Well, yes. People have been diagnosed with skin cancer when a doctor saw a picture of them in an article and reached out to them.

The URL for this page is very generic and bound to become a 404 page. Thinking about URLs is important to prevent link rot.
Re:YAML is not a superset of JSON on Wednesday September 11, 2024 @04:22AM (#41509274)
You're right. I must have clicked the wrong link, the YAML 1.0 spec doesn't mention JSON. The quote was from 1.2, thanks for pointing that out!

The YAML 1.0 spec states:

> YAML can therefore be viewed as a natural superset of JSON, offering improved human readability and a more complete information model.

Re:Ask HN: Is nginx.org (the domain-name itself) gone? on Friday March 22, 2024 @05:59AM (#39789005)
It currently works about half of the time for me. Lookups going through ns2.nginx.org seem to work but ns.nginx.org returns SERVFAIL.

Cloudflare still has the records cached, if you need urgent access to their downloads:

~ dig nginx.org @1.1.1.1 +short

52.58.199.22

3.125.197.172

Webserver still works, looks like their NS servers are down.

This article is using Vaultwarden, not the Bitwarden server. It's wrongly referring to Vaultwarden as "BYOPM hosts a Bitwarden instance" and "the Docker Image of Bitwarden." It is not, it is hosting a Vaultwarden instance. This is an issue as people using Vaultwarden report bugs to the Bitwarden project, where they can't be helped.

Oh, makes sense, thanks!

Confusing text in the readme. Does it have dependencies or not?

Re:Show HN: Bloben – Self-hosted web CalDAV calendar client on Wednesday April 06, 2022 @04:25AM (#30929771)
Shows the loading spinner forever for me. Turns out it tries to use a local storage feature that's not available in Firefox private windows. Might want to catch that error and show a message, as I had to open the console to find out I don't need to wait for it.
Re:Why Space Cadet pinball was removed [video] on Sunday September 19, 2021 @08:07AM (#28583686)
I actually tried to use the screenshot. Autoplay is disabled in my browser, I suppose it's easier to see that it's not a webapp when the video is playing.
