alvil··on Facebook activated my dormant account and won’t let me deactivate it
I'm in the same situation, I didn't use my account several years. Than I tried to login, and account is locked. I was asked to send my ID. I did it. Now I'm waiting fifth month to unlock it and nothing happens. They have my ID, I don't have account access.

I can't believe you can look at that ugly colorscheme whole day working in even uglier language which rust really is.

alvil··on Https hurts users far away from the server
Report tool I use is Google's official webmaster tool (420ms an average time in "crawl stats").

And here is the article on budget https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2017/01/what-crawl-budget-...

alvil··on Https hurts users far away from the server
There is also another problem on how much and how often is Googlebot indexing your site because your site speed is one of the factors of so called Google index budget. My users are in Germany so my VPS is also in Germany to be fast for local user (~130ms for http reply), but for US Googlebot is my site slow (~420ms for http reply). So you are penalized also for this.
alvil··on Show HN: fman – file manager for programmers
I see any reason to distribute this as a .deb package for Linux. Why is this not distributed like Sublime Text? As tar.gz or tar.bz2 to extract and run?

alvil··on How to compile and install Lua 5.3.3 and C modules from sources on Windows
> If it's a dll that's not loaded through a require, but from one dll to another - like the lua ssl library loads the openSSL ones (libssl32.dll)

In this manual the task is to create standalone distro so everything what normally goes to OS PATH goes in Lua's \bin directory in this case. This means if you copy this c:\work\lua folder on the freshly installed Windows it will run out of the box. And that's cool.
