JP Hastings-Spital b8cc9ee66d Remove leading newlines
This standardises all my markdown files to have no leading newline after the `---` that ends the frontmatter.

This makes display on Gemini (in which newlines matter) much more consistent!

I can't spot any errors with the regex I used here, but there may be one or two articles that change shape — hopefully I can spot them and fix them!

I had some time to kill today, so I rewrote the [DLC api](https://www.jdownloader.org/news/blog/x20090501-002-dlcapi-oop) in Ruby.
If you use [JDownloader](https://jdownloader.org) youll know how useful the DLCs are, essentially they allow you to contain all the links from a variety of online hosting sources in one place with any passwords that might be needed. All this data is also kept encrypted to prevent people from poking around inside and stealing the links!
Now, should you wish to create one of these DLCs theres a [handy ruby API](https://github.com/jphastings/ruby-DLC) Ive built thats so simple you can even use it from `irb`! Enjoy.
