New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Migrating old Substack posts to my own blog, have a question

Ask HN: Migrating old Substack posts to my own blog, have a question 2 by Praddy | 0 comments on Hacker News. I’m moving my older posts from Substack to my personal blog and I want Google to treat my blog as the primary source going forward. Constraints: - Substack doesn’t support canonical URLs (so I can’t point Substack → my blog). - I don’t want to use a custom domain on Substack. - Going forward, I want Substack only as the newsletter, and my blog as the SEO winner. I’ve seen the “ghost post” approach (replace most of the Substack post with a teaser + link), but I don’t want to delete/gut the original Substack content because I still want readers there to have the full post. Is there any way or a hack to get this donee??

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Why isn't there competition to LinkedIn yet?

Ask HN: Why isn't there competition to LinkedIn yet? 7 by antfie | 3 comments on Hacker News. It seems there are many solutions for social media these days, but only one LinkedIn. Why are we still putting up with it? I’m surprised there’s not been a contender yet, or maybe I am not aware and perhaps that could be the rub; the challenge of acquiring enough traffic for the network effect to take hold.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: What's the most open/hacker friendly Android phone for 2026?

Ask HN: What's the most open/hacker friendly Android phone for 2026? 4 by recvonline | 1 comments on Hacker News. I am a long time Apple user, but their software keeps getting buggier, worse and I just want to switch. I moved all my data to self hosting solutions, so I all I need now is an Android phone which… is fun? Like Framework Computer fun. Are there still community based OSes out which I can flash onto a phone? Last time I had an Android phone was 2013.

New ask Hacker News story: Broadcom Changing Licensing to BSL

Broadcom Changing Licensing to BSL 3 by CubsFan1060 | 2 comments on Hacker News. I am not sure if this is part of the Bitnami Helm Chart Fiasco, but they seem to be changing open source projects from Apache to BSL. Was looking at chart-syncer, and found: https://ift.tt/elnUSM0 And it depends on some tooling from VMware, which has the same notice: https://ift.tt/IV6X215 Not that I'm surprised, just stumbled across this.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How many email accounts do you have?

Ask HN: How many email accounts do you have? 2 by asim | 3 comments on Hacker News. I was thinking about this recently as a I work on a new mail client/server. I have one personal email that has a custom domain. 1 that's a plain gmail address and then a variety of random accounts I can't even remember but I guess were legacy or tests for new providers like protonmail. Then there's email address for whatever company you work for at the time. I realise I don't really want to hand out my personal email in a public setting and my company address is mostly for internal stuff. So where's public email? Are we missing public email accounts? One's that you can just hand out anywhere?

New ask Hacker News story: Firefox restart and tabs = Google says I'm a robot

Firefox restart and tabs = Google says I'm a robot 3 by prirun | 0 comments on Hacker News. Yesterday I let Firefox update. After it restarted and opened my tabs, some of which were on Google, Google decided I was a robot and made me go through captchas. If Google wants people off their platform, this is a great start toward that goal!
