I’m working on https://lurkhub.com a web app that lets me store my bookmarks, articles to read later and rss feeds in a private GitHub repo.

Funny to see mmm.com still works, but it loads up the 3M site without its stylesheet and shows a 404 page. I guess the redirect has been forgotten about at some point.
Update: this should be fixed now, thanks again for letting me know about this issue
Hi thank you for trying it and finding that bug, I can see the bug with creating the new repos but only happens when published. I'll work on a fix for this.

In the meantime if you create a private repo called `lurkhub-data` and a public repo called `lurkhub-posts` on your account then log back in it should hopefully work.

Show HN: LurkHub – Store your bookmarks, articles, feeds and posts in GitHub

Hi I'm Leslie and LurkHub is something I’ve been building to help me learn web development and scratch an itch: I wanted a simple way to save bookmarks and other stuff to help me navigate the web. Since I already use Git and GitHub to organise personal projects, it felt natural to store this data in a private GitHub repo and access it via the API. The data is in readable JSON files for...

Wow I had no idea these were available. I really hope some of these become the default config.

It's not loading for me in Firefox on desktop either; I found the image in the source code if anyone is interested:

Could liquid hard drives be the next big thing?
I wish Apple could figure out something like Proton for MacOS. It feels like a relatively small investment in this area could unlock a huge catalogue of classic games. It's the only thing I feel I'm missing by switching from Linux.

Off topic but the favicon for this website is giving me big Windows 3.1 File Manager nostalgia. Whenever I see a file icon from that era it takes me back. </getting-old>
I love iCloud but it does occasionally get stuck for me. The best solution I have found is to kill all of its processes (called bird) to restart it. It usually gets it syncing again pretty much instantly:

I'd never heard of SingleFile before but it looks excellent. It would be great if Firefox could incorporate it into its save function too. Firefox save page works but as shown on the SingleFile demo video, it's not really what a user would expect, it's often not complete and splitting it across multiple files/directories isn't ideal either.
I was never clear on this extension. Does it just suppress the the cookie prompts, does it only accept essential cookies or does it do the default action and accept everything?
