I used to use Dropbox at work and also personally.

Work didn’t like it as Dropbox was new/unknown and eventually banned us from using it. This was about 15 years ago and the only way to share files between colleagues was to manually upload a file to their shared drive (through a browser) and then ask your colleague to go download it.

Works Dropbox was replaced by Microsoft. My personal Dropbox was replaced by Google Drive, and then by iCloud.

Nice to know Dropbox is still make lots of cash really. They started it all.

Does this play music you’ve downloaded in random order? How do you learn of new tracks? That’s where I like radio/Spotify - I get to hear new music.

So, if you’re reading this post right now, it means my server is working, and that this site is being served by an iPad 2 from 2012, running iOS 6.1.3 and Insomnia to keep it connected to Wi-Fi.

When I pinged your domain it came back as CloudFlare. Did you mean

So, if you’re reading this post right now, it means this site is being served CloudFlare.

I jest. I imagine you did this to keep your IP address private? Just curious why it wasn't mentioned in the blog post? My original question was going to be if your ISP may have a problem with your set up (giving it's on the front page of HN and will be experiencing some traffic).

I’ve recently started using chatGPT to create images for me to print and colour with the kids. I really like the concept.

A couple of feedback points:

I cannot ‘swipe left/back’ on iPhone (safari) after viewing an image. Took me a while to find the cross in the top right.

I clicked the tags expecting to see a list of images for that tag.

There’s no way to view the Pro page after viewing an image that required Pro. Took time to find the page so I could view the pricing.

Not sure how it fits in legally, but I’d like categories like Disney, Animals, Cartoons etc,

I’ve recently become interested in hosting my own VPN, due to the amount of websites that require me to disable my VPN when visiting their site.

I imagine those websites block IP ranges of popular VPN providers.

Am I right in thinking that hosting my own VPN would resolve this issue?

Wasn’t this how penicillin was found? On some cantaloupe sent in by an average joe?

I've been stung by one of these on my foot while surfing. It was painful. Painful enough for me to get out of the water and call it a day.

The man in the photograph with his limb covered must have had an awful day.
