Re:Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026) on Friday June 19, 2026 @02:38PM (#48601715)
I am working on an iOS / watchOS app for runners, workout and fitness tracking. I found most apps not doing what I wanted and hope I'll be able to close a meaningful gap. https://runzone.app

https://todoist.com/ works very well for me, the tasklists and the boards.

I had to adapt and stick to my workflow though and cut the tasks into smaller digestible items or reminders. For bigger ideas I use notion for capture.

Haha, yes I‘ll tell the hospital that they are in fact at the wrong location and should consider moving to the address displayed in apple maps ;)

All easy except:

- Youtube —> can’t get around it

- Maps —> in few cases where apple maps is just not good enough (depends on where you live)

Don’t miss anything else 1sec!

Re:Moving my PC into my rack in a 2U case on Thursday February 16, 2023 @01:34PM (#34823339)
I have this as well https://www.yakkaroo.de/19-zoll-2he-server-gehaeuse-ipc-c236... with Noctua fans installed.

I run proxmox, opnsense (virtualized) and other workloads on it. It's really good and runs almost completely silent because of the Noctua fans.

The build quality of the case is lower end though with sharp edges!

Re:Ask HN: Why Did Medium.com “Fail"? on Friday February 10, 2023 @04:32PM (#34746177)
https://hashnode.com/ is close to what medium used to be, I suppose. Hope it will stay like that.
restic is great and simple to use. Use it for archiving my backups to Google Cloud Storage.
thanks for clarifying. disappointing then.
So either the google search is very good or the AI is not adding any value compared to a „dumb search“?

Which one is it?

There are many books available that can help you learn basic electrical concepts and engineering. Here are a few suggestions:

    "Electricity Demystified" by Stan Gibilisco
    "Electrical Engineering 101" by Darren Ashby
    "The Basics of Electricity" by Van Valkenburgh, Nooger & Neville, Inc.
    "Electrical Engineering: Principles and Applications" by Allan R. Hambley
    "Getting Started in Electronics" by Forrest M. Mims III
These books are designed to provide a general introduction to electrical concepts and engineering, and can help you to understand the basics of electricity and how it is used in various applications. They may also include examples, diagrams, and practical exercises to help you learn and apply the concepts in a hands-on way. I encourage you to read reviews and compare the content and approach of different books to determine which one is the best fit for your learning style and goals.

Is this useful at all?

--> Cookie AutoDelete https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autode...

Has been proven to be one of the best extensions I discovered in the last few years.

Enable 15s autodelete and only set exceptions for the few sites that you really need it.

exactly.
Re:New Features in the Fish Shell on Tuesday September 29, 2020 @02:55PM (#24631549)
Just enter "bash" when you need bash and exit it once you're done. Barely need this but sometimes it's useful.

Fish imho offers superb usability, wouldn't want to miss it.

Re:Fish shell 3.0 on Friday December 28, 2018 @10:01AM (#18777068)
Oh yes
