byyll··on Ask HN: What sites are similar to Hacker News?
You needed an invite last I checked which explains the quietness part.
byyll··on Cloudflare took down our website
Yes but then people argued it's about these websites being bad. Turns out it's just about money, considering Cloudflare has no problem with CP or other website calling for violence and celebrating it.

After they deplatformed KiwiFarms, I thought that's an isolated case but turns out they are just unprofessional. I can't have pity for a casino service anyways.

No need to be this much disingenuous, you can express support in other ways.

> What would stop a bad actor from putting in someone else's email on a whole bunch of sites with this kind of form to spam them?

What would stop a bad actor from doing the same on the register, forgot password or newsletter forms?

> That may simply indicate that I’m not popular enough to encounter the problem, of course.

I get no spam and no non-spam email so that probably indicates I am even less popular.

byyll··on I don't want to fill out your contact form
I wouldn't rely on a third party for the majority of my customer communication and data.
byyll··on Ask HN: How to handle user file uploads?
As someone outside of the AWS trap, I am amazed at how many services people are saying you must use to have file uploads. 2 storage buckets that are charged in 10 different ways, a CDN, a processing server, a "lambda", "media convert", virus scanning and a third party service for resizing.. Extremely unnecessarily over complicated and probably overly expensive.
byyll··on Ask HN: How to handle user file uploads?
How are those better than ClamAV? I am not saying they aren't but you just said the detection rates of one is terrible compared to the rest.

A bit off-topic but is there some law in the US that mandates people to say things like "This article is written solely in my personal capacity, and does not represent the views of any organisations I am affiliated with."?
byyll··on Passkey Implementation: Misconceptions, pitfalls and unknown unknowns
Conflict of interest coming from a company selling passkey implementation.
byyll··on Ask HN: One-person companies—how do you manage it all and stay sane?
I figure it's somewhat easier since you don't have to manage employees, no?
byyll··on YouTube has a new design on desktop and everyone is mad about it
Same old cycle. They will get used to it and YouTube will change it again.

No legal issues?
byyll··on Redis' license change and forking are a mess that everybody can feel bad about
Probably, if you follow the money.

It's not a mess. Jeff Bezos can't make money on the back of other people's work, boo-hoo.
byyll··on Meta's Onavo VPN removed SSL encryption of competitor's analytics traffic
Mullvad is not Swiss, it's Swedish.
byyll··on Meta's Onavo VPN removed SSL encryption of competitor's analytics traffic
I am not here to advertise, the point is the same for most commercial VPNs.
byyll··on Meta's Onavo VPN removed SSL encryption of competitor's analytics traffic
Not a law.
byyll··on Meta's Onavo VPN removed SSL encryption of competitor's analytics traffic
> forced by law

Which law?

byyll··on Meta's Onavo VPN removed SSL encryption of competitor's analytics traffic
My €5 VPN allows me to use 500 IPs in 50 countries. Give me the VPS that allows me to do that.
byyll··on Redis adopts dual source-available licensing
Doors are not code but using the same analogy, yes, "open" door would mean the ability to see inside. Not to steal things from inside and resell them.
byyll··on Redis adopts dual source-available licensing
Great change. Should have been like that from the start but would have probably impacted their growth.

Any company can still use Redis for their needs, only leeches like AWS can't.

byyll··on Redis adopts dual source-available licensing
Yes, except some people are trying to redefine English. Open source means the source is open - you can see it.
byyll··on HP wants you to pay up to $36/month to rent a printer that it monitors
I was looking at the EliteBook 845 G10 which has 32GB of DDR5, Ryzen 7840U and a SIM slot(!) that I could get locally for €1200 and potentially get a discount if I return my old laptop. I think it's a good value for the price. What else do you suggest?
byyll··on HP wants you to pay up to $36/month to rent a printer that it monitors
I really want to get an HP laptop but every time I see anything about their printers, they convince me not to.
