I use the Ian Knot [0] (also called the World's Fastest Shoelace Knot) with my Vivobarefoot. Moved to it from Bunny Ears method at the age of 45. Never thought I'll switch the way I tie my shoelaces at such and age.

Show HN: I rewrote my 2012 self-signed cert generator in Go – cert-depot.com
Back in 2012 I built https://cert-depot.com as a weekend project. Node.js + Express + jQuery, shelling out to OpenSSL for certificate generation. It worked but I eventually let it rot. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4766743Rewrote it from scratch in Go. The entire thing is a single binary with no external dependencies:1. Certificate generation uses Go's crypto/x509 (no OpenSSL)2....

Show HN: My New Startup – Minimus
https://images.minimus.io/login
We create minimalistic and secure container base images. All images only contain the relevant package (e.g. python) and its dependencies. We even created our own Linux distro, called MinimOS, to be in control of all packages and build a new version as soon as it is available upstream. As opposed to Alpine Linux we mostly use glibc. Images are re-built daily and we continuously add more of them....

Re:Ask HN: Can you recommend a good nuclear power plant simulator?

I know Rimworld and love it! I assume the mod is somehow similar to nuclear power management in Factorio?
Ask HN: Can you recommend a good nuclear power plant simulator?
Preferably a game that can run on Linux (not a must). Tried Nucleares but it doesn't run well on Linux using the latest Proton. Looking to learn, in detail, about how NPP works through operating it.

I just got my PPL a year ago. My instructor did a survey among all students who got the license and among other things asked 1) how many flight hours did it take you to get the license 2) did you play with a simulator in your spare time. There was a clear inverse correlation between the two, meaning that those who did play with the simulator had to use less hours to get the license.
