Plenty of ways to send an image to it - right click image in Finder, share menu on iOS from photos etc, replaced the built in macOS shortcuts for taking screenshots with Dropshare so a quick upload button to share a screenshot.

That combined with pointing a subdomain at the r2 bucket means I can share images virtually instantly without thinking too hard about it (the r2 URL is copied to clipboard once the image is uploaded). Having a personalised vanity domain is a cherry on top too http://img.cohan.dev/AXsaG.jpg

Also means it's on me to make sure images are available in the future and I trust me to keep my images online forever more than sites that have to find a way to fund themselves eventually.

The cycle of image hosting continues

I've swapped to using the app Dropshare hooked up to a Cloudflare R2 bucket myself

Ooh nice. Ta for the suggest

I use the collapse thingy as a read flag - if I'm fully sated on a to and fro for a topic I might come back to I'll collapse the thread.

Future me will often un-collapse the thread through curiosity of course, but will quickly realise I was right

Aye as the sibling comment says it's not guaranteed to happen, I'm considering the worst case scenario outside of collision (needing to move trains that can no longer move themselves, needing to offload and transport stranded passengers, causing further delay, etc)

For what it's worth overconfident guy kicked off an interesting conversation!

It's also quite possible that I'm overcautious and the future will have trains within braking distance of each other and it turns out to be no big deal.

Thoroughly enjoyed thinking about the scenario in any case. Some proper Hacker News brain tickling in this thread :)

Oh wow, I was 6 months old when that happened. (36y/o now)

Pretty decent track record if that's the most recent example!

Upping the ante: how much worse would that have been if there were trains following closer than braking distance in both directions.

Special note that the train derailed so severely in this incident after colliding with a train stopped in front of it.

I'm even less of a fan of OP's "braking distance shmaking distance" proposal with this example of why it's a bad idea!

Instead of a derailed train and a couple delayed trains you now have a derailed train and a couple of trains with flat wheels that also need clearing up (assuming they avoided slamming into each other)

Definitely not sold on the "let's chuck out the failsafe method of railwaying" idea, haha

A train derailing onto another track would be a hell of a derailment

Take this incident for example https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-68466494

Imagine that then resulted in "the following train then slammed into the derailed train, having been unable to stop in time"

At least with cars they also have the option to swerve away from the chaos if the stopping distance is too short.

Not to disagree, just throwing in a variable that trains don't have

A bookcase would look ridiculous with just the one kindle on it

I turn them off entirely. I'm playing Factorio to make trains and things to make the trains train about the place. Ain't got no time for random critter waves.

Nice try, GPT

If anyone else still can't hear anything even after cranking the volume - the grandparent comment means take your phone out of silent mode in addition to raising the volume above 0

If you are stuck in this situation open a chat with support and ask to cancel with the reason "My new employer is paying for my Adobe subscription" to get the cancellation fee waived.

I can't guarantee it still works but it worked for me and at least 3 others I know of

Adobe deserves to get slapped down for this practice and I hope they are forced to change it, but something to try in the meantime

Aye this is what it seems to be having double checked the reply's claim

Got to the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_(publishing) which could possibly support the slimy conclusion of "it's a trail through the process" but that article has an etymology section that refers to the metal slug

I guess it could mean both depending on whether you're looking for the meaning of the word or the meaning of the concept but I didn't find any other slimy grub references (via an admittedly limited double check)

Ooh interesting. It looks like I have either misinterpreted or found a source that misinterpreted (it was a few years back, unsure if I came to the conclusion or found it). I'll have to update my notes, cheers!

Apologies for the wetbrain hallucination, HN!

Ooh I had this wonder a while back and jotted it down just in case anyone else ever wondered about it:

Comes from the ye olde paper-based blogs they call newspapers. When an article is being put together it’s given a short name, sort of like a project name. This name would remain the same throughout the article’s life - from reporter through to editor - it left its trail through the process. Like a slug.

It does all the letsencrypt stuff for you - certbot is not a massive hassle if you're just serving the one domain of course but I really liked it for that when I was setting up a redirect server (corps do love buying TheirBrand.everytld haha)

Set the config up with CI/CD and can now just edit the config and git push knowing Caddy will just handle the rest

Your recent comments come off a bit spammy (and are flag killed) - are you manually posting your recent comments or is the app posting the summary automatically?

I dunno if HN is the kind of place for a "sent by applicationName" footer in every comment either, feels like none of your comments are going to be seen while using this app

Look up in advance rather than directly under, haha. Strains the neck less too

A bird shat on my head like 10 years ago and I look up at everything now. Street lights, overhangs, anything a bastard pigeon could be sitting on.

I don't fear death, for I will be dead. I fear unexpected inconvenience

Dibs

Honestly it couldn't hurt for people to re-learn not to trust things on the internet.

I haven't heard someone snarkily say "it's on the internet so it must be true" in like 12 years. Let's bring that back.

Ironically this is the topmost comment as I write this.

Outside of Medium which gets shat on for good reason imo (used to be good, now a mess of paywalls) I've not come across this sentiment.

I'll probably start noticing it now though, frequency illusion and all, cheers for that haha

[studio audience laughs]

haha it is what it is, I'll figure out how to better explain what I mean next time.

Putting this one down to "words are lossy compression for thoughts"

Aye fair point, I guess I've just been noticing it happening more because I noticed it happen and am now tuned to see it - that Baader-Meinhof frequency illusion thing.

> Must admit I’m surprised by the aggressiveness of it all. It’s almost like an echo chamber where people have decided it’s ok to pile on

This seems to be a really common occurrence recently - I know the internet can be mean, I've been on it since the peak of IRC, but it seems way more intense these days. The moment something is marked as the bad thing, hordes of people absolutely pile onto it out of nowhere.

Is this something I've just not noticed, a more people online thing, long term effects of covid (the virus itself and/or the lockdowns), a result of whatever algorithm tweaks Elon has been making, are people just pissed off in general, etc?

It feels bizarre how aggro the internet has become!

I think psychology might call this Splitting, which honestly seems to describe the business model of social media platforms these days too, so maybe there's a connection there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splitting_(psychology)

Off topic but using as an example of this: This tweeted photo, showing a pub in the UK that allows dogs, but bans children. Bit edgy, sure, but look at the bloodbath in the replies/quotes! It's absolute chaos!

It's mainly the initial connection bit that Tailscale does that makes it great, in my opinion. The rest of the features are decent too but for me this is the reason I use it

https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works

Of course if you don't need this, or can set up NAT traversal yourself, and don't need anything else Tailscale does aye set up your own WireGuard network, no worries.

All the reasons I use tailscale after initial connection are indeed the same as if I'd set up any other VPN (direct connectivity, secure connection, private connection, etc)

At its very basic level it's a nice wrapper around WireGuard that handles the fiddly bits that might stop the initial connection for you.
