    I'm working on a couple of projects that are along these lines: - Domain Verification Protocol [1][2] – proving authority over a domain. This is an application of our broader techn…

    Admittedly I didn’t get that [1] far, thanks for pointing it out. I read the first half but he lost me at conversational dynamics (I mainly come here for the comments). The battery…

    It was recently explained to me: Introverts charge their battery in solitude and discharge it socialising. Extroverts the opposite.

    Thanks for the heads up and I'm sorry about that, I can't seem to recreate it in Firefox at the moment but I'll get to the bottom of it. Are you in automatic/dark/light mode? Your …

    Thanks for the heads up, home page or any page in particular? It’s ok for me but I’ll check the logs. It’s just a basic fly.io setup at the moment but it should be more than capabl…

    Oh and to prevent what happened last time (the post getting flagged as an overheated discussion), I'm going to close the laptop and come back to this in a few hours! So if you ask …

    Show HN: Automatic Domain Verification

    This is a project I've been working on for a little while and I'm interested in your feedback and point of view. The Domain Verification protocol stores a DNS TXT record at a DNS n…

    Thanks for this really interesting feedback – especially that the subdomain method could create more opportunities for cache poisoning. Interested to explore how a cache poisoning …

    Interesting idea. If I understand correctly, let’s say a popular CDN was no longer maintained and the domain expired, eg popularcdn.com - you’re looking for a way to use a dns reco…

    If you’re doing more than domain verification, there are a couple of other options you might want to consider [1][2]. Both are run by really good guys that’ll answer any questions …

    That’s correct, we have a couple of projects that use DNS TXT for storing data and JSON and TXT records are not a good fit. My description above references compactdata, which as yo…

    I think the point is that by using HTMX your site can degrade gracefully for non-JS users. A site for a project of mine [1] is built with HTMX and operates more or less the same fo…

    True, but well designed houses that have natural places for the things a well functioning home needs, are far easier to keep clean and tidy.

    WHOIS is largely useless now because of Privacy Protection Services, Proxy Registrants and GDPR. The WHOIS protocol itself is more or less entirely shut down in favour of RDAP [1].…

    Expiry dates are optional at the moment but perhaps the requirement for an expiry could be set at the domain level. For example a query to: _dv.example.com Reveals domain-wide sett…
