Is typing 'h4<tab>' really faster than typing '####'? Do you also prefer, say, 'h2<tab>' to '##'?

He nailed that one for sure.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll give it a try.

I love invidious, but this:

> The only issue I've had is that it sometimes refuses to play some videos because the media cannot be loaded.

Happens to me with lots of videos — about half the videos that I try to open if I had to guess. That makes Invidious pretty much unusable for me.

I use Miniflux and I'm very happy: https://miniflux.app

There's a paid hosting version that's only $15/year.

Maybe it's for donations? There might be a plan to attract users with quality content and use the platform to connect potential donators to environmental NGOs.

Could you elaborate on what their agenda would be, if "not exactly" environmental?

Which country are you connecting from?

Honest question: isn't there a risk of your emails getting preemptively rejected as spam by most mail servers if you self-host your own email server?

True. "Evil" might be more appropriate here.

Welcome to HN, one of the few Internet forums where humor is actively discouraged and unfailingly frowned upon (with the possible sole exception of idlewords[1]).

Dear HN users, make yourselves a favor and stop taking everything, including yourselves, so seriously.

Great answer! I'm adding this comment to my favorites.

I didn’t see any error whatsoever on their homepage, while now I see “Global CDN Disruption” on their status page.

Why is this a link to the Fastly homepage, where absolutely no information is provided?

This is the page that should be linked:

Do you happen to know about a mcmaster equivalent for the EU?

Seems like both DKIM and SPF checks have passed:

Last time this got asked about one year ago dang said they were willing to do it.[1] Several people offered to help — so much that I found reasonable to expect the feature to get shipped quickly. No idea what happened.

Dark mode is an accessibility feature.

The HN community is of course fundamental, but HN is very much defined by its UI.

Miniflux has a too little known hosted option that costs only 15$ a year:

I've been using it for years and I'm super happy with it. Highly recommended.

Wow, YAML has definitely some pretty quirky edges.

"We have identified the issue and it is attributed to an upstream provider."

The upstream issue is probably at Google:

"We are experiencing an issue with L4 load balancers in us-west1-c. Multiple managed services relying on LB and located in this zone might be affected."

This has been going on for at least an hour.

All currencies are imaginary. Money is a human construct.

I spent months trying to find an HTML/CSS job without success. Every web dev position I found was heavily JS-oriented.

Finding the first job in tech, when you don’t have any previous experience to show, is not easy. I was in the same boat for a long time. I assume what OP is trying to do is to find an entry-level job with the intention to move up from there.

Also, when you’re broke, you often don’t have time to look for a good position, because you need money right now, so you take up whatever job is on offer, which leaves you with no time/energy to look for something better, and you can’t take the risk to just quit and follow your dreams because you don’t have any safety net. You can easily spend years this way.

Of course, all this would not sound great in a job interview. That’s why, when I interview people, I tend to focus more on the attitude, personality, and actual skills of a person, and avoid asking questions about past odd jobs, prolonged unemployment periods, and the like.

We all need to start somewhere. OP just happens to be starting now.

Good luck, OP.

You could have, you know, all that good stuff also without Facebook.

Yeah, that‘s why he wrote “speed can be” and not “speed is”.

I'm absolutely blown away by the speed of this website. Facebook and Twitter are a bloated heavy mess in comparison.

I just registered for an account and I'm getting super nostalgic. Really well done!
