.uk is not the same as .co.uk, .uk is in fact one of those scummy TLDs.

I can relate. I have every cable broadcast of WWE (WWF back then) from around 1996 to 2001 on VHS.

Good to see good ol' Benjamin Franklin pirating other people's work.

Looking good, you're right it's not for everyone but it will be the right solution for some, so don't get discourage from these mostly negative (rightly) comments. I see you comparatively to Serverpilot which is another server management for dummys type of service, they have made themselves a nice niche in the novice website admin community, which is where I see your service succeeding. Having said that one reason for the success of Serverpilot is that the founders had excellent reputation in the dev community as long time Microsofties, but browsing Shellvault I see no information who is behind the service. I have no idea who you are and that's what makes me hesitant about using your service. Some background info would help. BoL.

New comment by freakz in "Show HN: Dark Reader extension – Dark mode for every website"

freakz — Tue, 04 Dec 2018 17:02:09 +0000

A question for anyone that knows. With this extension I like to keep everything in light mode with Brightness, Contrast and Sepia off, and Greyscale to 100%. While I like dark mode on macOS all the time I don't really like the web content on dark mode, but with this greyscale setup I feel my eyes relax while keeping images in color in the content. Long term is this setup good or bad for the eyes?

Is there good internet throughout Chiang Mai? I had a friend stayed there for a week as a guess in a house with a 50/50 up and down internet connection. He couldn't tell me details because such a brief stay and the house owner not being there. I'm surprised there's such speed there. Would love to relocate to Thailand if I could have such stable fast speeds.
