moontear··on In loving memory of square checkbox
The articles punchline IS the use of toggle buttons?! Or have I misunderstood you?
moontear··on Which shows got their finale right, and which didn't?
I don’t quite understand how shows were chosen. There seem to be a shows missing, fitting the criteria’s.

Six feet under: average rating 8,7, finale 9,9 (!)

moontear··on Show HN: I made a website to find best bus seat to avoid the sun while traveling
Right, locale is set to 24h but I do use US English as a language. I don’t see AM/PM anywhere, but on your site.
moontear··on Show HN: I made a website to find best bus seat to avoid the sun while traveling
Works. Beautiful. Also works internationally. Good job!

It would be splendid if you used 24 hour format per default instead of AM/PM or at least let me choose. You correctly figured out I am at UTC+01:00, but we don't use AM/PM here.

I'm not perfectly happy with the colors in the final map. You use blue to represent right, yellowish for left and dark gray for "no sun". Your suggestion on top for preferred seating uses red. To me the preferred seating color should correspond with the left/right colors.

moontear··on YouTransfer: Self-hosted file transfer and sharing solution
Last checkin four years ago and README says „looking for a new maintainer“. Is this abandonware?
moontear··on Stuxnet Source Code
Is it? The nuclear fallout of a plant may linger for longer than any destruction done by the water of a large dam I would say or do you mean something else?
moontear··on Sam Altman returns as CEO, OpenAI has a new initial board
Pricing higher is funny because OpenAI fully runs on Azure.
moontear··on Paperless-Ngx v2.0.0
There is a long list of supported scanners directly from Paperless: https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/wiki/Scanner-...

Personally I go with Brother ADS-1700W. I don't use it under any operating system since it is Scanner > SMB share.

moontear··on OpenAI investors keep pushing for Sam Altman’s return
Satoshi Nakamoto probably
moontear··on Please Don't Ask If an Open Source Project Is Dead
But isn't the Github archive function for exactly this use case then? I have asked maintainers that haven't updated their repo in years, whether this project is actively maintained or can be archived - archived says exactly that: this repo isn't developed any further, but you may still use it.
moontear··on Bing Chat is so hungry for GPUs, Microsoft will rent them from Oracle
This is the answer. Consumer bing chat isn’t that important for MS. Let someone else host it.
moontear··on Notes on making a multiplayer "doing nothing app"
Whereas I like the idea, isn’t being able to communicate with others the antithesis of „doing nothing“? We’re actually NOT doing nothing anymore, but doing something besides sitting and waiting?!
moontear··on Localsend: Open-Source Airdrop Alternative
I use PairDrop. No installation of an app necessary. I also locally host PairDrop, so there are no third parties required for the transfer.

Check it out here: https://github.com/schlagmichdoch/PairDrop

Or try it out here: https://pairdrop.net/

moontear··on Show HN: Obligator – An OpenID Connect server for self-hosters
I was going to comment „but I can already do a lot of that with Authelia and it is very simple to configure“, but then I found your very good comparison page - good comparison!

I know the Authelia team is hard at working supporting some of the use cases that are currently not supported, so I will probably wait until some things are implemented there instead of switching.

moontear··on The Philips Hue ecosystem is collapsing
Of course you can. Use Zigbee2MQTT and buy one of the supported adapters (don’t get IKEA) and all your Zigbee devices will work. No cloud needed: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/adapters/
moontear··on Reasons to not use your own domain for email
It is a bit of a hassle saving the generated mail address, since it’s hidden away in the settings and from there you have to copy to your password manager.
moontear··on A currently maintained fork of SSHFS
How are the different packages for the different *nix distros maintained? I see the link to repology, but that service only tracks the packages - who created the packages and where are they generated in the repo?
moontear··on uBlock Origin Lite now available on Firefox
This seems to do network-level filtering based on the provided filter lists.

If I have a Pi-Hole / Adguard Home running in my network and use it as a DNS, that would mean this extension is useless for me (give I use the same and more filter lists)?

moontear··on Update: U+237C ⍼ &Angzarr;
Just on copyright - all you want is to take a peek? It is not that you would have to share the complete scans with the world.

Let's say the character means "X" and you can see it on some obscure page - could sharing that be a copyright issue?

moontear··on ESP32-C3 Wireless Adventure: A Comprehensive Guide to IoT [pdf]
Why should it? It is neither talking about Zigbee specifically for example.
moontear··on Google no longer automatically indexes websites?
Thank you
moontear··on HBO Max new Captcha system
What I don't understand is why the original video isn't linked, since you can also hotlink videos from TikTok?

moontear··on Tunnel via Cloudflare to any TCP service
This is what I was wondering when reading the article.

I do SSH forwarding just fine with a CF tunnel. No extra services needed.

moontear··on Show HN: PineTool – An iOS Companion for the Pinecil
I think this needs more unnecessary. Siri integration? Yes! I need to be able to tell Siri what temp I want my soldering iron at. You could also make use of other iOS features, like backing up the temp history to iCloud for long term temperature stats. Think about the correlations you could do: I always set the temp to 260C at noon, but in the evenings I’m more of a 265C person. Maybe we would also need some Health integration - Apple should add a „soldering fumes inhalation“ stat. Are there different kind of fumes at different temperature levels?

Time to upgrade my Pinecil

moontear··on Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
I have an Apple watch and it doesn't for me. The timer isn't as exact as the sensor in the chair (obviously) and if I move a lot (say during meetings and me using my hands), Apple thinks I am getting up from the chair which I am not.

I actually use both: The Apple watch notification as well as my custom push notification to the Apple watch. The more I get up, the better for my health :-)

moontear··on Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
Automatic warning system if I sit too long

I added a pressure sensor to my desk chair (just like the ones built into car seats) and soldered that to a Zigbee door sensor. I now know sitting/not sitting. I then set up push notifications to my watch and desktop if I sit more than one hour to get up and take a walk. Furthermore I connected it to my hight adjustable desk that if it is in up-position and I sit down, it automatically lowers itself to the perfect sitting position. I had to disable the „if I get up, move the desk up“ function because it was just too much movement on the desk end.

I don’t wanna miss the too-long-sitting warning anymore and it is really useful.

moontear··on Pi-hole: Network-wide ad blocking
I agree. Also better DNS rewrite support for split DNS scenarios. I do like the dashboard and analysis possibilities of Pi-Hole better
moontear··on Musk’s desire to own the Libs is alienating the buyers of Teslas
No, but apparently Musk: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1525549535786717184?s=46...
moontear··on MagicDNS is generally available
Great setup! But you didn’t say anything about MagicDNS, did you? You just set your global Nameserver to something on your tailnet and could disable MagicDNS for this use case?
moontear··on MagicDNS is generally available
Do tease!
