Should be fixed now, as well as the issue that came out of the fix where you couldn't log in.

Petit Biscuit's new album has pretty much been my jam for the last week.

    I love Blade Runner. I think it's a great film. But it includes this scene

My wife and I just watched Blade Runner for the first time a week or so ago so the Weinstein stuff was fresh in our minds, but I'm surprised I hadn't heard much about that scene beforehand. For years I had heard that I should see Blade Runner, that it was a cult classic, but for me that scene would have been a huge caveat to give. Other than that it was great, though.

Note to self: fix spotify embeds

Ha! That's a pretty great hack, thanks for the tip :)

    If they were half as competent as they are malevolent we'd be in real trouble.

That has been the most amazing thing to watch for me. It's like a race to see who can shoot themselves in the foot fastest between the parties, and the GOP has more guns.

forwardslash  ·  2570 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Bugski: Monospaced font doesn't appear in post previews

Thanks for the bugski. For the preview we use customized version of a javascript markdown library which isn't a perfect one-to-one comparison to the formatting that happens when you submit. I pushed a fix that I should fix this issue now.

forwardslash  ·  2712 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Is search broken or disabled again?

Tagging them bugski is alright, but you can pm mk rob and I, or use the github repo issues which I've been meaning to make more use of.

forwardslash  ·  2712 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Is search broken or disabled again?

We've been moving a bunch of stuff into a proper database and it looks like it may have borked some things like these, thanks for catching it!

forwardslash  ·  2712 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: So much spam right now, is it possible to do something about URL shorteners?

I'm on it, but mobile at the moment. Going to be doing something more permanent once I'm home.

forwardslash  ·  2746 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: DIYski! What have you been up to around the house?

I'm nowhere near as handy as most of you, so the most DIY thing I've been up to has been working on completing our Cat Highway that goes around our main room. One of the latest additions was this cat bridge across our bedroom door

Ha! Through constant frustration; it hardens those memories quickly.

forwardslash  ·  2788 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Bugski: For the life of me, I can't get into the comments section for this post

Ha, yeah, we're looking into this at the moment. Something in bfv's feed or user data is probably borked at the moment.

drat, thanks for the catch!

forwardslash  ·  2831 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Is the search button broken ?

It should be back now! Sorry for the delay.

forwardslash  ·  2873 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Beta Features

Nothing at the moment, unfortunately. As we continue to develop we hope to open source more of hubski and its tools so people can help work on it. For now it's just this, which mostly some extensions of a compiler. We'll definitely keep the community informed with the #devski tag though.

What device/browser are you using?

Mmm, those look good. I'm trying to find a place that sells authentic Belgian Pearl Sugar so I can make me some liege waffles

Certs are totally free from Lets Encrypt, even for enterprise level sites. I don't know of what large sites use it yet, but it's definitely possible.

Thought I had fixed this earlier, fixed it properly now; should work.

Looooove Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. Haven't gotten as deep into it as others have, analyzing it and such, but it gets the right amount of dark absurdity for me.

I am consistently amazed at CEO responses and how little they say in so many words.

forwardslash  ·  2920 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: My Heroic and Lazy Stand Against IFTTT

I love the idea of IFTTT too, even have a bunch of recipes set up to disseminate photos of my cats to all their social media profiles. As a programmer I could even make a custom IFTTT for me, but I'm far too lazy. I just hope that they either change their mind or someone else steps in and does a better job.

She's probably my and my wife's favourite youtuber. Been watching since she did Hatoful Boyfriend.

forwardslash  ·  2921 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: 168th Weekly "Share Some Music You've Been Into Lately" Thread

Welp, I know what album I'm listening to this week.

forwardslash  ·  2921 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What are your favorite youtube channels?

Some ones that haven't been mentioned

PressHeartToContinue - for animu and dating sim loveliness

RedLetterMedia - for movie/film critic silliness. better known for their Plinkett reviews, Half in a Bag is good and their Best of the Worst are very entertaining.

AllShamNoWow - gaming youtuber who mostly streams on Twitch but posts some funny stuff on youtube

gazorra - someone who just mashes together Star Trek: TNG episodes into funny bits. Hidden gem in my opinion, though his best video is this one about Riker which I highly recommend.

Commander Holly - BIRBS, games, cosplay

crendorIRL - High Quality Non Content

Good catch, should be fixed now.

forwardslash  ·  2922 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Hubski, what are your side projects?

I have a few, including a service for digital artists that I'm working on with my wife. I recently put pen to paper - as it were - on an idea I had for a personal TIL git repo tool.
