I am not a tokenmaxxer per se but I blow through my weekly quota on my max plan in 3-4 days… fable would make that worse.

So what would you recommend to your friends and family that need a password manager? Genuinely curious.

I pay for a service for my family because I need reliable and easy for my wife and daughter to use it.

Yes - on iOS only a few things can be done in the background but most apps are frozen eventually when the are no longer in the foreground.

I just went back to my Bose because the fabric o top on the max started sagging and were hurting my head. Totally bummed but something for others to know!

We use typescript + pulumi for this. It's pretty amazing. And Pulumi uses Terraform modules under the hood so you get the full power of Terraform with the goodness of Typescript.

Even self hosting your state management in a bucket is simpler with Pulumi since it uses lock files on S3 versus a separate DyanamoDB + S3 combo.

I have been using it in production for 4-5 years and used Terraform for several years before that.

If the question is asked multiple times, why wouldn't they answer it multiple times?

My theory is that heat pumps are before or right after the "chasm" in the technology adoption cycle and that's an exciting place to be! Skeptics can make good points about how over hyped they are, how the benefits are less than people think etc. Believers can feel excited about being an early adopter. It's the perfect circumstances for the people of hacker news.

At the time I looked I couldn't find a Wifi 6E Access Point significantly cheaper than $279. Have you?

I just downloaded and installed and I am really impressed. I liked the concept of math blocks though it took me a few seconds to figure out how to change a new block into a math block. This note at the top wasn't clear to me:

⌘ + L Change block language

The phrase block language didn't trigger my "change the type of block" thinking. I might slightly rephrase like:

⌘ + L Change block language (Math, Markdown, etc.)

Otherwise, I think this is a great "scratches an itch" type project. Congrats!

I click “parent” and then collapse the thread to achieve what you want.

The nice part is the HN “remembers“ collapsed threads next time you load the thread so you can continue to ignore them.

That's not really true. These clients often reversed engineered other chat protocols and thus supported services that didn't support Jabber / XMPP. This was before e2e encryption was the norm so it was easier to do.

I really wanted to buy one of these. I created a steam account to buy one, made the purchase, but then I got stuck in their fraud loop. They required me to send a picture of my drivers license and I wasn't comfortable with that. Such a bummer because this is my ideal device! I want this more than any gaming device I have ever encountered.

Older versions of Unifi controller were subject to mining hacks because of the Log4J compromise. I would check to make sure you are running a recent version of the Unifi Controller.

I hear you on this problem and it took a while to find a solution I like. Ultimately, I went with https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyDesktop and file syncing tool of my choice. It seems to work well, but you can have issues if you simultaneously edit.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I use started using bookstack when I realized that I wanted a place for long form / long term storage of documents separates from my Notes / To dos. I love it and I deeply appreciate your hard work.

For others that haven't tried it, here's what clicked for me:

  - An opinionated hierarchy of Book -> Chapter (Optional) -> Page
  - Great search
  - WYSIWYG OR Markdown supported
  - Great integration into Diagrams.net

I love it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I think the grandparent is referring to Azure DevOps which is a Git / Issues product like Github and Gitlab, not Azure Cloud. Azure DevOps is "fine" though I feel like MS is pushing Github and will deprecate DevOps at some point in the coming years.

Actually they often don't. In the US, we had the Rural Electrification Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_Electrification_Act) that brought electricity into rural areas, but these places often still have wells, septic tanks, and gas tanks.

> I panic paid off my car insurance just in case things get worse.

Still shop as you will get a refund from your current insurer when you cancel. Just because you paid doesn't mean that money is gone!
