It's quite funny that this submission is currently at the top of Show HN.

I don't want to spam, but I built this during the pandemic (pre ai). Maybe this is useful to you:

There is also a Mastodon bridge via Mastofeed:

Yes, it did:

https://www.mostdiscussed.com/article/453137

The article was originally published on 2026-08-24 (probably tampered by HN for a second chance), so currently it's on position #6 on the news feed.

Oh, nice execution. I had the same idea during the pandemic. Though my aesthetics are completely different as I focused more on the discussions on HN, as they often have some golden nuggets. Yours is of course way more polished, as I basically just slapped bootstrap on my database front end.

Interesting how different our "popularity score" is though: https://www.mostdiscussed.com/popular

You don't seem to group them by category, right? I found it quite interesting: https://www.mostdiscussed.com/popular/topics

Btw, your "new" tab seems to be broken, as it is showing articles from 2019.

moehm··on Predicting OpenAI's ad strategy
NewPipe[0] is a client for YouTube on mobile. It's available on F-Droid and it hides the ads.

There are some forks floating around which also include SponsorBlock, but I haven't tested them yet.

moehm··on Why some clothes shrink in the wash and how to unshrink them
> Note that I fully understand it for the anecdotal weight that it has.

At this point I thought you were going for an ahem heavy-handed joke.

moehm··on Show HN: 999 Penguins
Nice game, but this definitely needs a back button.
moehm··on Why Self-Host?
Uh, yeah, I thought about Nginx or Apache and would expect them to be more secure then your average self-written application.
moehm··on Why Self-Host?
Yes, but the web server is just reading files from disk and not invoking an application server. So if you keep your web server up to date, you are at a much lesser risk than if you would also have to keep your application + programming environment secure.

moehm··on I drank every cocktail
Since the Ninja Creami hit the market as the "Pacojet Killer", I like to make my own lemon sorbet and Sgroppinos.

But of course I swapped the vodka for Limoncello.

No, they didn't reduce production, they just stopped scaling it with the rising demand.

Chartreuse got very popular in the last few years, and the monks started to produce more, but now they are at a point where they feel they a) earn enough money for the monastery and b) they claim scaling further hurts the sustainability.

So instead of producing more, they allocate the existing stock mostly to the hospitality business instead of the private consumer.

Don't pour it out, but deglaze your pan the next time you cook.

moehm··on Advice for a friend who wants to start a blog
I know people here don't like site analytics, but for this one it's pretty good.

Setup Matomo or similar analytics software, write about a bunch of topics and review after a year which topics your readers are most interested in, for which they search on your site etc.

moehm··on Show HN: We built an Anime Recommendation and streaming Website
It seems you're copying your data from myanimelist.net, including the synopsis.

I'm not sure on the details anymore, but I can think this is infringing their copyright.

For https://www.anistats.com/ I chose to display the content from anilist.co and their graphql API. But this was 5 years ago I made this decision.

I don't know if this matters anymore or to you. But congrats for shipping.

moehm··on Sherlock: Hunt down social media accounts by username across 400 social networks
> Doing the multiple account thing isn’t as easy as it sounds though. Some sites like Reddit make switching between accounts incredibly easy

And it's as easy to dox yourself by responding with the wrong account, as I have seen multiple times on Reddit.

moehm··on How to use Postgres for everything
How do you handle minor upgrades with 100% availability?
moehm··on How to use Postgres for everything
You can get HA via leader election through Patroni.

moehm··on How to use Postgres for everything
For backups, pg_dump is good and simple for starting out.

For tuning, postgresqlco.nf[1] is great.

moehm··on Ask HN: Best Tools for High Availability PostgreSQL?
Do you need HA, or do you want to minimize downtime? At work we have something like an "error budget", were we accept downtime but try to minimize it. As such we have two nodes with one floating ip and a shared disk. The switch over takes as long as stopping the database on the first node, starting up the database on the second one and switching over the ip. Stuff like kernel updates takes us <1 minute of scheduled downtime, which is good enough for us.

Here is a good talk which resonated with me from the last pgconf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rYP6xVymtI

If you want more, I think Patroni (by Zalando) is the current best option for you. Patroni handles automatic leader election if the master goes down, and it is open source. Read here more:
