> Why even have a status page if it is not going to be accurate in real time?

The funny thing is reddit's status page used to have real-time graphs of things like error rate, comment backlog, visits, etc. Not with any numbers on the Y-axis, so you could only see relative changes, really, but they were still helpful to see changes before humans got around to updating the status page.

There's a ctrl+open shortcut, if I remember correctly, which may be what the parent comment is referring to.

Nope, they've been making it steadily more difficult with each release. The control open shortcut no longer works.

Nope, it has been removed. Also God help you if want to run something that needs system extensions..

You will need to boot to recovery mode, go through utility and enable it: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mchl768f7291/...

Basically average users will never be able to pull this off.

As of macOS 15 (I think?), that shortcut stopped working, it will just show the same unverified software warning.

They're not linking to a change in wording? The "Does Firefox sell your personal data?" question was deleted entirely. Unless the parent comment or link was edited at some point, maybe.

Elsewhere in the commit is a change of wording. That particular part of the commit didn't have the updated statement.

The blog post talks about DNS glue records, but are they really relevant to the issue if the domain is suspended? A suspended domain is a suspended domain, regardless of whether it's using vanity nameservers.

I keep the module index[0] in my bookmarks bar and that's also been pretty easy to search and read.

There have also been (possibly AI-generated) comments that are simply rephrasing prior comments or even comments on the same post and piggybacking onto an already upvoted comment. It's not as common as the straight copy and paste comments but it is obvious by the same limited user history and rephrased comments that don't quite make sense in context.

A small typo I noticed - "Case-sensitive: 53^5 = 62,259,690,411,360" should be to the eighth power, not the fifth.

Thanks. Fixed

Suggestion: after "a longer ID with a lower chance of visual ambiguity" show how many characters that will be needed to have the same number of IDs as 53^8 using the 22 encoding.

I.e. for a given number of IDs, how many characters are needed in the 53 versus 22 encoding (people who are not good at math might assume it is more than twice as many).

Actually, 53^8 = 62,259,690,411,361 (not ..360)

> What is Reddit's involvement other than their website being used for this communication?

I think that's it, which is why reddit is referred to as non-party in the motion.

It's a domain registered yesterday and an account registered an hour ago expressly to post the website, so the barrier to entry isn't particularly high.

It's a marketing blog for a service that relies on storing files locally, so that sounds about right. The HN username also matches the blog's author, so it does feel like they're posting exclusively for self-promotion.
