I don't see a change in your profile. See here: https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/users/jstanley I can't see 'jstanley.at.hn' in there at all [..?]
That doesn't seem to be necessary, https://jstanley.at.hn/ works fine?

There seems to be some weird encoding issues and failure to convert URLs to links properly, for my profile - https://mike-cardwell.at.hn/ - Also, some of the indenting and white space is broken making the PGP signature invalid

Yeh I'm sanitizing already thankfully. I've fixed the decoding issue, but I'm expecting some % of users to be borked for a whole other variety of quirky reasons.
Nice :) Ah, I bet you discovered that subdomains aren't case-sensitive while HN usernames are case-sensitive, didn't you? :)

And are you prepared to respond to GDPR and other jurisdiction requirements of data collection and management?
Aren't you jumping the gun a little bit? While it's a valid question, it's very premature.
The GDPR does not apply "in the course of a purely personal or household activity and thus with no connection to a professional or commercial activity" [1].
However, that does not extend to generally sharing the information on the internet [2] as that's no longer purely personal.

They're case-sensitive for the purpose of scraping a profile page. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=Retr0id - 200 https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=retr0id - 404 (Edit: 200 now?)
- The first bullet point does not seem to be recognised (on your profile and mine). - webp images do not work?

That second one doesn't give me a 404 but correctly shows your profile.
The firebase API on the other hand remains case-sensitive:

It’s respectful of people’s wishes to not be added to any random site, and at the same time the way to give consent advertises the service. Ethical and effective business practice? Yes, please. If only all things posted to HN were like this. PS: It says something about my disillusionment with most software projects these days that I have nothing but prais…
My disillusionment is I don't trust any of you. My devices have so few apps, that it could almost be mistaken for a clean install. In coding, I use very few libraries because I don't trust anyone. I don't have time to read all of the code of the dependencies. Also, by using libraries, I don't learn how to do what is needed to be done. I hate black boxes. Between bad packages including malicious/bad dependencies in an otherwise acceptable package or flat out devs pushing something that looks useful for the sole purpose of pushing bad code, it's just not worth my time.
Not sure if disillusionment is the right word though. It's close, but the lack of trust doesn't come through.
