Re:Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2026) on Sunday May 10, 2026 @05:09PM (#48088070)
I am trying to better my understanding of Agentic coding tools and Tool using Agents by building my own, without relying on an Agent that writes said Agent/Harness

I believe writing my own "Toy Harness" is a good way to learn and understand these tools.

Other than that, I did plant my tomatoes today.

I just learned that you can use Super + Left Mouse to drag windows around and Super + Right Mouse to resize, due to this discussion. I have been using XFCE forever, mostly using hotkeys for tilling, and just did not know :D

Thanks !

Re:CorsixTH – An open source clone of Theme Hospital on Saturday December 27, 2025 @10:16AM (#46402432)
I really like Theme Hospital, it's also one of the few games that I and my wife played both in our childhood, so there is that.

Next time nostalgia Herz über give corsix TH a try.

Oh neat, I will add it to this list, when I come online l8r today!

This is exactly the kind of Website I was looking for, when I started that List a good while back. :)

You might be looking for an android based Media player device.

But they are likely not ideal for the use case...

Re:I hacked my clock to control my focus on Monday May 12, 2025 @02:59AM (#43960319)
I've added an hourly chime to my work computer's clock, similar to a Casio wristwatch. It's a subtle reminder of the passing time, prompting me to pause, reflect, and reassess my actions to stay on track and avoid procrastination.

I like this constant on screen reminder though and might give it a try myself :)

I personally don't host my own Mail Infrastructure, If I where forced to do so, I would probably run a Mailcow.

Especially the "dockerized" Mailcow is reasonably easy to setup.

You will still have to setup SPF, DKIM and the other DNS records. But Mailcow is a solid package!

Re:Show HN: Wiv.js – A library for a more wiggly div on Tuesday December 25, 2018 @07:20AM (#18757153)
I opened this on my Notebook, and it's Fan spun out of control!

it might be my ancient hardware, but this is rather CPU intensive it seems.

But the effect is fun, and cool non the less!

(on Linux, Xorg + Frirefox)

I am currently working on a side project that aims to provide the defunct on-line / multiplayer functionality for an old game.

The positive feedback and joy I get back from the community, is really awesome :)

Also fiddeling with unknown file Formats and stuff, reveres engineering and re implementing defunct stuff is great fun :D

Re:Securing your Linux web server on Tuesday February 20, 2018 @02:24PM (#16423257)
Yeah, it is security through obscurity, I do it anyway on my Internet facing systems because then I don't have to bother with most automated SSH Scanners.
Re:HAProxy 1.8 on Wednesday November 01, 2017 @07:11PM (#15606339)
HTTP2, Multithreading and finally no more lost TCP Connections on Service Reload!

Awesome! Thank you!
