In this regard I am here to share my recent experience working in The Netherlands for recruitment agencies (uitzendbureaus) and for @HORECA. Namely I had been touch with WeAreKey BV about a front desk agent (receptionist) position in Texel at the newly opened Hotel Brasserie Den Burg, located in DenBurg an island of The North of Netherlands.
The position was advertised both on LinkedIn and the WeAreKey website overall Indeed, which was the perfect offer I have read so far. A fulltime stable contract (not the mainstream 0 hour that Horeca employers give which just ensures to vegetate but not live or take a rental contract) and so this place had even offered accommodation, which is an important aspect since the overall housing crisis has left professionals homeless.
I applied on the 30th of April, and haven’t heard anything back until the 8th of May when we had the first interview online. Then I provided heaps of references.
I was delighted that I finally found the opportunity to get back on track. After receiving that I am hired on the 27th of May, I gained access to the Mews (PMS system) with the hotel and I completed their internal trainings. Just after receiving my certificate about the course the manager (who turned to be the new hotel-owner) decided to not continue with me due less experience than colleagues when I already had been offered the position and I already began the process of moving on to my new job.
The hotelmanager named Cheng Hsu in a less than 10 minutes quick meeting decided I haven’t got enough experience to check - in and out the guests and have a pleasant conversation with them after 2,5 years of being in the hotel industry in same position with references from my previous employers.
It would’ve been accepted however I have sent all my references, all my documents to Nadja Carrillo the director of the recruitment agency and she allegedly accepted my application. We stopped the process, because of the owner of the hotel that didn’t find me sympathetic enough to work with.
Not to mention the hotel was still not open when I applied and she reached me out for the second time: first time she wrote on Indeed that the position is filled, then she texted me that it is still open due some unknown sudden changes (which was already suspicious enough to have doubts inside me) but I trusted in the chilean woman. I don’t understand what has happened but I clearly got scammed. After Cheng Hsu cancelled me - as proud Chinese member of the 21.century’s cancel culture immediately after the meeting I called Nadja, who even told me that I might could have been a housekeeper but of course after all I would’ve never humiliated myself so bad and my nationality.
I lost my current position, my entire life in The Netherlands once again and my references will not give me more references because of this situation. Clearly I wasn’t smart enough to see the red flags with the company.
If a person is hired via email by a company that’s serious and means willingness to work together from both parties. There is no such a thing as cancelling each other especially the company cannot disrespect people like me: migrants that came to make a living and already struggle a lot due to the current housing crisis and lack of support, high inflation and from all the negative circumstances around.
Unfortunately this is legal in The Netherlands, there is no measurement against scammers that allegedly hires you, ask you to do training and meetings with them for completely free and steals your ID, bank account details and tax numbers.
Then telling you sorry but we don’t plan to hire you anymore.
It took me two months to settle myself down with them, after heaps of references and see the fact is I have nothing: NADA! So dear native Spanish speakers who come to The Netherlands, please do not make a mistake like me to trust in Nadja Carrillo and her establishment called WeAreKey.

Alright, SOMEBODY needs to say it. Chess is a game for babies - it shouldn't even be classified as a strategy game anymore. It's just a simple pattern recognition game of who has a better memory. It's a static board with static units - there's nothing interesting about it. It's just a poorly designed game in general because every interesting variation has already been explored. It's so easy that there are computer programs that can beat the best players. Like I can literally beat Magnus Carlsen and all I need is Hans Niemann sending me Stockfish moves via my remotely controlled anal beads. If all I need to beat your best is to stick something up my ass - it isn't a very good strategy game.
I know many of you have devoted your lives to this terrible game and are getting upset by my condescending word choices. That's fine. I don't really care about you people - but for the people who are curious about an actually fun strategy game: I recommend a free mobile game called Uniwar on both iOS and Android that basically no one has heard of. It also happens to be coming out on Steam soon.
Uniwar is to Chess in the same vein of what Chess is to Checkers. It's basically if Starcraft and Chess had a hexagon shaped baby. There are three races with unique playstyles, and you manage an income while controlling armies in a turn based strategy format to dominate your opponent in a battle of wits - no pay to win gimmicks - only using dynamic strategy that changes every single game because the map pool is so huge, you'll almost never have repeat matches.
So who am I? I'm what you get if you combine Magnus Carlsen from Chess with Serral from Starcraft 2. I am SpankyMcCracken AKA The Art of Uniwar and I literally wrote the book on the game in order to have more competition, but no one can defeat me and I'm getting bored. I have two separate accounts I reached rank 1 in the game on with the second account having a 112-2 record while playing as "random" on my path to getting rank 1 again, so I don't want to hear any whining about balance - I won 100 games in a row playing as random - you just suck at the game.
I guarantee no Gen Z kid could beat my superior Millennial ass brain - your attention spans are too short and you have no chance. No one from Chess can beat me - there's no engine you can study or use to cheat, and you'll have to actually learn how to use your brain to think on the fly. No one from Starcraft can beat me because you're too used to clicking 1000 buttons per second while simultaneously adjusting strategies based on real time scouting and dynamically responding to what your opponent is doing with extreme precision...(actually you guys might be able to beat me if I'm being honest).
Uniwar has a small, extremely devoted international community of misfits, but they're my people and we will fuck you up. There may only be 300 of us left, but we are 300 Spartan Uniwarriors with the high ground on the leaderboard. Think you have what it takes to beat me? Meet me in the Basement chatroom and see what happens.

I was recently naturalized last August. I requested a name change during the naturalization process, but the officer who interviewed me said there wasn't going to be a judge at the oath-taking ceremony that day, so asked if I wanted to wait till after naturalization to seek the name change. I distinctly remember that he told me I can seek a name change through the local court for free within one year after naturalization. Since I was under a time crunch for travel reasons, I decided to hold off on the name change and be sworn in right away.
Fast forward to now - I am in the process of requesting a name change via my local court. I don't see a fee waiver related to naturalization. The only thing I can find online regarding "free" name change is with the US passport, which I can request for a new one within a year of the last issued one with the passport fees waived.
Does anyone have insight as to what the officer said about free name change one year after naturalization?
Also welcome any advise regarding the name change process e.g. what documents to change, in what order, how many certified copies to request from court. I did some reading online and read through some reddit posts, and am thinking to request 3 certified copies, and currently leaning towards not requesting an updated naturalization document with my preferred name. Thanks!!

I’m 16, been in foster care/ living with family for a year now. I’ve run away or been kicked out of every family member’s house except for my cousin’s, where I am rn. My mom severely physically and psychologically abused me for my entire life. Was already in the foster system once, but some idiot gave us back. She used to find any excuse to belt whip, sometimes in the face, usually with the metal end. She beat me buddy with her bare hands multiple times. I had no phone(couldn’t ask for help that way). I had no internet. I never got to go to school and am in 9th grade now as a result. I was isolated from everything and everyone except her cult church that encouraged all these behaviors. The things she said to me, I’d rather not say. The somehow it seems the only escape I can find from my pain, which I’m guessing is a result of being trapped with her for so long, is to get high. Anything I can get my hands on, meth, painkillers, weed and alcohol, psychedelics, cocaine, adhd pills, etc. I’ve done them all and they fill that hole, that longing to not be in reality any more. I feel so free when I’m high, like a little bird resting on a cloud. How do you all cope?
TL;DR: I use drugs to cope. What do you do?

I am a VMware Consumer user, and never got any information other than I had to create a new Broadcom profile. Nothing works now, unsurprisingly, in this obviously untested migration process. I say this as a QA/tester, who has worked on many large migrations professionally.
Today, I tried updating my Fusion Player installation. The update failed due to some SSL certificate error to the update servers. I thought it was probably related to this migration process. Then I read online that I can now upgrade for free from Fusion Player to Fusion Pro. "All I need to do" is update the application and remove my license key - but only removing said license after updating to 13.5.2 - not before. Updating... which I am unable to...
Then I went to the Broadcom Portal to download the latest version. However, I cannot download the latest software as I need to accept some conditions where I must enter my personal info. My name is prefilled from my VMware profile, and that particular field cannot be edited. When submitting said form, I am told my name contains invalid characters. I am unable to edit said field, but I can edit all other fields in the form.
I then visit the Profile Overview to edit my name. However, I am unable to edit my name as that is apparently top-secret info. "All I need to do" to edit my name is to make a request.
To make a request, I need to "Build My Profile". "All I need to do" to build my profile is a Site ID, which I do not have.
Ok, I now find a place to automatically request my Site ID. "All I need to do" is fill in some info. Alas, that automatic page is under eternal maintenance. I need instead to open a request with the Wolken Team - a process that redirects me back to the eternal maintenance page from which I just came. Over and over.
So, I guess Broadcom no longer wants people to use their products. That must be the logical conclusion to this process. And I hope the person who insisted that "we don't need to do any kind of testing before rolling this out" should be fired immediately. Thank you.

I don't even know if I should be calling her a best friend. Tbh, it's been a struggle to introduce her as one.
For some context, she has been in a shit workplace, where she was working overtime almost every weekend and late on Fridays. We currently live in the same house. I have been trying my best to give her advice, but she wouldn't take any of it and would end up learning it the hard way. I realized later that she doesn't ever really listen to me. She doesn't take any of my advice seriously. It was a bit disheartening, but I let it go because I understood the stress she was under. Once she finally realized she had to quit because the work was too hard on her body, she ending up staying extra and worked overtime for it (she didn't get paid for it). All because she felt bad for her colleague? I questioned her for it, and she ghosted/gave me the silent treatment for a few days. She does this often whenever I question or bring up something she did. It's always a mind battle for me. She even once ghosted me for 2 whole months all because she jumped to conclusions about a misunderstanding and couldn't even wait till morning to talk to me.
Now that she is free from work, her body is crashing from days of no sleep. I wanted to encourage her to meet a friend who is leaving in a week, and she has agreed to it before. But after I managed to get her out of the house and meet our friends, she has been treating me badly again. I don't understand when this is what she wanted me to do. She would openly joke about wanting me dead, to fall off a mountain, or to crash into a car. Even if she was doing this from sleep deprivation, to only treat me like this was so heartbreaking. And this isn't the first time she's joked about my death. She used to say that she would dream about beating me up. I brought it up to her before and all she did was laugh it off saying it was a joke. But is this what a joke should be like? Even if it was dark? She knows I wasn't in a good mental state the past year. She only ever talks to me properly if I help her with work projects.
I don't want to sound like I'm being ungrateful, but as much as I love the times we do get along, a lot of resentment builds up when she plays mind tricks on me like this. No matter who I bring this up to, no one takes me as seriously as I need them to. It's eating me away. I can't help but post this here, I am desperate for some advice. Thank you for reading if you've made it this far through my ranting 😭
I will probably delete this soon.

After brainstorming for hours and recollecting my thoughts with 3,4 coming out videos as inspiration. I finally came out......
It was unusual feeling to do it. I asked her if she is free to help me . Yes she said. At first it was uneasy every time I decided to comeout all of sudden it felt like somebody is chocking me, words were not coming out of my mouth. So I started to talk about what she gonna cook for tomorrow's breakfast. She asked "what would you like to eat ". I didn't answer it. Then I asked, "what do you think about me ?".
She said " do you want to speak about something? I asked , what do you think about what happened few hours ago, Do you have anything to say or ask.
She asked, " What were you actually doing " , I camly said, ' mom, I'm bisexual, which means I like both girls and boys, i'm trying to tell you since 2015 but didn't know how would you react '
To which softly asked " Why won't you tell us " , I replied " People don't consider it as normal, parents send their kids to Physcologist or beat them or kill them and every possible worse " " It's not a mental problems, it's just who and what I'm, right now I'm in relationship with a boy but dont know about future. It's just me for now and future. Do you accept me ? "
She said " It's really good that you understand yourself and it's your personal decision. We support you n love you "
My mom is so simple that she didn't even know why this is considered wrong in society. She felt sad for keeping my feelings buried.
She Firstly confused bisexuality with transgender and intersex. To which I explained her about lgbtqi+ community.
Her voice was enough for my mind to loosen up and said it again " I'm bisexual and I was sending nudes to MY BOYFRIEND ".
She again said that I didn't wanted to bother you but I already had realized that you wanted to comeout when I accidentally stepped in the room.
My mom is from simple bg,but she likes to read about child psychologyl parenting and other well-being books.Now she took my credit card and ordered few PRIDE books and teasing me to bring my boyfriend for dinner or atleast wanna meet him.
She asked if there are any movies about lgbtqi+, so now she is on s1e4 of HEARTSTOPPER
I actually cried a lot during this and screamed a loudly in my garden " I'm bisexual, BISEXUAL " . Now my neighbours with good hearing also know that I'm bisexual.
Thank you community for all moral boost in my previous post. This won't be possible without you all.
This all felt like Netflix series.
I LOVE YOU ALL 🤗🤗 ....

I wanted to share a project for intermediate HTML designers. I'll include the code and steps for each part. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Step 1: Setting Up The Project

Start by preparing your environment to develop an interactive photo gallery with HTML.
If you want to dive straight in, I'd recommend following along with me using our online coding environments.
We’ll use some JavaScript for this project, so I’d recommend using an online JavaScript compiler to build with. I will also outline the steps for you to create the necessary files and organize your workspace on your own computer.
Just follow these, and you'll have a solid foundation for your project.
i. Choose an IDE or Editor
Before you start, choose an IDE or editor tailored for web development. I favor Visual Studio Code (VSCode).
It's for HTML and CSS and a solid choice if you’d prefer to build on your own machine.
ii. Install Necessary Plugins
If you choose VSCode, consider installing VSCode extensions like "Live Server" to preview your HTML pages in real time and "Prettier" for code formatting.
These tools will make your development process smoother and more efficient.
iii. Create a New HTML Project
Once your editor is set up, it's time to create a new project:

• Open your editor and select the option to create a new project or folder.
• Name your project folder something descriptive, like "InteractivePhotoGallery."
• Inside this folder, create three files: index.html for your HTML content, styles.css for your CSS styles, and script.js for your JavaScript logic.

iv. Set Up a Basic HTML Structure
Open your index.html file and set up a basic HTML structure. Here’s a simple template to get you started:

          
 Header content like a title or a navigation bar 
 
 Gallery content will go here 
    

Here's the compiler where you can try it.
This is the basic structure every HTML project that uses JavaScript starts with.
We've got our DOCTYPE, HTML tag, head section (with meta tags, title, and links to our CSS and JavaScript files), and the body where our content will go.
This basic structure also introduces the JavaScript file linked with the defer attribute, ensuring it loads after the HTML content.
v. Prepare for CSS and JavaScript Development
Make sure your styles.css is linked correctly, and your script.js is set to load at the right time in your HTML file to start adding styles and functionality in the next steps.
vi. Verify Project Setup
To ensure everything is set up correctly, try opening your index.html with the Live Server plugin or directly in your browser.
You should see a blank page with the basic document structure ready to be filled with content.
And there you have it! You’ve successfully set up your environment to create an interactive photo gallery with HTML.
Next, you'll create the HTML structure for your interactive photo gallery.

Step 2: Creating the HTML Structure

With your development environment ready, it’s time to construct the HTML skeleton of your interactive photo gallery.
i. Create the Header Section
The header will introduce your gallery. You might want to include a catchy title or a brief description:

 
My Photo Gallery
 Explore my collection of high-quality images ranging from landscapes to portraits.
 
 
 
  
Caption for image 1
 
 Repeat for other images 
 

This sets the tone and context for the visitors of your gallery.
ii. Set Up the Gallery Section
This main part will hold all your images in a grid or other layout:

 
  
Caption for image 1
 
 Repeat for other images 
 

Replace "path-to-image-1.jpg" with the actual path to each image. Ensure that each image has an appropriate alt text for accessibility.
iii. Include a Filter Section (Optional)
If your gallery is large, consider adding filters to help viewers sort images by categories:

These buttons are set up to trigger JavaScript functions that will filter the gallery based on the category.
iv. Add a Modal for Image Viewing (Optional)
To enhance the interactivity, include a modal that opens when an image is clicked, allowing for a closer view:

 ×  
 
 

This section will be controlled via JavaScript to display images dynamically when clicked.
Here’s a summary of what we've accomplished in this step:

• Structured the Page Content: Created distinct sections like the header and gallery, employing semantic HTML for better accessibility and SEO.
• Utilized Semantic HTML Tags: Used
  ,

  ,
• Embedded Multimedia and Links: Introduced images with descriptive alt texts and dynamic elements like filtering buttons that will later interact with JavaScript.
• Prepared the Document for Styling and Interactivity: By structuring your document effectively, you've laid the groundwork for the next steps involving CSS styling and JavaScript functionalities.

Let’s move on to Step 3 to style your interactive photo gallery.

Step 3: Styling with CSS

Now your HTML structure is set up, it’s time to add styles to bring your interactive photo gallery to life.
We'll focus on creating a responsive layout and designing aesthetic details like animations and hover effects.
i. Include a Google Font
First, choose a font from Google Fonts that complements the aesthetic of your gallery.
For example, we might use 'Roboto' for its clean and modern appearance. Add this to your HTML file within the section:

This link imports the 'Roboto' font, with normal and bold weights.
ii. Style the Header
Begin by styling the header to make it stand out as the introduction to your gallery:

header { background-color: #f8f9fa; padding: 20px; text-align: center; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; } header h1 { font-size: 24px; color: #333; } header p { font-size: 16px; color: #666; } 

This styling gives your header a clean, professional look.
iii. Style the Gallery Layout
Use CSS Grid or Flexbox to arrange your images in a tidy, responsive grid:

#gallery { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(200px, 1fr)); gap: 10px; padding: 20px; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; } .photo { position: relative; } .photo img { width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; } .photo .caption { position: absolute; bottom: 0; background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); color: #fff; width: 100%; text-align: center; padding: 5px 0; } 

This grid layout ensures that the gallery is responsive and the images adjust to the screen size.
iv. Style the Filter Buttons
Make the filter buttons interactive and visually pleasing:

nav button { background-color: #fff; border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px 20px; margin: 10px; cursor: pointer; transition: background-color 0.3s; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; } nav button:hover { background-color: #eee; } 

The hover effect adds a dynamic element, encouraging users to interact with the filters.
v. Style the Modal for Image Viewing
Create styles for the modal that displays the full image:

.modal { display: none; position: fixed; z-index: 1000; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: auto; background-color: rgb(0,0,0,0.9); font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; } .modal-content { margin: auto; display: block; width: 80%; max-width: 700px; } .close { position: absolute; top: 15px; right: 35px; color: #f1f1f1; font-size: 40px; font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; } .close:hover, .close:focus { color: #bbb; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer; } #caption { color: #ccc; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 20px; text-align: center; width: 100%; } 

This styling will create a dark overlay when the modal is active, focusing attention on the clicked image.
vi. Ensure Responsiveness
Add media queries to ensure your gallery looks good on both desktops and mobile devices:

u/media (max-width: 600px) { #gallery { grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(150px, 1fr)); } } 

This media query adjusts the size of the gallery cells on smaller screens below 600px.
Here’s a summary of what we've accomplished in this step:

• Enhanced Visual Design: We applied CSS to improve the aesthetics and user interaction of your gallery.
• Responsive Design Implementation: Using CSS Grid and media queries, the gallery adapts to different screen sizes ensuring a good user experience on any device.
• Interactive Elements: With styling for hover states and modal views, the gallery becomes more engaging.

With the CSS styling in place, your photo gallery not only looks more appealing but is also ready for the dynamic interactivity that JavaScript will provide in the next step.

Step 4: Adding Interactivity with JavaScript

With the HTML structure and CSS styling in place, it's time to breathe life into your photo gallery with JavaScript.
This step will involve writing scripts to handle image filtering, modal interactions, and other dynamic behaviors.
i. Implementing Image Filtering
Start by writing a JavaScript function to filter gallery items based on categories:

function filterGallery(category) { const photos = document.querySelectorAll('.photo'); photos.forEach(photo => { const isVisible = category === 'all' photo.classList.contains(category); photo.style.display = isVisible ? '' : 'none'; }); } 

This function takes a category and changes the display property of photos that do not belong to that category, effectively hiding them.
ii. Setting Up the Modal View
Write the JavaScript necessary to open a modal when an image is clicked, and populate it with the correct image and caption:

document.querySelectorAll('.photo img').forEach(img => { img.addEventListener('click', function() { const modal = document.getElementById('myModal'); const modalImg = document.getElementById('img01'); const captionText = document.getElementById('caption'); modal.style.display = 'block'; modalImg.src = this.src; captionText.innerHTML = this.nextElementSibling.innerHTML; }); }); // Get the element that closes the modal const closeButton = document.querySelector('.close'); closeButton.onclick = function() { const modal = document.getElementById('myModal'); modal.style.display = 'none'; } 

This script sets up event listeners for all images in your gallery.
When an image is clicked, it displays the modal and updates the modal's content with the image and caption of the clicked item.
iii. Enhancing Usability with Keyboard Navigation
Add keyboard functionality to improve accessibility and user experience, allowing users to close the modal with the 'Escape' key:

document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) { if (event.key === 'Escape') { const modal = document.getElementById('myModal'); if (modal.style.display === 'block') { modal.style.display = 'none'; } } }); 

This listener checks for the 'Escape' key and closes the modal if it is open.
Here’s a summary of what we've accomplished in this step:

• Dynamic Filtering: We implemented functions to filter images based on categories, enhancing user interaction.
• Modal Functionality: Set up scripts to handle opening and closing of a modal for viewing images, along with displaying the correct image and caption.
• Keyboard Accessibility: Added keyboard navigation for closing the modal, improving accessibility.

With JavaScript added, your photo gallery is now fully interactive, allowing users to filter images, click to view images in detail, and interact smoothly with the gallery interface.

Step 5: Review and Debug

With the HTML structure, CSS styling, and JavaScript interactivity in place, it's time to thoroughly review your interactive photo gallery and prepare it for public viewing.
i. Testing Across Different Browsers and Devices
Start by testing your photo gallery across various browsers (like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge) and devices (desktops, tablets, and smartphones):

• Cross-browser Testing: Check for layout discrepancies, font rendering, and interactive features like modal pop-ups and image filtering.
• Responsive Testing: Ensure that the gallery displays correctly in different screen sizes and orientations. Pay attention to touch interactions on mobile devices.

ii. Debugging Common Issues
Address common issues that might arise during testing:

• Layout Breaks: Use developer tools in your browser to inspect and modify CSS in real-time to fix any unexpected layout issues.
• JavaScript Errors: Check the console for any JavaScript errors, and debug them by reviewing your `script.js` file. Make sure events are correctly attached and that elements are properly targeted.
• Performance Optimization: Optimize load times by compressing images and minifying CSS and JavaScript files. Consider using tools like TinyPNG for image compression and online minifiers for your CSS and JavaScript.

iii. Code Validation
Use HTML and CSS validators to ensure your code meets web standards and is free from syntax errors. The W3C Validator is a reliable tool for this purpose.
iv. Test Responsiveness
Adjust your browser window size to simulate different screen sizes or use your browser’s developer tools to test various device resolutions.
Make sure your layout adjusts and looks good on mobile, tablet, and desktop views. Adjust your CSS using media queries if necessary to improve responsiveness.
v. Improve Accessibility
Ensure your page is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities:

• Check color contrast ratios.
• Ensure that all interactive elements are keyboard accessible.
• Use semantic HTML to aid screen readers.
• Include alt text for images.

vi. Optimize Loading Times
Optimize your page for faster loading times:

• Compress any images used without losing quality.
• Minify your CSS file to reduce its size.
• Check that your hosting solution loads your page quickly enough.

vii. Gather Feedback
Sometimes, it helps to get a fresh set of eyes on your project:

• Ask friends or colleagues to review your page.
• Gather feedback on the design, content, and functionality.
• Make adjustments based on the feedback to enhance user experience.

With your page polished and debugged, it's ready for the world to see.
The next step would be to consider how and where to publish it, so let’s take a look at that!

Step 6: Publishing Your Page

Now that your interactive photo gallery is fully developed, tested, and ready, it's time to publish it and look into ways you can continue to expand your skills.
This final step will guide you through the process of publishing your page online.
i. Choose a Hosting Service
To make your photo gallery page accessible on the internet, you need to host it on a web server.
Here are a few popular, user-friendly options that offer free plans:

• GitHub Pages: Ideal for hosting simple, static websites. Plus, it integrates directly with your GitHub repository, making updates easy.
• Netlify: Offers a straightforward drag-and-drop interface for deploying your site and automatic HTTPS.
• Vercel: Similar to Netlify, it provides easy deployment options and is great for static sites.

ii. Prepare Your Files for Deployment
Before uploading your files, ensure everything is named correctly and organized:

• Your main HTML file should be named index.html.
• Ensure all links to JavaScript, CSS, and images are relative and correctly referenced so they work on the web server.

iii. Upload Your Files
Depending on your chosen hosting service, the process will vary:

Two days ago I found a tiny spider walking across my monitor. I moved it outside... Only to find 20 more at the back of the monitor with tiny web all over. Sinve then me and my partner have cleaned entire room, killed as many as possible, washed and desinfected anything around my desk. We removed fake plants as they seemed to like those. The problem is they keep coming back. As we never found eggs I am starting to suspect they are coming from INSIDE my monitor. I have never opened a monitor before, what can I use to get rid of them without opening it or damaging it? Is it possible to open the case (I cannot find a guide online but I'm very anxious now so who knows)?. Will it be bad to tape the openings shut so the spiders suffocate? I'm loosing my mind and rapidly developing arachnofobia so please, anything helps
If a picture of a spider is needed let me know but for now I just keep killing them as fast as possible.

4 years ago one of my seniors cleared jee and graduates from IIT KGP this year, he was not a school topper, he did regular schooling and got to know about jee in the mid of 12th prepared all by his own using online resources, no coaching (maybe PW wasn't there at that time) and cleared jee with a decent rank in 1st attempt.
But this year I rarely could see anyone in the top 5k who hasn't been associated with any coaching institute, either online or offline, so is the competition is just too much that it has become almost impossible to crack IIT without coaching???
Feel free to proof me wrong🙏
(Sadly Mera online coaching leke bhi nhi hua IIT😔)
