heythere22on Ask HN: Most Useful Cloud Certifications ( Azure, AWS, GCE, ... )

I did AZ-900 and AZ-204. Thought they might look good on a CV. Passed both on the first try.

The use is debatable. There is definitely a gap between the certificates and the real thing. Had some issues with the first components, I added to the cloud. OTOH you get to play with the Azure Cloud and get some practise and you can get around better than without the training.

In terms of preparations, the MS Learn platform is a really good start. You can complement it by browsing some dumps that are freely available on the Internet

A comparison to ZeroTier is also nice, they both seem to have the same use case (ZT can supply and route IPv4 and IPv6 addresses)

heythere22on VPNCloud: Open-source peer-to-peer VPN written in rust

I'm running 4 hosts behind 4 different NATs in the same zerotier-virtual-network and never had any issues. By far the easiest way to accomplish connecting different hosts behind different NATs. No config whatsoever required!

heythere22on Germans are turning down Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine

Its a shame, those people don't take their appointments. Vaccination in germany is really slow in general. Removing one vaccine is not goint to make it any faster. There are people below the age of 60 that would happily take the shot, but they can't. It's not their turn yet

heythere22on Google has been testing a replacement for third-party cookies

Most session providers use a session cookie and store all the required values on the server. Moving that to the client will require a lot of additional javascript. And will also make sure that browsing without javascript is definitely impossible. Not to think about the amount of additional security holes that would open.

> The CEO tweeted that the traffic doesn't matter, but the email clearly says they are limited to 100k views. What's going on?

There are two restrictions on the plan: traffic and users. So if you are over one of the limits, you have to upgrade. And OP has one user too much for the lower plan

heythere22on ScreensaverStopper: stop activating Windows screensaver by sending F24 often

Its already built into Windows. You can use Presentation Settings: Windows Mobility Center -> Presentation Settings -> turn on (or "presentationsettings /start") This works even if you cannot run custom applications

heythere22on DNS-on-Blockchain is the next step after DNS-over-HTTPS

As I read it, this proposal only stores the keys used for signing in the blockchain. You could use DNSSEC though to archive basically the same thing.
