Killer feature: add audio transcription. Record that meeting; just tell the app what you want to remember. It gets transcribed and then processed like any other note.

Re:Using GitHub Actions in Self-Hosted Forgejo on Thursday March 19, 2026 @09:03AM (#47438693)
Needed to figure out why my actions weren't working as I expected, so I decided to write-up my findings. Hope it helps out someone.
Re:Vibe coding is not the same as AI-Assisted engineering on Monday December 01, 2025 @11:35AM (#46109433)
Coding is also not the same as engineering.
This repo and accompanying website have a pretty high vibe-coding look & feel.

How is this at version 3.0 in just two months?

Tried installing Cachyos yesterday, was playing Arc Raider like 15m later (mainly because I had to wait on the 30GB download). Zero issues so far. Next up is to see if Rocksmith 2014 wants to play ball.

Re:An update to our pricing on Monday April 21, 2025 @04:42PM (#43756249)
With Windsurf I'm able to pick any of the premium language models. I.e. Claude 3.7 Sonnet costs 1 credit / prompt, whereas the thinking model costs 1.25 credits, and o3 costs a whopping 7.5 credits.

It's simply passing on the cost of respective model's costs, I think. I can image it's hard to come up with an affordable / interesting flat rate _and_ support all those differently priced models.

My theory is this: the washing machine uses residual heat in the washed items to get them to dry. Plastic cools down too quickly to dry them completely. Mugs, plates or metal items stay hot longer.
Re:Ask HN: Replacement for Rackspace SMTP Hosting? on Tuesday March 04, 2025 @03:02AM (#43251699)
I've been running mailcow for a long time to _receive_ mail. Sending was hit and miss. For a long time I could relay through my ISP, but that got me into delivery problems as well.

Now I've been relaying through Mail.baby/Interserver for 18 months or so and it works great. $1/mo base fee + usage. With the <100 mails me and my family send that adds up to $1.01/mo.

Not sure where you are, but 30kmh sounds Dutch. Filming the public road from your private residence is illegal.

In practice, no one cares. Cops will even ask you nicely for footage if something went down in your street.

Anyway, best of luck with your project.

And we have always been at war with Eurasia.
Not sure if this is a parody or serious...
Re:Immich Joins FUTO on Thursday May 02, 2024 @04:17AM (#40233871)
From the article it appears that there will be an optional "pay-whatever" feature soon.
Meh, this feels more like marketing than open source. The "free" on premise hosted version is limited. Also, no mention of "apps", like inventory, stripe, PoS, etc. for the self hosted version.

Edit: it seems the on-premise version supports apps: There is no app included in any plan. All apps must be purchased separately from the App Store.

Re:I fixed my broken monitor with a hair dryer on Friday May 13, 2022 @05:25AM (#31365110)
It's not uncommon for solder joints to get damaged due to heat stress. It happens to BGA compontents too when not properly cooled. The hair dryer may or may not have provided enough heat to fix a small crack (I didn't look up the temperature a hair dryer provides).

Did kind-of the same with my Philips TV a while back. Still going strong.

Now, imagine storing that on 3.5" floppy disks...
Well, I do. So there's at least one of us.

Then again, I grew up having my birthday in the "herfstvakantie" and the habit kind of stuck :-)

Google Takeout works fine for that. It zips and splits everything in chunks. Didn't have any issue extracting 57GB worth of photos a gew months back.

Or talk to him in private afterwards? Like adults? Explain how his _behaviour_ affected you and possibly the candidate as well.

There's lots of reasons people act the way they do. Don't assume you know what his reasons are - talk to the guy and be open to have your mind changed by what he has to say.

What kind of software/tools are you using? I'm curious to get into this as well.
