Artemix··on How Google obliterated my 4 year old Chrome extension with 24k+ users (2016)
Almost did the same, except I went towards Syncthing for document sync, KeePassXC for passwords, and Sailfish / degoogled android for mobile phone (because the apple ecosystem is imho much worse, especially in terms of software durability. Got two perfectly working ipads just sitting around because apple said fuck the devs and users. At least, with SOS and android, I can still develop for them).
Artemix··on Ask HN: What is your favorite way to read online content?
I use a RSS feed aggregator, which I curate with blogs and websites I discover and want to follow.
Artemix··on Ask HN: Do I need to register a lot of redundant domains?
Another huge issue with the `.io` domain is about [ethics](http://www.thedarksideof.io/).
Artemix··on Ask HN: Curious to know if people still use IRC?
I use IRC for tech / general chat on a local server.

Much better and cleaner experience than Discord, Slack, or other fat alternatives.

Artemix··on Ask HN: What do you self-host?
I self-host the following services:

    syncthing
    nfs server
    UPnP server, connected to my media NAS
    gitea server, for my personal projects
    droneci, linked to my gitea server, for building websites and releases I publish
    A few locally hosted services, such as DevDocs, draw.io or Asciiflow, for convenience.
Artemix··on Ask HN: Secure Domain Consignment
Here's a list of proper services:

https://www.privacytools.io/providers/dns/

I'm using Gandi (a french company) right now without an issue, too.

Artemix··on Ask HN: What keyboard do you use?
I use the Corsair K70 Lux keyboard, with red mecanical switches.

When working on my work's mac, I use a dell KB216 (much more silent, while still comfortable)

Artemix··on Ask HN: What wiki/intranet do you use at your company?
Our wiki is a static site generated with the MkDocs tool (Material theme), auto-published on our internal web server through a dumb CI pipeline (a PHP webhook building the website).
Artemix··on Ask HN: Projects and applications for e-ink displays
- Ebook-like reading tools

- Watches, low-power embedded displays

- Low-cost screens

Artemix··on 0x00: What are you learning this week?
Haskell, mainly to work on GUIs.

Also, continuing to learn Ansible.

Artemix··on Ask HN: How to reliably register domains in Europe?
I second gandi.

A very good UI/UX on their web service, a clear API that's usually well supported for domain TLS auth (certbot), a very complete documentation, and a good support.

Artemix··on Family domain name extension choices
The latter may lead to some registrar problem, and the former would be fine, but I'd recommend the format following `fn@surname.countrycode` or `fn@surnamefamily.countrycode` (or even with a `-` in-between `surname` and `family`).
Artemix··on Ask HN: Need help finding some programmable AR glasses with low specs
I'll try that, thanks
Artemix··on Ask HN: Best Android phone under $400?
I like the Sony XPeria XA2 phone, which doesn't seem to be shipped with a weird android version, has a lot of custom ROMs and is well-supported.
Artemix··on Ask HN: How to make browsing the web more 2G friendly?
You can use pihole to block lots of websites on a DNS level, that's always a good first step.

Browser settings that should be done are: - disabling loading of external fonts - adding the ublock origin extension, priceless to "lighten" websites by removing as much crap as possible - aggressive resource caching, especially for CDN-based libraries

Artemix··on Ask HN: Why do you use Azure?
Clearer dashboard, much clearer and more complete docs (compared to AWS I've been working with).

Also, I'm really a fan of DevOps, the dashboard is really complete and versatile, and allows for more serious planning than just issues.

I don't have trouble working with Azure, including for user management and access rights, where it's always been a hell in AWS to learn.

About GCP, I can't compare, they never accepted my bank credentials.

Artemix··on Banned bread: why does the US allow additives that Europe says are unsafe?
Sugar is a drug, so I guess that addiction can play here.

There's not a lot of regulations for health and safety around most ingredients, so I'd say that also plays:

Fewer risks of decay and such

Artemix··on Ask HN: Alternative to Google Services?
GMail -> FastMail -> With the latest shitty AU laws, I'd advise against this provider (speaking as an old customer who really liked the service). https://privacytools.io/ provides a decent e-mail service list

Browser -> Firefox? So you completely drop the Chromium rendering engine (plus, firefox is awesome)

Photos -> what is your need, exactly?

Artemix··on Ask HN: How does your company handle document management?
We're a small company, and we have a company-wide NAS (which is backuped daily in a local backup server, and a S3 bucket).
Artemix··on Scaleway cloud provider object storage unsecure
Hasn't it been removed? The link seems dead.
Artemix··on Ask HK: How to legally protect your custom email domain?
You should definitely move your domain name to your own country's registrar, or at least to a registrar that's known to show resistance to such legal abuse (targeting legal firms and big corps playing the big guns through this sentence).

As always, Privacy Tools have some good resources: https://www.privacytools.io/#dns

Artemix··on Ask HN: Why do we have to comment each commit?
But what if you need to find a specific change that happened during an entire development day?
Artemix··on Ask HN: Is there a tech sector that has a lower barrier to entry than software?
What about Web?
Artemix··on Ask HN: Will We Start Using PC's Without HD/SSD Storage?
As a person living in a place with little to no internet, I can assess that I don't see any reason to depend on central societies and fast internet speed to use my computer as normal.

Here, we usually try to own as much as we can, and only rely on services when there's no other accessible alternative.

Artemix··on Ask HN: How Many Users Are Still Using “Shared Hosting”?
I use shared hosting for "client" websites, as I neither have to guarantee uptime nor I do have to guarantee "security" of the hosting system.
Artemix··on Ask HN: How to Migrate All the Data from Your Google Account?
For your GPlay purchases, how is it handled?
Artemix··on Ask HN: Are You Using Windows 10 with Ubuntu (Or Another Linux)?
I'm using Windows 10 Pro with Manjaro Linux 18 on a dual-boot AMD desktop computer, with 1 SSD for Linux and 1 SSD for Windows.

- I had to fix the time on windows to use UTC instead of localtime - I had a bit of trouble with ext2fs on windows, it tried a few times to format my disk.

Apart from that, I'm not noticing any serious problem

Artemix··on Ask HN: Do you use a GPG key with GitHub?
Yes, especially since my e-mails are also signed through GPG.
Artemix··on Gearing Up for 5G
And here, in most places in France, we still don't have decent stable 4G
Artemix··on Ask HN: What is your personal digital file storage setup/structure?
I personally have two setups working together:

- A nextcloud setup on a RAID10-backed VPS

- A local home NAS with RAID1 in place
