I've heard this every UI update for the past 20 years.

That's why I emphasized this is different.

Apple fans bemoaned the Settings menu changing from a grid to a list, or the battery getting a skeumorphic icon, but that doesn't really matter.

The Liquid Glass stuff was forced on users in ways their other OS updates weren't, and it has caused serious performance, stability, and usability problems throughout the entire OS.


I'm happy with it. My non-techie partner is happy (or more like "I don't care") with it. All my non-techie friends and family don't give a flying f*. I just think this site has recurrent issues with all redesigns and no, this time is no different.

> It's fairly easy to work out what's happening

off you go then, what is it?


Dunno, start by reading the national security strategy and count the number of times it mentions the words "Arctic" or "Greenland"? (hint: it's zero).

Then maybe look at the Nato chain of command and who was interviewed and what was said in mid-Jan?


Please lessen the snark and dictate what you're saying here. Sources to published docs would be even more preferable.

I'm not going to serialize the past 60 years of US foreign policy in to a pithy post on a meaningless internet forum. For free.

aw man, I thought I would finally find out whats really going on :(

Well, thanks anyway.

Amazing how outdated that document became. We all knew it was written for an audience of one, but still such transparent Emperors New Clothes vibe.

im still waiting to find out whats happening...

they gave us doggo

Good idea, I did just such a thing myself, deleting all my socials and only posting my photos to my own website: https://dombarker.co.uk/

Was fun to make 'just a website' for a change too.


Beautiful photos! And the site is very nice looking too .

Can I ask what you do wrt the photo storage for your site? I'm looking to get back into photography and don't use Instagram etc, so want somewhere to post. Wondering how I might set up my own site for this purpose. Thanks


thank you very much :)

I use google cloud buckets for the raw storage, and then Imagekit as a CDN / transform layer (to prevent direct access and to crop/resize etc).

the rest of if it is a nextjs app router jobby. All your regular LLM's will be able to generate one of these for you quite straightfowardly


Lovely, thanks. Keep up the great work!

I have done the same, but your website is really nice! And your photos are lovely. I like how you've indicated which cameras and gear you use for certain trips.

That 600mm Sony lens must be fun to carry around. I used to have a Tamron 150-600mm lens for my Nikon, but my wife said it looked ridiculous, so I got rid of it. So now I'm mostly on M43 for portability.


I dont think its too bad! I have it on a peak design strap and have it on my back diagonally. It probably does look ridiculous, but im sure them camo outfit is just as bad as the camera!

Yes the OM-System stuff is awesome, i think its the only thing that would tempt me away from Sony

the camera data is all in the EXIF so it was pretty easy to do. Good olde CRUD apps are a joy to build now!


Great photos. I love your Norfolk robins. I also love that you've taken the time to set up browsing by species!

If you're at all interested in feedback:

- When scrolling through a gallery grid, the multiple fixed-position headers eat up an awful lot of screen real estate. On my MacBook Air (effectively 1280x800), I can only see one full row of photos at a time. Feels very cramped.

- Navigating to a photo from a gallery and then hitting my browser's “Back” button takes me back to the “Report” tab on the galley, not the photo grid. Makes gallery browsing pretty difficult.

- Maybe both of these problems could be ameliorated by making gallery photos open in the lightbox, rather than shunting you directly to their pages. Although...

- Items in a gallery's slideshow/lightbox display don't have a link to their photo pages. Maybe the name of the photo could link to its page?


im very interested, thanks so much!

- gallery photos now open in lightbox

- gallery lightbox has view photo button

todo: make fixed header a bit shorter


Wow, cool – IMO, the galleries are so much easier to browse now.

I'm not sure if selling prints is a priority for you, but it would be rad if you could do on-demand prints. In the meantime, I'll e-mail you about a couple :)


there's a handful here: https://dombarker.co.uk/shop

I didnt want to have it so that all photos can be printed, some just dont have the image quality that you need so I just curated a handful to start.

But yeah, any you like you have my email, i do a lot of home printing fwiw


I run something similar, ish: https://photos.rymc.io/

I still have an account or two elsewhere, but all photos get posted here then linked there with decent open graph previews.


Speaking of open graph, your index doesn't have it when I bookmark using Raindrop.

As in rymc.io, or the index of photos.rymc.io?

I have it earmarked to get around to a generic OG preview for the root of photos.rymc.io, it's just a time issue - been pretty busy lately with racing.


Gorgeous photos. One point of feedback: I went to your shop to view prints, and while it was nice to see them "in situ", I couldn't see the actual images because of how they small they were in frame!

oh wow! thanks for checking at letting me know, i think you are the first vistior to a shop page in GA!

Great photos and I like how you show metadata, remind me of Flickr.

I think photography is one of the things that better to have website than use social media like Instagram. You can display your photos however you like and not to worry about platform limitations.

Edit: Do you use CMS?


no CMS, its a nextjs app using GCP for storage

Great photos! Thanks for sharing!

no worries, glad you liked them

Your photos are amazing!

you are very kind :)

Excellent photography

thank you!

paste headline into google, click first link


Huh, it has to be Google, specifically, too! There used to be a shortcut for this action on HN (a link under the submission saying "web" or something?), but it seems that has been removed.


still broken, thats nearly all day, suprised not more noise!


It's a pretty niche region. It's about 20% more expensive than other major regions so I think it's unlikely to be a core part of most large deployments. That being said, we did hear about it and continue to track it.


the EU (where I am!) is not a niche region and was also taken down


but also affecting me in UK / EU, can't deplot anything atm


Make Theatre Great Again


can we use it for, erm, other 'freedoms' ?
