just hoping for the cow that this is side view.

Amazing talk. Didn't know Margaret Murray published her memoir at age 100. Nor that the Oxford dictionary was actually inspired by the Grimm dictionary.

By the way, to turn Youtube's short videos with the normal interface, paste the video ID behind the URL https://youtu.be/

Somehow resembles custom search engines, see https://docs.searxng.org/user/configured_engines.html#configured-engines

Gist

Best way to search the web since the 2010 is creating Firefox bookmarks for each web service individual. For example, instead of using the Youtube web interface, create the following bookmark.

name: youtube

url: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%s

keyword: y

usage: ctrl+l y <space> what-ever-i-want-to-search <enter>

Works for many sites: archive.org, booklooker, cve registers, duckduckgo images, openstreetmap, wikipedia, google.

Extra plus: Only Mozzila can fingerprint how I type my keyboard.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Why are regexes difficult?
We underestimate the complexity of human culture & writing; RFCs are thus only hints.

Windows broke RFC 4122 for their UUIDs.

Another very common gotcha are spaces: they are legal. Try "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank Zappa".

Chromium-based browsers (ie. the omnibar) don't care for the URLs to have two forward slashes.

Often RFCs hold, but people's intuition is a different thing.
Intuition says case matters in URLs, but the RFCs say that's not the case (pun not intended).
