The greatest gift to my technological knowledge has been HN. The vast treasure trove of tips, tricks, tidbits, guidance, and wonder I have been given is a great thing. Though the World Wide Web has gone cold and misty in many ways, there are still many Santas riding through HN, coming down my chimney, and delivering me shiny wisdom every morning. Cheers to you all!!
Geseënde kersfees!

1: how are hosting costs paid for? 2: how many people need to get hit by a bus to bring it down? Yes, it is fragile and precarious and transient. Why would you delude yourself? I think your emotions are clouding your logical faculties. If Dan G got hit by a bus I know for a fact there is nobody who could replace him. To serf That’s a very elegant observation. When I imagine hacker news shutting down I can only think…
> 1: how are hosting costs paid for? This site is literally owned and operated by billionaires. Sam Altman could fund it with the change under his couch cushions. >2: how many people need to get hit by a bus to bring it down? Certainly more than one.

What terrible experiences to live with. You are more important than PG, then whoever claimed association with PG, and than all the others. They don't matter much at all compared with you and your life. To heck with them. Forget they exist - they will fade away - and do what you love. You have a chance to do it, and nobody can stop you.
Yes, I am seeking medical treatment and disability compensation, but this process takes time. I'd prefer death, except I lack the ability to complete suicide.
No, I am not important at all except to me. Entities and people I am calling out are more important to society than I am. As such, they can get away with shenanigans such as targeting US citizens to destroy them. This can and does happen. There is no accountability by big tech corporations or related thugs. If I died, few would notice or care.
The bottom line is that the rule of law is different when you're a VIP or VIC, versus a commoner like me -- regardless of the extent of my grievances. Humanity is littered with low class wealthy powerful sociopaths - and we depend on such amoral folks to move society forward, even if a few folks wind up as cannon fodder.
My desire to die is both due to my hearing disability, and also cemented by learned helplessness developed over a lifetime of dealing with unaccountable sociopathic apes. Dying peacefully in my sleep this holiday would be, by far, the greatest gift. Please, God, kill me before 2022.
