FBISurveillanceon Upcoming Cloudflare domain price changes

No story. Registries raise prices by like $0.50 (maybe some exceptions) and so does Cloudflare, they still sell them at registry price with no markup.

FBISurveillanceon Show HN: SaaS scan invoices and download the invoice information as a CSV file

Curious: what's your tech stack/model in use?

FBISurveillanceon [dead]

No links, no proof, too emotional, and somewhat childish — I'm too old for this stuff.

I'm way more happier reading stuff that has citations and references to supplement their research - try to publish a research paper without any of these and you get laughed out the door.

FBISurveillanceon The Long History of Nobody Wants to Work Anymore

Good for her! Taking care of personal well-being and spending time with loved ones while being productive enough - otherwise you'd have left her go, right?

Why the default assumption that everyone wants to participate in a rat race and play office politics to get a chance to be promoted?

FBISurveillanceon The Big Hack: How China Used a Tiny Chip to Infiltrate U.S. Companies (2018)

This should have been retracted long ago but Bloomberg is not doing that for some reason. Big hit to their reputation.

FBISurveillanceon Ory Kratos v1.0 with passkeys, MFA and multi-region

Probably via a Zanzibar-based system, excerpt from the Zanzibar paper [1]:

> [...] useful common infrastructure can be built on top of a unified access control system, in particular, a search index that respects access control and works across applications.

FBISurveillanceon Zoom: Charged 220 euros/month after being misled by their commercial practices

Not blaming you, just unsure how this could have been missed on the checkout page.

Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/zpfrp7u

First it says 10 licenses, then it highlights that the cost will be 200 per month. When you try to reduce number of licenses below 10 it will automatically switch you to Pro plan, voiding 10-license-minimum requirement.

Not sure what else they could have done?

FBISurveillanceon Delivery driver shows how customer's $92 order was sitting hours after no tip

I'm a frequent in a couple places, always leave a great tip. In return I get a little extra care back, like a table hold for me without prior reservation because the staff knows when I usually come in. So I'm not against tipping per se, even though I get how this should be baked into the price ideally. But all in all, I'm a happy customer who returns every single day, and they are happy to have me - great deal for everyone.

However, I would not tip on principle should I knew the staff would be bragging on TikTok on how they "punish" folks who don't tip in advance, before even getting serviced. This is stupid, lose-lose, and childish behavior; and I actually hope it's not something that happens en masse. I haven't been back to the US over the past ~5 years but it couldn't have changed that much. Or could it?

FBISurveillanceon Launch HN: Argonaut (YC S21) – Easily Deploy Apps and Infra to AWS and GCP

Congrats on the launch. There was another YC-backed company that provided a ArgoCD as a service - https://www.koncrete.dev/

It'd be interesting to know why they failed. I have to admit I got burnt a bit because we started to integrate with Koncrete and then they were out (and we've had to move away).

FBISurveillanceon Loneliness is stronger when not alone

I miss Robin Williams, it's terrifying that someone who looks like a happy and fulfilled person may end up... not being one day, out of the blue.

FBISurveillanceon Alphabet selling Google Domains assets to Squarespace

Thanks! It would be great to get support of .vc, .ky, and .to.

FBISurveillanceon Ask HN: Suggestions to host 10TB data with a monthly +100TB bandwidth

PSA: The informal point at which they'll reach out used to be about 300TB/month about 2 years ago.

FBISurveillanceon Ask HN: Suggestions to host 10TB data with a monthly +100TB bandwidth

Hetzner would work too.

FBISurveillanceon Show HN: Accelerated Docker builds on your local machine with Depot (YC W23)

A happy paying customer. Depot is great and their docker drop-in replacement GitHub Actions are working perfectly, highly recommended. Thanks folks!

FBISurveillanceon Building ClickHouse Cloud from scratch in a year

Space launch 'commoditization', JWST, AI/NLP advancements (regardless the current hype), mRNA vaccines are real examples of "truly a tremendous feat of engineering".

Running a database on Kubernetes backed by an object based storage? Not even close.

Don't get me wrong, Clickhouse folks are great and their DB is fantastic, but your scale may need some adjustments.

FBISurveillanceon How we deploy faster with warm Docker containers

There's been a recent Launch HN of Depot.dev [1] - I've integrated it quickly into my GitHub Actions workflow and it's blazingly fast (13x speedups for me). It also was a drop-in replacement since I was using Docker Bake and Docker Action and Depot mimics that almost fully (except SBOM and provenance bits). It also works with Google Cloud Workload Identity Federation so image pushes to Artifact Registry didn't need any tweaking.

FBISurveillanceon OneUptime is an open-source Datadog alternative

That's quite a lot of required fields to sign up: why would they require my phone number, first name, last name, company name, and email? They require so much PII just so I could try things out on a project whose commit history looks like this [0].

Maybe I'm too paranoid but I'm somewhat annoyed I have to give up everything except my SSN to try some new SaaS and then risk getting harassed by email, by phone, and god knows how.

FBISurveillanceon CircleCI says hackers stole encryption keys and customers’ source code

We're on Google Cloud and pretty okay with Google Cloud Build - not as good and powerful as Buildkite but does not require us to run/maintain our own agents and one less vendor to manage.

FBISurveillanceon Elastic Cloud password complexity has an “OR” condition

I have a one-letter "a@domain.com" email address and I often have issues with services saying "your password contains your email address". Basically means that my passwords cannot contain letter "a". Find it amusing since I have to replace all "a"'s in my 1password-generated 30-char password with something else.

FBISurveillanceon Ask HN: What are the best open source TypeScript projects I can learn from?

Hey Peer, wanted to take a chance and say thanks (as a paying customer) for building cal.com, and doing it in public. It's been extremely helpful for me personally, I learned a lot by following your process, your handbook, and your codebase.

Would you mind sharing why? I'm curious because I'm building a Next.js-powered Slack app currently.

FBISurveillanceon Auth.js Authentication for the Web

You folks gave a great product. Do you have plans to support next-auth? If not, would you mind telling why?

I've been struggling to integrate Stytch SDK with next-auth even though there's a tutorial for magick.link [0] that I tried to replicate to no avail.

FBISurveillanceon Binance temporarily suspends USDC withdrawals

"legally guaranteed deposit insurance" up to insurance limit. You're not always guaranteed to get all your money back.

Disclaimer: not defending Binance, not into crypto, just a note.

FBISurveillanceon What I learned at Gitlab that I don't want to forget

Unlimited vacation policy is like unlimited hosting - everyone knows there're arbitrary applied rules. Take too much and "you're not performing well enough".

More to say, some studies [0] have shown that with Unlimited Paid Time Off "employees took less time off than previously, presumably leading to higher burnout rates".

[0] https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.8121...

Overall, I think Gitlab is building a culture that _to me personally_ looks weird, you know when you talk to someone and have a gut feeling that you can't trust them?

Did they fix location-based pay yet, many times discussed on HN in context of Gitlab? If not, any news on introducing Purchasing Power Parity?

FBISurveillanceon U.S. to announce fusion energy ‘breakthrough’

This is just popular scientific journalism/clickbaiting, they also claim it "provides unlimited, cheap, clean power" which is also not true precisely speaking.
