Show HN: Ifso.io – Plan financial decisions with no sign-in needed
Hello HN!I'm a software engineer and a personal finance nerd, and I've spent the past 6 months building Ifso, a planner that shows how your financial decisions play out.I started Ifso because I wanted to see how a few decisions I was weighing would actually turn out, and the existing tools weren't quite what I was looking for. They were complicated for simple things, and it felt like I had to do a lot of learning just to get off the ground. Beyond that, modeling simple moves (sell
Show HN: Scroll from your own skeleton to the edge of the observable universe
Hi HN!I made this to help improve visualisation for a meditation I practise where you picture leaving your body moving outward in stages until you are beyond space-time. It’s helped me get through some really tough times by putting things in perspective.You start as a skeleton by the pyramids at Giza and scroll past Earth, the planets, the stars, the Milky Way and the galaxy clusters to the edge of the observable universe.It’s built with real data - 9,096 stars (Yale Bright Star Catalogue), 43,4

Show HN: Quarter – A TUI launcher to browse, search and launch your games
Quarter sits on top of the launcher client you already have. It grabs your library and hands every action back to the launcher, there's no login or password, no API key or data collection. Your client does everything else.Quarter is just a fast shortcut to play your favorite games from the terminal you live in every day. That was my main mission when I created Quarter; just insert quarter, pick a game, press Enter.Written in Go with Bubble Tea, reads Steam's own files on disk; game log

Ask HN: Azure Linux VM's RTC loses 12 hours on reboot if set to 12:xx UTC?
I've noticed a problem, and it happens reproducibly, but I have not seen this being talked about anywhere.Can anyone else reproduce that, I have reproduced it easily with several VMs in different locations, both RHEL/Ubuntu behave the same, so I am fairly sure this is on Azure side of tihngs, but not 100% sure :) Seeing as this should then happen with every boot between 12:00 and 13:00 UTC I am wondering why I would be the only one noticing it :) It messes with systemds boot time, that
