would using Tailscale to let my Plex server have a consistent connection be a good idea or is that a use case for this service?

I used to think Cloudflare was in this category but maybe not anymore?

how does it work?

Went through this same cycle back in 2017-2018 and I realized that I didn't have enough energy to keep up with all the news popping up and some seemingly spiking the price of a crypto while other news just as juicy/valuable/hype-worthy didn't seem to do the same.

I know some friends who made good money from NFTs and some crypto pumps but most have either stayed flat or lost money.

So, I'm in the same place as you, I'll put my money on less "cool" investments and continue to watch the space.

I am impressed by how quickly the page loaded, looked at the source code and what do you know? No modern UI library being used, semantic class names and not a lot of code being loaded. I'm impressed by the simplicity!

I’m building something similar over at https://bookends.app. Still relatively new as well.

Good luck and I wish you all the success!

Echoing the family plan, I would love to have my family use the search engine but at $10+ per person, it doesn't make sense.

Working with Prisma on a side project, migrations are a pain. Rails' migrations were so easy to use. I am in the early stages of working on the side project so might even consider flipping over to Rails if this keeps getting messier.

I've been looking for something like this. My only feedback is that the default style looks a bit too narrow (width and line-height wise). Also, the scale/range for changing the width jumps a lot between the middle and to the right, I wish there was a bit more control over that. Why not attach the value of the slider to the width percentage?

No, let me try it now and see if it is better than the dozens of other tools already openly available.

I closed the tab when I clicked the search bar and it took me to the chrome web store ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, 1000% this. I've found reddit and stack overflow to be way easier to search for content than slack/discord. Creating a subreddit for your app/service/topic is trivial and moderation tools are decent as wel.

They should've stuck with Stellar, for any realistic money transferring between people (merchants, p2p, cross-border), Stellar is one of the best options as the fees are insanely low compared to any other large cryptocurrencies.

I'm loving it, it's so fast!

I used to work on the localization team at my company. It's a pretty complicated world in itself. I was nodding my head while reading this and I think the biggest surprise I ran into is how not a lot of companies do a great job at localizing for many different regions. I think this is also something where large companies have a huge lead on compared to newcomers.

how's the internet in those areas?

that would be amazing! If it's anything like SF Pro → SF Mono, it would be great.

When this got added to Google Docs, my usage of Google docs went up. The font is incredibly pleasant to look at and works at all sizes.

there is already another calendar management app called Clockwise, maybe try a different name to avoid confusion?

I don't feel the click haptic feedback on iOS with iPhone 12

Finally, I can learn what kafka is :D

Nice onboarding but I don't like the email requirement.

This is not going to be an easy fix but it is possible since phones are just a recent thing we've gotten addicted to.

First, don't blame your bank for the scroller apps. Those are two things that don't relate. You shouldn't need to lock down your phone to stop it.

Start with why. "why do you want to quit or curb your phone use?" I believe you know this answer to this but write it down on a piece of paper. When you do this, your mind will play it back for you from time to time.

You have an iPhone, download a meditation app. Don't sit down like a yogi and meditate, open the meditation app where you scroll on twitter/ig/amazon, whether that's your couch or your bed. Meditate for 3 minutes, that's it, not more for your first time.

The meditation will be really hard the first few times. It will feel silly too. Get an app where they guide you for meditations, e.g. Calm / Headspace (they are free to use for basic meditation).

Your phone is a powerful tool, and just like any tool, it can be use for helping yourself or harming yourself.

I am happy to guide you through more of this, please feel free to reach out to me me at contact@usman.xyz. I've been through this before, I know what it feels like and I can guarantee you that you'll get out of this!

reminds me of autojump on the command line, I bet this can be immensely useful if it didn't rely only on searching and bookmarking, e.g. "jira create 'user auth setup'" (this would create a ticket in jira with that title)

I've been using Calibre for years to manage my ebooks, convert them, and sync them. This is one of those pieces of software that just works.

Yes, spent most of 2020 without social media and I have found that most of my day was filled with 5 mins here and 10 mins there of just staring at my phone. After I got away from Tiktok, Instagram, and Reddit, I've seen a huge improvement in my mood and mental well-being.

I use HN has a way to keep up with tech related stuff and only use it during work hours as a treat when I finish a task, this helps me get work done and gives my brain a small dopamine hit.

Thanks for the info! I'll look into Kirby more. I love the theme you're using, super simple and to the point, nothing distracting from the content

Off topic: what are you using to build your blog? It's very minimal and clean.

I thought Blender was for animation, didn't occur to me you can just edit video within it.

There's so many of these but all are in "early access" phase...seems like they haven't figured out how to do iMessages integration and it's just a nicely designed UI with no real product.
