Is there any explanation why it has decreased in size?
Tabby.ml also works well
Kagi allows adding a token to the search url. This way you don't have to log in on your work equipment.
Maybe someone wants to earn some karma by pasting the content of the tweets here? Similar how it happens with the archive.ph/today links.

I am interested, too!
This is great! I would love something like this for Hong Kong. The prices here are very volatile due to special offers, etc.

Any plans to add other countries?

I would suggest using a tasmota smart plug and check energy consumption to determine if program has finished.

This can be changed in the BIOS.
Re:Ask HN: What's your "it's not stupid if it works" story? on Friday December 22, 2023 @07:33AM (#38733529)
As a 12 year old: I tried to overclock my first "good" own computer (AMD Duron 1200 MHz). System wouldn't start at 1600 MHz and I didn't know BIOS reset exists. I ended up putting the computer in the freezer and let it cool down for an hour. I placed the CRT display on top and the power/VGA keyboard cable going into the freezer. I managed to set it back to the original frequency before it died.
The number of Public Reprimands by the German Press Council do not confirm this view. For 2023 there were 20 reprimands for Bild and 0 for Die Zeit.

My theory was that they operate at loss and they don't want increase that loss by offering it to adversaries.

I have moved my files to a managed Nextcloud instance. Important to me is Linux support and Nextcoud works better for me than the alternatives.

Not ideal but I use Invidious and redirect any Youtube search results to my Invidious instance. Go to Kagi settings -> advanced --> Redirects and add

I use my own Invidious instance. yt.oelrichsgarcia.de is from https://docs.invidious.io/instances/#list-of-public-invidiou...
This is a similar project from Karlsruhe University:

I do wonder what operating system managers of Microsoft use at home and what they think about stuff like those pop-ups.

Underlined link not working FAQ: > How do I start using PrettyPolly to learn a language quickly?

1. Select your desired language in __the app__.

Get one with preflashed Tasmota. They are local connection only.

Re:Irish town unites in smartphone ban for young children on Saturday June 03, 2023 @04:56AM (#36174923)
I would love something like this for my kids. Are there any ways to support or at least find movements like this?

Maybe I should look for cases where smartphone bans on school/village/town level and but them all together in a link list.

Interesting! Whenever I am in a more active investing phase I feel like I don't have the data available I would like to have for making decisions.

I am getting 'Database error: Unknown error' when trying to run a query. Maybe too much load at the moment.

Regarding the sign-up form: You expect the input to follow the format '888 888 8888' including blanks. I would consider dropping the phone number altogether or at least allow other formats.

Re:The Kagi Family Plan on Saturday April 01, 2023 @01:37AM (#35397465)
My 7 yo uses Kagi. One thing I would like is an option to turn off videos as the first search results.

Maybe hide them behind a link.

This is how I track the time I spent on projects by analyzing the window titles.

1. Create a list of product names and folder names for each client.

2. Change settings of applications/window manager to include more details in window title.

3. Log every window I interact with.

4. If I don't open a window including one of the keywords in the title for x minutes I stop the counter.

What I like about my subscription of the German weekly newspaper 'Die Zeit' is that they allow sending the mobi directly to your Send-To-Kindle-email address.

Are you aware of other magazines offering that?
