  1. Wildcards based on multiple * (w.w.example.com) are now allowed by spec.
  2. I’m 27. Just to give it a reference frame.

    My company failed. Worked on it 6 years and ended in a burnout. Thing is I can say I tried. And now I have another few years (like atleast 40 I hope^^) to do something else. Failing early isn’t the Ende. You did atleast try if you fail.

  3. Out of interest: why did you implement SRP and did not wait till OPAQUE is finished? And do you plan to implement OPAQUE in the future (tm)?
  4. General implementation or a „from scratch“?

    For general here is a list: https://pq-crystals.org/kyber/software.shtml

  5. Ohhh and before I forget it -> one skill that helped me a lot -> Hosting my own stuff securely on bare servers without docker for example. It helped to understand security concepts, how much resources a website really needs and what I even need to host a website.

    It´s nothing against docker, but keeping a bare web server secure and then introducing databases etc. with self build images is nice.

  6. First of all: Awesome! Most people do not try to understand the basics and jump right in to specific frameworks. Understanding the basics will help you in the long run to adapt to different things.

    One thing Im personally missed out (now 27; started at 12 with web stuff) is writing. Not only writing blog articles or documentation, but writing for the sake of documenting small hacks or bigger concepts. So that would be one tip I personally would loved to get.

    About projects: - either do things like features for small projects (e.g. dark mode for something like altcha.org) - try to fix some bugs - or try to recreate small projects based on a framework or vanilla for the sake of learning stuff.

    As a tip for learning more things etc. in the web dev space -> Look into accessibility. Its a huge and interesting topic.

    Also "that is hard and might be too hard for my skill level." -> Do it. Get started with something "easy", read papers, do tutorials, write stuff about what you learned. You wont learn if you wont try :D

    In general -> Keep on learning. Don´t waste time on chasing the next framework and ask. Asking questions can be interpreted as being annoying. But if you try to understand different view points, different tech etc. you will end up talking with people that will bring you forward.

  7. Languagetools maybe?
  8. They do. You either pay Transit pricing or have settlement free peering (as in everyone pays his costs and the data exchange is free; as long as certain requirements are met).

    Thing is: charging the data center/content provider above global average pricing and also charging the end customer for the same service again.

  9. Transit yes; Deutsche Telekom AG is one of the worst in Europe. While telia charges something in the range of 10-20ct per Mbit; DTAG charges 80ct.
  10. Yes know problem. But also known that they work on it.
  11. For Hetzner as German Company: If it is legal interception no. You can’t demand an answer, without going to a lawyer first.

    On the other hand, if it is not lawful interception, I doubt Hetzner would allow it. Because that’s also against law.

  12. I have once started to add checks for that in my CI/CD.

    I used a self hosted instance of LanguageTool [1] (they also have a free API plan).

    For checking links I used something self build. It checked all links (including in already published articles), archived them via archive.org and if they changed (e.g. offline) link the archive.org link.

    After publishing, I also send the published article to archive.org and published links to social media platforms. Back then I also thought of publishing parts of the articles automatically to dev.to, medium etc. but never went through with it.

  13. In Germany we have to archive every email that leads to an offer, contract or other business document for 10 years. Starting on the 1. January of the following year.

    What is not allowed though, is saving everything that could be talk under colleagues or other people that is considered private…

    Ohhh and we have to archive them in a way, that we can’t change them, delete them and can proof 24/7 that that’s all the emails we have.

  14. Yes it’s legal. Just don’t check the price ever 2 seconds from 800 locations.

    A simple way would be a headless browser [1]

    But there are also hosted tools that work like a website builder.

    The best way is: keep it simple and keep back (check once an hour or day and not every minute).

    Many shops use Schema.org markup. So if they support it, you don’t have to write it for every site.

    You could also use a library that works with raw html and css. Then you could just use css selectors for extraction.

  15. Or any of the other like 500 Banking as a Service company’s :D
  16. Apparently only if you changed the config and also only snapshots that are older than 14 days.

    Still Bad but less impact than described in their first email. (Asked support)

  17. Maybe (atleast I ticks the box with good and cheap) a small Hetzner Cloud VM would to the trick?

    2 Shared vCPU (AMD Epyc) (usually enough for that scale), 2GB RAM, 40GB Nvme, 20TB Traffic for about 8$/month.

    Sadly they do not get offer their Arm servers at any other location then Germany.

  18. Please, don’t motivate people to create crimes against humanity.
  19. I personally don’t trust pay once anymore…

    For recurring / non-recurring depends on the product. But the model of pay non-recurring is something I prefer in a private setting and sometimes even in a business setting.

    If use you product every 3-4 Months, let me pay for the month I use it.

  20. It’s a) a mixed calculation. Not everyone is using the 1TB and the Transfer. b) Storage at scale is cheap. c) Transfer is even cheaper at scale. d) It’s “only” on one Server with a raid system e.g. no cloud with multiple copy’s.
  21. Awesome! Hope you did well and will do well on the future :-)

  22. I personally use posteo.net. It costs 1€/month. 2FA is optional.

    If you want to host your own domain, a similar offer can be found at mailbox.org (also costs 1€/m I think).

    Both are German privacy oriented providers and are in business for years now (the CEO of mailbox.org it THE person (in Germany) you call when something at your big corp mail setup breaks at 3am on Saturday…)

    As of my knowledge, as long as you pay, your account will not be closed at either of them.
