haraldooo··on Don't use your phone while you poop
Most upvoted comment in a long time. Probably.
haraldooo··on Tesla Solar Roof is on life support as it pivot to panels
https://youtu.be/UJeSWbR6W04?is=7zjKewd_mhUFEX1H - mkbhd has a video about it. Not fully off grid, if I remember correctly but generates pretty much all electricity he needs.
haraldooo··on Mistral AI Releases Forge
I agree. Just started using it. Can you give some examples of fields you maybe even prefer Mistral?
haraldooo··on Beyond has dropped “meat” from its name and expanded its high-protein drink line
I‘m eating plant based meats regularly but I guess we all know how e.g. trans fats, high fructose corn sirup and probably more were once considered safe and are certainly not anymore
haraldooo··on Mistral OCR 3
I’m fairly confident this is solvable quite well with “just two api calls”. Are examples of those books available online?
haraldooo··on Bluetooth keystroke-injection in Android, Linux, macOS and iOS
Am I missing something? Swipe from the top, tap to disable BT?
haraldooo··on Scripts for Streamlining Your Homelab with Proxmox VE
If the pc is beefy enough (win 11 pro runs smoothly) just go with the included hyper-v. Imho you don’t get any benefits installing proxmox on bare metal in this scenario. YMMV of course
haraldooo··on Shinzo Abe's Assassination
It’s the same for me
haraldooo··on iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
What do you mean? iPhones support „magsafe 2“ since 2017 (?) and Qhi-Charging since forever. And no, there is no „general best“ - you at least have to deal with the energy that is lost through induction.
haraldooo··on So you want to modify the text of a PDF by hand (2020)
MacOS‘s Quartz (original 2D rendering) is based on pdf: https://www.prepressure.com/pdf/basics/osx-quartz
haraldooo··on Block YouTube ads on AppleTV by decrypting and stripping ads from Profobuf
Sure they can.. but they can’t get around your outgoing firewall rule that reroutes alle traffic for certain ports to the proxy.
haraldooo··on Bfs 3.0: The Fastest Find Yet
I just love that there is a relevant xkcd for pretty much every nerdy topic. Didn’t know/ remember this one.. so thanks!
haraldooo··on What if you did the exact opposite, like rogue bees do (2020)

haraldooo··on It’s almost impossible to lose anything in Japan
Can confirm. I once lost my three week Japan Rail Pass (green car) somewhere in Tokyo station which has > 3 million passengers per day and is just huge. This was my first day in Japan with rides planned through the whole country. These rides would have cost a fortune to replace as you cannot buy a JRP in Japan. It took less then an hour to get it back. I assume nowhere else in the world this would have played out the same way. I was very thankful that day to say the least.
haraldooo··on Ask HN: What is something important I should start doing in my 20s?
The „boring things“ that compound over time like - a fitness routine - yearly check ups with your physician and dentist - invest 10% of what you earn (no matter how little it may be but make it a habit)

Learn how your mind works (eg. read „waking up“ by sam harris and know that people don’t think as much about you as you might think. Therefore don’t spend money you don’t have to impress them.

Keep learning in general and have fun in your profession - not in „fun every day“ but don’t become one of those people who drag themselves to work just to make ends meet.

Travel within your means. There is a lot of fun in learning about different cultures. The best way is not so sit in a pricy hotel room.

Keep strong relationships with friends and family if possible. A supportive network of people that care about you can be very hard to build when your older and might be worth more than money some times in your life.

You‘re going to do better than a lot of your peers with these simple things.

haraldooo··on Flipping the Metabolic Switch: Applying the Health Benefits of Fasting
It really isn't a problem once you're adapted which takes a few days normally (my experience). These guys seem to have no problems with their physical strength on a ketogenic diet: http://www.fatchancerow.org/ - so if this isn't fake (which I don't think) most daily energy demands should be satisfied.
haraldooo··on ViperCard – An open source re-creation and re-imagination of HyperCard
Not browser based but a „modern implementation“: https://livecode.com/ - the website is a little „marketingy“ but you can download a open source version of their „hypercard succesor“
haraldooo··on Google Memory Loss
Didn‘t they drop the + operator when they launched Google+? I thought now you have to surround your term with „“ instead of +?
haraldooo··on Show HN: An educational blockchain implementation in Python
It’s a Jupyter-Notebook (http://jupyter.org/)
haraldooo··on German government wants ‘backdoor’ access to every digital device: report
Proposing such a drastic law should somehow be not so easy to do. Sure, this proposal won‘t go through as is but what ever „weaker version“ of it will come in a few months will therefore sound much more sensible and might go through.. these „tactics“ make me really angry..
haraldooo··on In hospital for 34 years
Sorry for the „internet diagnosis“, but I had a lot of the same symptoms in the last three months - maybe it helps: did they check your thyroid thoroughly? Best of luck to you!
haraldooo··on What’s really causing the prescription drug crisis?
Over here in Europe (at least in Germany) you can buy as much Gin as you like in every supermarket - if you're over 18. I don't know if we have higher alcohol abuse numbers than countries with stricter laws but I doubt it. Does anyone have internationally comparable numbers?

EDIT: forgot: it's very cheap. If I remember correctly, you can get a one litre bottle for < 10 EUR - certainly not the best there is but "good enough" to get drunk as f* - even with little or no money
