I use the Opencomm in my quite home office as well. No hot ears anymore. :D

It's not just the date picker in Safari. iOS in general... I don't get it why I need to uninstall and reinstall an app from the app store when I want to clean the app's data like I can easily do on Android. Why is there no way to clean caches? Instead a big chunck of the storage is filled with "other system files". And the keyboard is so error prone as well, I always do spelling mistakes or need hours to type short texts. At least it's just my work phone...
Re:BundesMessenger is a milestone in Germany’s ground-breaking vision on Friday December 16, 2022 @11:47AM (#34016755)
You can use the "Online-Personalausweis" for quite some things actually. For example to authenticate at banks, so you don't have to do Video-Ident. Or to do taxes etc. I wrote a post about it earlier this year: https://b.jlel.se/s/59c

I wish they would finally release their S3 support for storage. (https://jlelse.blog/links/2022/12/bunny-ai)

Do you plan to support custom DoH/DoT endpoints?
Re:Ask HN: Is having a personal blog/brand worth it for you? on Monday July 18, 2022 @12:28PM (#32140139)
My blog (jlelse.blog) is absolutely worth it for me for the following reasons:

1. I enjoy sharing things with the world. 2. I got to know a lot of people who wrote me mails because I posted something. Some really nice connections with people from all over the world. 3. I learned a new programming language by developing my own blog software. 4. In job interviews I can tell about developing my own blog software with new technologies.

But I just post when I want to and what I want to. That can range from tutorials to just a casual images I took when walking through my neighborhood.

$60/hr? Maybe in the US, but really uncommon even in western countries like Germany.

Yes, but in Germany you probably don't travel 8 times as much.
Re:High speed train between Paris and Berlin could start operating as ... on Sunday May 29, 2022 @12:20PM (#31550331)
That's great news!

But there are already train routes with >6 hours in Germany. I sometimes take the train from Berlin to Basel (CH) from just a few stops away from Berlin and when there are no problems that's a 6 hour trip. With the car that would be >7 hours.

Thanks for the tip! I have a Nitter instance, but didn't know about this.
Re:Ask HN: Have you used SQLite as a primary database? on Monday April 25, 2022 @03:54PM (#31159714)
I'm using SQLite for my blogging engine (https://goblog.app). Easy backups, easy testing, light resource usage and probably faster than a separate database.

Re:Why I will never buy another Samsung device on Tuesday February 22, 2022 @07:29AM (#30427073)
I am very happy with my S10 Lite as well, also received Android 12 recently. With some PC software it's possible to uninstall Bixby and the other bloatware even without rooting.

I'm ok with that, not everyone has to like my blogging style.

Shameless, but I'm a programmer and this is my blog: https://jlelse.blog/

I hope this ends the hype. I'm a bit annoyed seeing Wordle guesses everywhere online.
