mkayokay··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (April 2025)
If you add some remote command execution, you basically created some sort of a trojan ;-)

Really like to look of the product page!

mkayokay··on Mark Zuckerberg Says Social Media Is Over
Maybe there are subreddits or discord servers about your topics
mkayokay··on Kagi Assistant is now available to all users
Maybe your usage might not be affected, I propose to check for a month and if it really goes over the limit, you have the option of canceling the subscription.

It definitely is worded in a way that it can either be interpreted as (unlimited searches and unlimited premium ai) or (unlimited searches and premium ai).

It also may not help that they did not enforce the fair use policy until now. At least that is what I read out of their blog post.

But the fair use policy has been included a long time. I checked 2023-12-25 and found it there, might be available earlier, but no interest in looking harder.

Then don't renew. Nobody is forcing you to pay for the service, and from what you wrote, it sounds like the service is not what you need/want (anymore).
mkayokay··on GVisor: Linux-Compatible Sandbox
I find the README of the repo much better to quickly understand what this software is and isn't.

mkayokay··on A popular but wrong way to convert a string to uppercase or lowercase
Duden mentions this: "Bei Verwendung von Großbuchstaben steht traditionellerweise SS für ß. In manchen Schriften gibt es aber auch einen entsprechenden Großbuchstaben; seine Verwendung ist fakultativ ‹§ 25 E3›."

But isn't it also dependent on the available glyphs in the font used? So f.e. it needs to be ensured that U+1E9E exists?

How about the good old analogy of giving your house/car/safe keys to a total stranger while going on vacation?

There was also no need to buy a case and a screen protector.
mkayokay··on We went solar and here are the real numbers (2021)
When I visited the southern island of NZ in 2019 I was shocked how little insulated the houses I stayed in were, considering that the winters are quite cold. For example, most windows only had 1 pane tech. Whereas here in Europe modern windows use 3 panes for better insulation and sound filtering.

A lot of places in Austria (esp. Vienna) are heated with burner Technology (gas/oil/pellets). The article states that this energy usage has been converted and is included in the total amount.

A quick search indicates that 1kg of pellets generates ~5kwh. So when burning 4to. of pellets in winter that adds about roughly 50kwh per day.

When using burner tech to heat, a good way to reduce the cost and profit from pv is to add a heating rod in the buffer tank of the heating system.

mkayokay··on Ask HN: Self-hosting in 2023: Nextcloud on Linode, or...?
I've installed Syncthing (https://syncthing.net/) on my phone(s) and it syncs selected folders directly to my Synology NAS at home. As Syncthing uses its own discovery system, there is no need to open anything up to the internet.

SCP. simply for the encrypted transmission, and most *nix machines have ssh

There is also a Dockerfile - might make ad-hoc deployment easier, but have not tested it: https://github.com/mozilla/send/blob/master/Dockerfile
mkayokay··on DuckDuckGo is growing fast
But currently they have not implemented any such changes (at least that I'm aware of) - thus I will continue to use Startpage.

I use xe.com for currency conversion - short url, easy to use and is not google.

But there is no way around maps for me - at least for driving - for outdoor stuff I generally use Locus Map on my phone

mkayokay··on Things I wish I’d known about CSS
I have been using Python with Jinja2 templates and Weasyprint[1] for PDF creation for a side project of mine. The libary does have its css limitations but the PDFs it produces look good enough for me.
