I created an AI skill for this a while ago: https://www.dsebastien.net/garmin-ai-skill/

Same. Also reminds me of similar apps I used heavily and all of it vanished with the rise of streaming platforms
Re:GitHub's new dashboard experience now the default on Saturday October 03, 2026 @11:31AM (#49945160)
I built ghradar.dsebastien.net recently because I needed something like that
Re:Show HN: Craigslist for agent skills, curated by a human on Thursday September 17, 2026 @04:17PM (#49745936)
Yes there definitely are.
I created a custom status line to see/track everything I need: https://github.com/dsebastien/claude-epic-status-line

That avoids surprises

Counting things

IMHO understanding terms and concepts matters more than ever
Re:How Claude's text watermarking works on Saturday August 15, 2026 @02:56AM (#49308379)
We should watermark everything we create, AI-generated or not. This might shield our content from being stolen moving forward
You can create those manually but if you want to enforce those then you need the subscription
Yes and they have a specific subscription for managing sandbox policies across the enterprise: Docker AI Governance
The one thing I wonder about is how you enforce the usage of Docker Sandboxes vs running the agent on the host directly, apart from scanning machines for binaries

Re:What it means for an API to be RESTful on Thursday July 30, 2026 @11:07AM (#49111135)
Certainly not perfect build we wrote this spec for the National Bank of Belgium a few years ago. Served us well.

True :)
Re:Writing by hand is good for your brain on Thursday July 23, 2026 @02:37PM (#49026177)
I agree with the spatial memory and the many possible and valid ways to approach reading and learning. But it's much harder to recall, connect and leverage ideas that way
Re:Writing by hand is good for your brain on Thursday July 23, 2026 @11:48AM (#49023547)
Better yet, take actual notes abd give yourself space to think: https://www.dsebastien.net/2022-02-17-how-to-capture-book-no...

Obsidian + Markdown + YAML frontmatter turns knowledge bases into operating systems.

You can really build anything on top of Obsidian. And when you combine the power of the Web platform exposed by Obsidian and its API with properties and Obsidian Bases, you can have tons of fun.

At least I'm having tons of fun.. ;-)

Hope Omarchy will make that a default:)

I miss Joel's blog posts!

Re:Prompt Politeness Affects LLM Accuracy on Wednesday May 27, 2026 @04:51AM (#48291492)
I guess it makes sense since we as humans tend to be far less inclined to help someone who is not polite/is not friendly, so that "bias" is part of the training data, thus influences how LLMs function
Re:The Future of Obsidian Plugins on Thursday May 14, 2026 @10:35AM (#48136045)
This is a HUGE improvement to the status quo. Give it some time. They do care
Re:The Future of Obsidian Plugins on Thursday May 14, 2026 @10:32AM (#48136006)
Fully agree with you

Context Management for teams deserves more attention. I'm focused on this at work. Some of that will be covered in my upcoming videos

Re:The Future of Obsidian Plugins on Thursday May 14, 2026 @09:55AM (#48135433)
Same, very cool DX. A Markdown report of issues would be nice to have though to save a few tokens ^^
Re:Printing Blogs on Friday May 08, 2026 @01:38AM (#48059013)
I printed blog posts for 15 years. I used to print everything I wanted to read during my train commutes. I learned so much that way :)

I wish I kept my demo files!

I've been using Simplewall on Windows for a while but I think it's not maintained anymore. Need to find an alternative
