I’d have guessed „none of my fucking problems“
CallMeMarc··on Show HN: Find Subreddits for Your Niche
Nice, just found a bunch of my old favorite subreddits I totally forgot about since switching from the Reddit mobile app to Apollo. Thanks!
CallMeMarc··on Stripe Payment Links
I guess this one’s going on Visa/Mastercard/etc as they are the ones charging the most of these fees[0].

I don’t know what I expected but I guess I have a new sticker for my MacBook now.

Really nice and clean process though.

CallMeMarc··on Selling Tiny Internet Projects for Fun and Profit
Not the parent, but I think they do actually mean eBay Kleinanzeigen. A few months ago they added a service like this but afaik it’s still in beta and also not available for all categories yet.
CallMeMarc··on Why is the Gaza Strip blurry on Google Maps?
I'm no expert but there was an Ask HN about new APIs[1] recently. One answer linked to Albedo[2] which seems quite interesting.

On the good side, someday we’ll probably get an episode of Darknet Diaries on this one.
CallMeMarc··on Ask HN: Why is Chrome so awful on OS X?
I'd call myself a power user when it comes to browsers and tabs.

I had exactly the same thoughts a few months ago, but having 500+ tabs open and getting a few system freezes for a few seconds I thought that's how it is. Even though I'm running it on a 2019 Pro with 16 GB.

But then I gave Firefox a new shot and it's amazing. I'm currently sitting at 547 tabs and I can even play YouTube videos via the picture in picture mode without any problems while building an Docker image.

However you should definitely use an addon for discarding tabs. I'm currently using "Auto Tab Discord"[1] which is kinda the same what "The Great Suspender" was. Additionally I can recommend "Tab Session Manager"[2] if you're having an addition to tabs like me. Both are available for Chrome and Firefox.

CallMeMarc··on Spotify Apps Suck
I can't count the times I've wanted to throw my phone against a wall exactly because of this. They are usually very good at UX but this one throws me off _every_ time.
CallMeMarc··on Show HN: Nextjs and TailwindCSS Templates
You currently use <button>s for your navigation (and in the footer) which means I can't use neither my scroll wheel button to open links in a new tab nor can I right-click and open it in a new tab.

I guess you could use <a href="/whatever" role="button"> to get the same semantics but also make it easier for people like me (and people using screen readers!) :)

Would be nice to have a max size for the font on your headlines so they don't collide with each other :)

Ads and reddit coins afaik.

Coins can be used to buy either their premium subscription (no ads and a few other things) or can be used to "award" posts/comments. You can select which award you want to give, there are multiple that are by reddit and there are awards that are subreddit specific. An award can also give the awardee some coins (e.g. you pay 200 coins and the awardee gets 100).

CallMeMarc··on Mining Ethereum on M1 Mac GPU
Thanks for the link. Insane to see that some of them even got cheaper in 2020.
CallMeMarc··on Mining Ethereum on M1 Mac GPU
Is there any state or nation wide search for good utility prices? We've got Check24[1] in Germany which basically is a no brainer to find good price for stuff like this.

CallMeMarc··on Mining Ethereum on M1 Mac GPU
Is electricity really that cheap in the USA? The cheapest price I've found for my city here in Germany is like 0,24 EUR. And this is already including a new customer discount and cashback. Not even guaranteed green energy...

0,24 EUR is currently ~0,29 USD. That's 0,29 USD for my cheapest price against your most expensive price with 0,20 USD.

CallMeMarc··on Show HN: McPiper 1.3 – track Gitlab CI/CD pipelines from macOS status bar
> What's your macOS version? I've tried replicating it, but seems to work ok. It should ask at the last screen during the onboarding.

Running Catalin 10.15.7 currently. Yes, the screen came but typically MacOS would send a popup notification where I can enable/disable notifications for McPiper but that didn't came

> Yep, it's on the radar, as this data isn't available directly from the GraphQL pipeline object, it requires another REST request to GitLab

Would be a very useful feature as I have a few repositories that I'm working on like once or twice a week but my colleagues are triggering pipelines on a daily basis

Also do you know why there is no "app icon" in my dock when I open the preferences window? If I hit CMD+Tab I also cannot jump to the window, but when I hit CRTL+UP and I see the window and can jump into it. Hope you get what I mean, quite new to MacOS :^)

Is it also possible to have a setting for the popup window width? Our repository names (including the organisation + groups) are quite long

CallMeMarc··on Show HN: McPiper 1.3 – track Gitlab CI/CD pipelines from macOS status bar
Thanks for the code! Just installed it, runs pretty smooth so far.

Quick feedback:

- the popup to allow notification did not come (after manually allowing it works)

- the name seems a bit weird, I guess the Mc comes from Mac?

- I would prefer to have a setting that filters pipelines that are triggered by me only

- you can open the preferences window unlimited times

- a bit weird that it requires write access but I guess that's a problem of GitLabs permission management

Otherwise it looks really nice :)

I have been using a VS Code Plugin until now but having push notifications is really nice as I now can go through the sidebar notifications and have a list of all pipelines and can work through them instead of having only the latest in my IDE status bar

CallMeMarc··on Apple's privacy labels show WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger hunger for user data
IIRC I even bought the app on the app store and then had some kind of "lifetime" plan, easier times

Didn't WhatsApp actually cost like 1 EUR/year before FB bought it?
CallMeMarc··on Ask HN: What's a side project you built to make money that hasn't?
Very impressive actually, do you know if the poles and ropes are all on private property or is it allowed to have them on "public ground"?

Judaism never fails to impress me since since I discovered the YouTube series from Peter Santenello about hasidic jews (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YTmrCLeidc&list=PLEyPgwIPkH...)

CallMeMarc··on Ask HN: What's a side project you built to make money that hasn't?
This reminds me of a video from "Half as interesting", is this also an eruv?

CallMeMarc··on EU pushes for 'right to disconnect' from work at home
This policy is so outdated, you literally aren't allowed to have more than ~10% personal belongings (like family pictures) in the room. Also you're afaik not allowed to have a bed/couch inside which makes a guest room/home office setup impossible.

I think its already in there

CallMeMarc··on Ask HN: Side projects that are making money, but you'd not talk about them?
I like the clean buttons for all the podcast platforms but I must admit I searched through your website for like 5 minutes before I saw them because I searched for the logos of the platforms.

Subscribed in pocket casts and will tune in later!

Kinda two use cases here with my being more on the business side than personal, that's true. You may be right for small personal scenarios.
