Why am I being downvoted for providing useful information? I don't understand HN...
- daenney 10y agoNot sure if people aren't OK with the content but you've posted it twice, which is not really cool with most people or the guidelines. Also probably the "hijacking top comment" part. The other occurrence being here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12760156 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12760156
- razster 10y agoMay not be HN doing the downvotes my friend.
- oldmanjay 10y agoIf you're attempting to understand the behavior of individual users of HN as a collective, I can assure you that your initial principles are hampering you greatly.
- brown9-2 10y agoProbably because you say to edit /etc/hosts but not what the content should be.
- PeCaN 10y ago…except they did though, at least if you've sshed into github at some point (which I think nearly everyone has).
- tedunangst 10y agoIs it hard to guess? The output of grep isn't a hint?
