seems to work here


down again, all my website rely on Cloudflare DNS are down


The effects in Captain America were terrible - joking! The thing is, AI is plastered everywhere these days on platforms (that were already deteriorating before AI, lets be honest). A lot of people don't want to be bombed with fake content.


A lot of people don't want to be bombed with fake content.

People don't want to be bombed with obviously fake content. If the content is sufficiently good enough for them to accept it they'll happily click Like on it. And that bar is a heck of a lot lower for most people than you'd think. People crave novelty over almost every other attribute of content. They want to see things they've not seen before, and to share those things with their friends so they get the kudos of being the person who discovered something first.


You are definitely not alone - I miss the days of small forums, articles not written by AI or for SEO etc...

I also miss the creatively built small websites where people shared their hobbies etc. "Social" media killed a lot.

The web is becoming less and less genuine, it's depressing.


They're still out there... See https://bearblog.dev/discover/, https://kagi.com/smallweb, https://peopleandblogs.com/, and probably lots of others.


Chipping in with the list I used for my newsletter: https://untested.sonnet.io/notes/places-to-find-indie-web-co...


Not as many though - and especially when it comes to websites about hobbies non tech related.


I'm working on building a few niche marketplaces/communities - and a platform (hosted and self hosted option) allowing people to start their own niche groups.


"The Act applies to services even if the companies providing them are outside the UK should they have links to the UK. This includes if the service has a significant number of UK users"


This is gonna sound crazy, but you can potentially just ignore unjust laws in countries like the UK if you don't live there. At your own risk of course, but that is the nature of protest. If OP divests completely then it should be out of his hands.


The OP does live in the UK. It would be insane to uproot their life just to keep a forum alive, while still having to deal with potential headaches related to it.


Yes, my suggestion to OP was to pass it off to a non-UK steward.


>"...This includes if the service has a significant number of UK users".

"[A] significant number"? How Britishly vague.

There was one person involved in the doompf of that ceo guy....

I would say that a significant-sized football crowd would be over 75,000.

That's a lot of numbers that 'significant', has to lean on.


> The subsection headed ‘User numbers’ (which begins at paragraph 5.7) explains when a service is to be treated as having more than a particular number of monthly active United Kingdom users for those measures which apply in relation to services of a certain size, and how to calculate the number of monthly active United Kingdom users. The definition of ‘large service’ is included in the definitions section in Section 5 of this document.

That section details how to calculate the figures, because they're relevant for sections like CSAM scanning

> Services that are at high risk of imagebased CSAM and (a) have more than 700,000 monthly active United Kingdom users or (b) are file-storage and file-sharing services.

Cool stuff, only feedback I have is that it could be a bit clearer on the homepage what your product does - I only found out when playing around (I didn't read your post before trying). Maybe make it clear what it does before letting people play with it so have the test box in a 2 column layout or perhaps later on down the page? I didn't expect there was any other content/scroll on the homepage when I first landed on it.


Ah Ok, thank you for the feedback!


> Models 3/Y are literally one of the cheapest EVs available in EU/US?

They aren't (in EU)? Dacia Spring, Citroën e-C3, Fiat 500e, BYD Dolphin, ID.3 & Peugeot e-208 to name a few are quite a bit cheaper.


Let’s say I have an idea but it’s a niche, I know it won’t be more than ~1M in yearly revenue at its best. What is interesting for YC and what not when it comes to potential size?


YC's in the business of high-growth startups. You don't have to know how to build a high-growth startup—YC partners are experts in teaching and helping founders to do that. But if you're sure you don't want a high-growth startup, that might mean it's not a good fit.

However, your question is trickier than it seems because so many major startups begin as 'toy' or 'niche': https://paulgraham.com/altair.html. If you make something people want, there are often ways for it to grow—and perhaps grow big—that aren't obvious at first. The Airbnb founders stuck for a long time with their 'airbed' idea before making the obvious-in-retrospect (but not at the time) leap to a much larger market.


Cool - not sure I'd want my prompt to be seen by others (which you can achieve by changing the incremental id in the url). Maybe use a uuid instead if you want to make it shareable?


Sure, Thanks for the feedback. I will implement uuid also. You can consider signup if you want the url to be private. For now I have made guest searches public (As there is no identity involved)


You could also add a checkbox to make the URL private, like what Qualys SSL Server Test does. I’m not sure people want to sign up on yet another website (what will you do with my data? Where is your privacy policy?) just to generate domain names.


Found this aswell, I would make it more clear that guest searches are public.


Upvoted as I think it needs to be front and centre that the searches are public.


Ended up finding a Mermaid Diagram(?) generator on the same site (with the same incrementing id vulnerability). I typed in "A LLM" as prompt and got a great response: https://huehive.co/tools/diagrams/5633


Some interesting design decisions going on here! If I type in "cats with hats" at https://huehive.co/tools/domain_search and get redirected to https://huehive.co/tools/domain_search/5643 I can then go to https://huehive.co/tools/diagrams/5643 and it tries to make a Mermaid Diagram for the prompt "cats with hats".
