I'm one the tab hoarders, opening many browser windows (each for different topic), 10-50 tabs each. Besides the grouping, I also like to freeze a topic for months, revisiting them later (deferred buying or travel…

I've recently encountered two articles on this topic: - https://arielelkin.github.io/articles/digital-estate-planning - https://www.meganlyip.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/2019-11-28-Your-Digital-Estate-Guide.pdf I'm…

I have a wi-fi client in our heat pump, that is hard to access for reconfiguration. I want to change my network setup, and before doing that, I would like to move that client to a new device. I've setup a new router…

I'd be interested to learn more about hosting, creating and managing an online (+ maybe archives). Where does one start? Which software (hopefully open source) and which services could be used? I came across…

I don't mind smart watches, but right now I'd be looking for a cheap, long battery life, dumb watch with only a GPS tracker. (I don't need heartrate monitoring, step counter or any other feature.) Is there any out…

Is there a self-hosted end-to-end encrypted messaging platform that also supports attaching files, images or other stuff along the messages? It seems that OMEMO is not there yet.

Which mnemonic algorithm is the most popular nowadays? I've seen PGP word list and pip39 in use, not sure what else is being used actively. If you need to choose one of them, which one would you choose and why? And if…

I'd like to help a friend to learn more about web scraping (and also with test automation, but that is less fun). Are you aware of any tutorial, competition or anything in-between which has tasks with varying…

In this experiment, I'm searching for an apartment with the same method: location + dates + persons -> click search -> select apartment on the result page. Browser Window #1 - my default profile with content blockers…

I've read unfounded speculation in both directions: some claim it will go down, others claim it should go up... What's your experience: Did you earn more? Did your company spent more on ads?

If somebody is using or has used Elassandra [1], would you care to share your experience using it? What are the non-obvious drawbacks? [1] https://github.com/strapdata/elassandra

While Couchbase Server looks like a viable alternative to MongoDB, CockroachDB, TiDB, or even Cassandra, I see very little discussion about it here on HN in the past few years. Is there any reason for that? Is the…

There are a few naming conventions that handle mostly the syntactic part of structure names, e.g. Google's JSON style guide is great, with a few references to semantics [1]. Dart's style guide adds a few more guideline…

I'm looking for a very simple automation where I can pull in ETF data every week (no need for realtime market data), run a simple portfolio analysis (e.g. stock%, or geo% targets), and the script could alert me if I'd…

Postgresql is my go-to database for a couple of years, but so far I had operated most of my DBs on a single machine with ad-hoc backups. I'm also operating a CockroachDB cluster, and I really like the simple…

GitBucket is an open-source self-hosted Git repository with the usual stuff (pull requests, issues, wiki): https://github.com/gitbucket/gitbucket With the 4.20 release it supports squash on merge, which is a premium…

I've been trying to setup a remote developer workstation environment on an Ubuntu server (behind an lxc container, accessing with a Mac client), but the results are far from satisfying. I've tried the following: native…
