    I'm sorry but it sounds like this one's a case of Money Laundrying.

    Do you have support for Wireguard? If not, I think you should try to get Wireguard implemented in your service. I would love to try your VPN out. Thanks.

    Nothing really special. I found it boring as well. Although a bit bummed out about how Stroll had to retire really early in the race. The kid seems to be very promising! Also, here's a good meme...

    Also, here's a good meme from Force India about those ultrasoft tyres that Grosjean used.

    I would love to quote my post from the other thread in here:

    I like listening to podcasts when I am walking or when I have a lot of silent space. For me it is almost like communicating with people, mostly through just listening to their ideologies and point of view, and also as a way to stay up-to-date with new stuff and trends. The podcast that I would love to recommend is Linear Digressions. It is a really fun data science podcast, where two people discuss about the current trends and works related to data science (duh), but in a quite innovative way. The podcast is run by a couple of really good people from Udacity, Katie Malone and Ben Jaffe, and discussions are quite funny to listen to -- while also being really informed and technically sound. I am pretty sure anyone interested in the intricacies of "what is x and how x works?" would love this podcast. And I totally recommend this podcast to anyone who is into data science. I would also like the readers of this post to suggest any related -- funny or technical, or both funny and technical podcasts, because I think this world needs more such intresting podcasts!

    It is not about having a third party service, I just meant to say that not having a search service literally cripples a huge part of the site. For example, I had a friend over a couple hours ago and I wanted to show him a post on HackerNews which I saw a couple of days ago. I literally had to resort to a third party service to do it for me because HN does not have a native service.

    I do not mean to compare with a third-party search engine in my suggestion, but I hope you get it.

    I am absolutely loving Tildes so far! I have been using HackerNews for a long time and I think a couple of things that sites like those lack is 2-Factor Authentication and a dedicated on-site search functionality. Even though this is not a priority, nor does this site require any personal data, I think adding a 2FA would allow users to strengthen (?) their account at one point. I also think a site-wide search would be a good feature to have. HN does not have a native search and you need to use 3rd party services through HN API, which I think isn't really intuitive.

    Neither of these are a priority, but I think having these features early on would actually be a good thing to do.

    hello! I am also a hiphop/rap enthusiast. I have been listening to quite a bit of hiphop for a long time, including Nas. I have something for you, I don't know if you have heard of Odd Future [1], but I find them to be pretty similar and really very interesting! Also, while I am at it, shoutout to BROCKHAMPTON [2] for being really amazing at this game!
