Obey propaganda :D actually, conform to influence doesn't mean that. It means, to influence a group you need to be part of the group. To be part of the group, you need to first conform to the group.

It's actually a very pithy phrase, because it's exactly the "message" of the product as art, reversed. Stavros would prefer not to conform, and doesn't care if that means he doesn't influence. Although... ironically he is probably one of the more influential HN posters. Now, profitable , I dunno, do you really mean "conform [in order] to profit", does "influence" just mean "exploit" [in the economic sense. mostly] no…

I can confirm I have influenced zero people, which is probably for the best.

Here's the email with the innocent subject of "historious hasn't seen you in a while!": Hello! We noticed that you haven't logged on historious in a while. Is there anything we can do to help? Please don't hesitate to reply to this email with anything you may need. To refresh your memory, historious is a new kind of bookmarking service which creates your very own, personalised search engine of things you like. Just a…

I’m sure we’re all very sorry that you didn’t read an email which, in retrospect, was important. It was careless of you, but we’re all careless sometimes. I doubt stavros has the ability to force you to read your emails, though. Given that, it’s possible they aren’t at fault for your oversight.

He definitely can by putting a warning on the subject. If I read every email from every online service I've ever signed up for, I would be doing this all day long and be unemployed!

No exactly. It is his problem, as otherwise I would have paid 14 years times $30, i.e., $420 of lost revenue just from me.

>I've been hoping for an Imgur replacement for simple, hosted image sharing. If you are willing to pay for things, then any good old web host + FTP are your friends.

Or ipfs if your machine is often online

Again, straight up running an FTP server on your machine is still the easiest way to transfer large files.

Also faster than uploading to the cloud, and then having the other party download it.

Damn Gen Z, with their avocado toast and IMGZ subscriptions.

Oh! Would it were that I were Gen Z :)

I've been hoping for an Imgur replacement for simple, hosted image sharing. I'm happy to pay $1/mo, but when I tried to upload https://camo.githubusercontent.com/9ec8d13de2878c899fda0bd43... I got this, which doesn't look like what I uploaded: https://cln.sh/4coS9T / https://imgz.org/i5qphFzd.gif

There is ImgBB. You need to create an account, but it is free.

I thought the comments to this were well above average on the entertaining scale. Pretty embarrassing, though, that probably the majority of comments seemed to take it seriously, even reprimanding the creator for not being serious enough, not taking his Business seriously enough. It seems to create dissonance among many that such a thing even exists. People seem deeply confused it's not full speed ahead, like every o…

> Wasn't the internet 100% like that in the good old days? Maybe I was too harsh and you are describing my comments, but I was reading on this very site image hosting is not a funny joke business, it's a serious endeavor that deals with content abuse and CSAM content infringements quite often. There's maybe truth to your statement, but once a piece of work's defense is its a joke, does it really shield you from the l…

one major difference: this is not free unlimited image hosting but paid limited hosting. That reduces "sustainable" abuse vectors quite a bit.

If you don't mind using AWS you can just set up an S3 bucket and a point a CloudFront distro to it (takes upload() { aws s3 cp ${@:2} $1 s3://$BUCKET_NAME echo https://$CLOUDFRONT_DOMAIN/$1 | pbcopy }

That sounds more annoying than paying $12/yr.

Strike while the iron is hot I guess, but not sure why you you are being such an ass in your copy, it's kind of a turn off, even if it is super cheap. Maybe it's a trend where if something is super cheap people tend to write in that style, but it kind of erodes trust, unless this is supposed to be a joke site, but the fact that I don't know really hurts your chance to actually get users to want to give you their emai…

I found the copy hilarious, refreshing, and delightful.

It's somewhat more seasoned, yet "how banks work" was an intriguing series of posts: https://theminimilitiaapk.com/mini-militia-god-mod-apk/
