#29338821)
Other FOSS product that tries to solve the same problem and which worked a little better for us. (We tried both)

Anybody noticed, the inventor of the ZX81 of course died at the age of 81. So, he predicted this decades ago?
