ugur2nd··on I took all my projects off the cloud, saving thousands of dollars
You won't believe it, but I can host 100 websites for a maximum of $100 per year.

It may seem strange to you, but PHP servers work very well.

I think it's worth a try.

Are the materials used Creative Commons?
ugur2nd··on Anti-cybercrime laws are being weaponized to repress journalism
We didn't file a counterclaim. Because my lawyer said it wasn't necessary. Because even if we won the counterclaim, we would have earned very little money.

Since the other side may be doing this commercially, they may be thinking in terms of mass production. In other words, they file lawsuits and earn as much as they can. If they can't win, they keep filing lawsuits against others. They don't bother.

They might not be making it a matter of pride; they might just be thinking about making money.

ugur2nd··on Anti-cybercrime laws are being weaponized to repress journalism
Welcome to Earth! Some people really enjoy exploiting legal loopholes.

Two years ago, I was sued for $10,000 in copyright infringement for embedding a YouTube video on my website. They filed a lawsuit by describing the word “embed” as if it were “upload.” But they are two different things. I won the case. But I realized that others didn't.

I learned that the company filed lawsuits against dozens of websites, especially Blogspot sites. I even heard a rumor.

They share content on social media and community sites in a way that entices people, focusing on areas that remain in a gray zone and where few people know it's illegal.

For example, “Embed movies from YouTube and share them on your website. You'll make a lot of money. If I knew how to program, I would do it.” This is just one example. There are many different examples. By the way, my site wasn't a movie site.

They apparently file lawsuits like clockwork against anyone who triggers their radar with the right keywords via Google Alerts.

Cybercrimes are just another reflection of this. If I could, I'd share more, but I don't want to go to jail. Freedom of expression isn't exactly welcomed everywhere on the internet.

ugur2nd··on Spinning Up an Onion Mirror Is Stupid Easy
I'm not an expert. I'm asking because I don't know.

Did I understand correctly? You can create a site with a .onion extension without a domain on a hosting service.

I'm thinking. If you can do it this way with .onion, can you do it with something else? That would be a bit unusual.

If that were possible, being able to customize the extensions would be interesting. Being able to customize brand names. Like .mybrand, or .egg, .bread, whatever you want.

ugur2nd··on Normalize.css
Why is Normalize.css back in the spotlight after all this time?

My take on Normalize.css is how something so simple can have such a huge impact. It's astonishing.

ugur2nd··on Be Careful with Obsidian
Obsidian is a startup that's been on my radar. It inspires me. They're able to go so far as to challenge Notion with their small team, which I appreciate. By the way, I'm not saying Notion is bad. I think it's revitalizing the industry.

On the other hand, I was unaware of the vulnerabilities in the Apple ecosystem. Or rather, I didn't think there would be. The article raised my awareness.

ugur2nd··on Tell HN: I underestimated how lonely building solo can be
2 years ago I had a co-founder. I was so relaxed at that time that my responsibility was reduced and my mental health increased. After my co-founder and I broke up, my brain felt like it was gonna explode. Within a few months I had immediately created a comfort zone. The worst thing about being alone is not being able to consult anyone when making decisions. Sometimes I really feel like my soul is separating from my body.
ugur2nd··on Ask HN: Why is the gray color of TailwindCSS dark blue?
I read it, it's a good article. It's probably an article I can recommend in the future when I talk to people about colors.
ugur2nd··on Ask HN: Why is the gray color of TailwindCSS dark blue?
I see—design rule. And your website is inspiring.
ugur2nd··on Ask HN: Why is the gray color of TailwindCSS dark blue?
Ok. Understand. Thank you.
ugur2nd··on Show HN: I made AI in less than 15 minutes
I made Bxrd AI in less than 15 minutes. It is a product made entirely for fun. I'm curious about people's reactions. I wonder how they will use the product? We'll wait and see!
ugur2nd··on [dead]
I know the HackerNews audience and I rewrote this message 18 times to avoid offending them. I got a little help from AI. If you dislike me, tell me why. I want to improve myself!
ugur2nd··on The failure of the Domino's 30-minute delivery guarantee
Similar is the case with apps like Uber Eats and Getir. I only know that in Getir they use different algorithms with artificial intelligence to find the shortest and fastest route. I'm sure other vehicles also use it, but I haven't heard such rumors about them.
ugur2nd··on Ask HN: How do you visualize complex concepts?
I take a notebook and a pen and go outside to a park and first write the information in mixed form. Then I number them by writing numbers next to them. I scribble and write a new one until I reach the order I want. When I reach the result I want, I clear it and go home and digitize the notebook on the computer.
ugur2nd··on Why chocolate is skyrocketing in price
In fact, can we say it's a kind of global warming? As the balance is disturbed, other things are also disturbed. For example, there was no frost on olive trees in Turkey this year. It was supposed to happen. Because there was no frost on the leaves due to the extreme heat, the viruses did not die and now the viruses in the olive trees have started to ruin the olives. This is why olive oil prices have increased in the country.
ugur2nd··on Ask HN: One-person companies—how do you manage it all and stay sane?
Instead of saving money, don't stop using paid tools! Today I'm getting the top package on the automation tool IFTTT, and my mind is at ease. I'm kicking myself that I wish I hadn't saved money earlier. Using tools that save time and energy increases lifespan. :)
ugur2nd··on Ask HN: One-person companies—how do you manage it all and stay sane?
You have to delegate. It can be a human or a robot. For example, make stock and use tools for social media content. Use IFTTT, Zapier, Make or n8n. Hire a freelance assistant etc.
ugur2nd··on 'The Invention of Prehistory' Review: Facing Deep Time
This reminded me of the French movie "la guerre de feu" about the people who found fire in the cave period. The interesting part of the movie was not in French. It's not in English either. There are no words in the movie. You should watch it.
ugur2nd··on A curious phenomenon called 'Etak'
I'm interested in this kind of thing. How things work and so on, the mechanisms and algorithms behind it. The article is long and I haven't read the whole thing yet, but I upvoted it to read it later. That way it's easy to access.
ugur2nd··on Lore Harp McGovern built a microcomputer empire from her suburban home
It's a fascinating story. I feel that most things are possible when I see stories like this.
ugur2nd··on Ask HN: Is there a need to make a new "Link in Bio" website?
Hi, I reached out to Google Keyword Planner. Probably verifiable/yes.
ugur2nd··on Ask HN: Is there a need to make a new "Link in Bio" website?
For example, like making "link in bio" with Airtable.
ugur2nd··on Ask HN: Because of ChatGPT, original content is not believed
I asked him too. :) I ask people too. One source is not enough.
ugur2nd··on Ask HN: Because of ChatGPT, original content is not believed
1000 posts is a challenge for me. But I'm going to write it me, and I don't like being told otherwise.
ugur2nd··on n8n.io - A powerful workflow automation tool
Locale is easy to install and difficult to add to the server.
ugur2nd··on Ask HN: Is posting 10 blog posts a day Spam?
I don't think every reader will read them all. For example, I know a lot of blogs, but I don't read every post. I will share in certain categories. Those who are interested will follow those categories. At that time, there will be 1 or 2 posts a day for him.
ugur2nd··on Ask HN: Is posting 10 blog posts a day Spam?
In a few hours. But I've been thinking about what to write for a week. First I'll come up with 1000 blog titles (I've come up with 400 post ideas. but I'm having a hard time coming up with them now.) Then it will be easier for me to write.

Of course, I have some blog post ideas, but it may take weeks to make them. We'll see about that in time.

ugur2nd··on Ask HN: Is posting 10 blog posts a day Spam?
It's a powerful story, and frankly, it boosted my confidence. Thank you.

I can buy it too, but I wonder if there will be negative parts...
