MarkMonitor supports UF2, Cloudflare does not. U2F allows you to secure your account with hardware tokens, such as Yubikeys. Cloudflare does support "soft 2FA", which is two-factor authentication using apps, which is good, but cou

I presumed most existing co.uk owners simply moved to the far simpler, more memorable .uk TLD, ditching their old domains along the way. I know I did.

As a big company, they pay their processor(s) far less than you or I pay Stripe or Ayden. For the marketing dynamite of being the only $8.03 "at-cost" registrar, they are going to take a payment processing hit of around ten to fif

Zack, please DON'T waste time on email, focus on security. The category of customer who consider the flaky email solutions provided by registrars to be worth using, and who are unaware of how to hook their domains up to free forwarding

457 upvotes and 212 comments in less than 20 hours would suggest there is legitimate interest in this announcement. You are correct that their CTO has submitted 16 posts this week (not all of them from their own blog), but I don't see

I second the request for the .UK TLDs.

Yeah, very surprising. Perhaps companies lose the ability to get this stuff done as they grow larger. An even more shocking example is Transferwise, supposedly a cutting-edge star of the "fintech" scene. They use SMS-based codes,

I have used dozens of different registrars over the past two decades and found Fabulous.com to be by far the best on price and technology. Unfortunately, they now have no plans to support the new CDS and CDNSKEY protocols which would be han

They are insane. They should be finding a way to compete with RunCloud's far better product and pricing (unlimited servers), not committing business suicide by charging for every domain you use on your server. Under their new pricing,

It has been down for a couple of hours. I mentioned that in a comment here and, for reasons I don't understand, was immediately downvoted. I deleted the comment in case there is some sort of HN 404 taboo I'm not aware of.

I'm a big fan of N26 too but I longer go around evangelizing it to my friends and family. I got literally hundreds of people to sign up last year. I only discovered that support was no longer available in the app when I actually _neede

Technically, you _can_ have a savings account, but the paperwork burden for the foreign bank is so high that it breaks that product's financial model, so, they don't make it available to Americans. Living and working in Asia for m

Terrific, I am now using your Chrome extension. Please also add the "search by this image" link, which Google also removed.

It was not endorsed in the legal sense, the writer is using that word to justify his claim, in the title, that the plan has the "green light". Endorsed, in this context, means that it was mentioned in cabinet, and the soldiers pre

Chiang Mai is the nicest city but all of Northern Thailand is affected by terrible air pollution in March and April, you simply get out of town during those months. The confusion about whether or not it is "as big an issue as some peop

This article is a good example of the primary form of click-bait used by websites catering to the Thai expat / digital nomad market. No new visa has been introduced, and it is unlikely that anything along these lines ever will be, no m

The complexity of German taxes and all the other red tape seems to be the main reason why people change their mind about starting up in Berlin but, personally, it was the rudeness that wore me down. Berliners can be very nice in certain sit

These seem to be terrific new features, I am surprised that Cloudflare announcements get such a muted reaction on HN these days. To really hit it out of the park, and get people excited again, Cloudflare should introduce a $10 per month Ext

Info I would find useful in deciding to proceed with Atlas: 1. What are the ongoing costs for a company which, worse case scenario, makes little or no money? 2. What are the costs to close such a company, fulfilling the likely tax and regul

Anyone asking how a malicious submitter might have guessed that his patch would receive no oversight should take a look at the official directory for Joomla extensions, JED, where it has now become next to impossible to work out which exten

"... then it utilizes DnsMasq to proxy all requests to the .dev TLD to sites on your local machine" This seems a poor choice as local TLD given that .dev is now an actual, real world TLD. A far better choice, that would have serve

Yup, ignore anyone who understates the problem (some prominent voices in the nomad forums are either in denial or have a vested interest), it is absolutely lethal during March and April. I love Chiang Mai but will be leaving on Friday night

Kinematic for Mac has a sweet interface but, as far as my testing has been able to discern, it only works with the six recommended images. All of the WordPress images available via Kitematic's search failed to work, which is a pity bec
