>People should generally just stop buying ccTLD domains for personal use.

People should buy ccTLDs more often. I try to stick to domains in my country TLD when possible, instead of getting a generic (.com) one.

There are obvious examples of tlds outside of ICANN control:

* OpenNIC domains * .onion, .i2p and other alternative networks * .bit, .eth and other cryptocurrency backed domains

Your registrar only verifies that you have an EU mailing address. You can absolutely lose your domains if they for some reason audit you and decide you are in breach if their terms

This is extremely unlikely - I wouldn't lose sleep over this. This will only happen when you're doing something controversial/illegal and your registrar is actively trying to legally get rid of you.

Same for me, but without Brave as a middle ground. I think Firefox even without extensions is less and less supported, sadly.

This sound eerie and exotic to me. In what world when server is down people wait for the next standup to announce it? Why not just create a shared channel (slack, teams, mattermost, irc, whatever the company standardized on) and use it to communicate asynchronously and resolve problems like that immediately?

Daily stand-ups are terrible and need to die.

And the usbguard must be installed in the initramfs, not the main system, right? Because the fde password is provided before most of the system loads.

You just wished prison and positively mentioned hanging people in response for relatively harmless activism (tyres can be inflated again, you know). So yes, I think you are violent, at least when cars are mentioned.

To be clear, deflating tyres is illegal, but most successful activism campaigns are. I support the cause they're fighting for, unnecessarily huge cars hurt our environment and neighborhoods.

It's not practical as a default, but yes.

See for example https://pypi.org/project/py-strict-typing/

To this day this story still blows my mind:

>Register a TLD which is informal standard for development websites and environments (.dev)

>Charge an excessive amount of money for it

>To make sure you ruin everyone's day, put it on a HSTS preload list

>Refuse to elaborate

I agree with your main point but

>why this is a polarizing issue as 99.5% of people are on the same side of the threshold

are we? I earn way less than mid-level programmer in SV and I'm pretty sure I'm on the "rich" side of threshold already. Granted I'm relatively frugal, live alone, and live in a (capital of a) low cost of living country but fact is a fact. I'm sure every single homeowner in California can achieve financial independency (if they sell their property and move somewhere cheap).

Of course this is extremely stupid (basically using the "username" as a secret, something everyone in IT and itsec knows not to do). If we started using SSN-equivalent identifiers as online ID problem would solve itself because by then they're not a secret anymore.

In my country my national ID numbers are nowhere near as problematic as SSN on the US (from what I understand).

Why would I want to log in to a dog sharing website using my real identity? Maybe I'm an outlier but I really value the pseudonymity possible thanks to the internet. I can share as much or as little about me as I want, and the dumb things I probably wrote when I was 14 are not immortalized with my name next to them.

Doesn't it kind of already exists for passports? I can travel with my passport to (basically) any country on earth, so there must be some international support for this.

Maybe there used to be one and was later removed? There's no doubt some kind of indexing, so the data may become stale.

I'm a security engineer and I'm not sure I'm capable of keeping a private key secure for the long term.

In python it's very hard to avoid cyclic dependencies. Something as simple as a parent-child link between two classes is a cyclic dependency, and if the classes are in different files you have a car like in the blog post. This comes up especially hard when typing your codebase, because you have to name every type, and in python implementation is the interface, i.e. you can't just include a type definition file.

Removing characters for obscenity is pointless (thousands way to evade this "filter"), english-centric and honestly a weird idea.

I've always heard that the reason in another ambiguity (u/v) which makes more sense to me.

Same experience with signal, but SMS phishing is a very large issue, at least in my country. Maybe your phone number was just never leaked and you're not present in the spammers databases?
