🤔 Preface
This is the 5th issue of Seeking Weekly.
Coming up with a title for this weekly is no easy task. The nature of a weekly means each issue rarely has a single “theme,” so I’m considering whether to drop the formal “theme” altogether. For this issue, I’ll go with “emoji” for now. Details below.
Feel free to subscribe to the weekly’s RSS feed.

✈️ Telegram Resource Channels: A Great Place to Find Resources
Since Telegram imposes no storage limits on uploads and has relatively lenient moderation, it hosts many resource channels. If you’re looking for certain resources, it’s worth checking out. Resources are stored as messages within channels and can be searched directly inside them. Here are a few examples:
- Cloud storage resources
- Cracked software
- Magazines & periodicals

Emoji Finder is a handy website where you can search by English keywords and click to copy the emoji to your clipboard.
