If anyone is interested, registering a domain is $29.99/year and requires the submission of an identity document (passport, driver's license, etc).

Where did you find a price like that? I own one and I pay like 3$ a year. However ID indeed is required.

Curious to know, but where can I buy one, and what registrars offer .su? Seems entirely absent in my usual haunt where I go to get obscure TLDs:

https://www.ovh.co.uk/domains/prices/

There is however the following you can get on OVH which are similar:

    .sucks
    .supplies
    .supply
    .support
    .surgery

how does a link like this gets to the front page of hn?

You click the "submit" link at the top of the page. Then enter the URL you want to submit. It will then appear in the list you can see under the "new" link.

If people find it interesting, they can then upvote it by clicking the little up arrow beside the submitted link. If enough people do that, then it will end up on the front page. And that's all there is to it!

Requires the submission of an identity document number (which isn't verified), not a copy of an identity document. Big difference.

For me .su is a kind of historical curiousity. Not sure if I like it or not, or if it should be phased out, but there are a bunch of Soviet Union related sites in there too and sometimes these are pretty amusing (how about a site of the CPSU?)

Also there's sudo.su :)
