Historically, before I went to laptop, I always bought Cherry. I was looking for a portable external keeb recently, and I looked to Cherry and they simply had nothing which even approximately matched the form factor I needed. I wanted to b

If they're geo checking IP to passport, I also would fail.

I've heard good and bad. I've seen complaints about servers disappearing without warning. I've also seen people say they're completely happy. It seems to me Hetz have good pricing, and technically what seems to be a supe

> nothing bad happened. That you know of. One can also say the same about smoking cigarettes. "I smoked all day long for ten years and nothing bad happened!"

There are two options; 1. Paypal 2. Passport I do not have Paypal, and would not do passport. That's fine - Hetzner's business belongs to them. I did not criticize that no options could be viable; only that passport was an option

So, two or three things. 1. You replied here, and stated and reasonably and rationally Hetzner's case. That's excellent. 2. I emailed Hetz two days ago, explained the situation (passport a no-no, friend has PP, but I'm signe

Give the vast tax they pay - highest in Europe, which is really saying something - cannot help but feel a certain sympathy.

It's an expensive document which is hard and slow to replace, and when Hetzner get hacked - and they like everyone will be, sooner or later - I would have to do that. No problem for Hetzner, and it solves their authentication problem.

Good. I've seen, or I think I've seen, AWS and Twitter giving completely fake "security" reasons for eliciting additional information. I made an account on Twitter, did nothing with it at all, next day was told I violat

Ask HN: Hetzner asking for passport for new account? just me, or everyone?

Thank you for this. I had no knowledge of pax, or that par was an open standard, and I care about what they help with. Going to switch over to using both in my backups.

USA is not like other countries. It is the most powerful country in the world, the strongest military power in the world by far, a global nuclear power, and the basis of European military security and peace - at a time of Russian military e

What if you're got the wrong man? What is the police force isn't completely honest and has a tendency to incriminate say black men? What if the police force isn't particularly competent? What if the man was framed? Cruel and

I think there comes a point where the situation is so serious normal guidelines, intended for normal times, no longer apply.

It seems to me exactly the same. An arbitrary group has been selected as being an enemy, they are used to present justifications for breaking law and due process, you then develop a large organization (Gestapo/ICE) accustomed to follow

I find it improper that we count from 2025 years ago. We should count from the beginning of time.

Yes. I would never work for AWS, given what I've heard, and consistently, of their internal culture. Also, everything I've seen while working with internal staff makes me feel there's a culture of obfuscating all weaknesses f

I may be wrong, but it seems to me pricing everything at its actual correct price is the best way; do not subsidize consumption or production, do not protect producers. All of these things are firstly political footballs and secondly only

This is the beginning of the end of Android. Google have over-reached. It is unacceptable to software developers to be unable to install software on their own phones, and this will lead to a successor to Android. It will take time, but it w

In "South", Shackleton writes in detail about how the sinking occurred. The ship up until that point had been firmly held in the ice and so was being compressed equally in all directions, and was built for this and was fine. The s

IIRC there recently was a white paper about the environmental affects of the metallization of the upper atmosphere by satellites - not just those burning up, but the general emission over time of tiny particles of metal from all satellites.
