Ask HN: How to prevent a company from taking my domain name?
15 by lname_dot_com | 5 comments on Hacker News.
I have bought a 5 letter COM domain name that I'll call lname.com, which matches my last name. It has no meaning in English. I'm from a poor country and I spent like a year or so to save up for it, which cost roughly 6 months of average net salaries in my country about 7 years ago. I was in my early 20s and one could argue, that it was not the wisest decion of a young adult, but I don't regret it honestly. It always felt like I have a small piece of the web realestate which has my name labeled on it and I absolutely love my fname@lname.com email address. I created an address for my wife, father, mother, brother and his wife in the same way which they are using daily and are proud of. I was very stressed for any domain or registrar errors that might cause that I lose the domain name and I still am very afraid of it. I have however read quite a few "horror stories" in the past years, regarding bigger companies which were able to obtain people's personal or business domain names, just because they are huge companies with extensive finances and good lawyers. I already know of two companies in different countries which have the very same name as I occasionally receive emails written to them on my catch-all email address. For now the domain is used to host our personal sites, but I recently started working as a web developer and may do freelance work or even create a startup or company in the future. I don't know what this domain will be used for, but I can't say that it will always be for personal use. Maybe it will be the same industry as other companies with the same name. Maybe not. I know a domain name can't be patented. Trademarking is possible, but there are a lot of requirements. What do experts propose? TLDR: What can I do to secure my domain name, no matter what happens?

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Gargantuan Takeout Rocket – Google Takeout Transloader to Azure
Show HN: Gargantuan Takeout Rocket – Google Takeout Transloader to Azure
10 by crazysim | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Been broken for 4 months, just got back to fixing it and validating. Figured I'll repost this. Gargantuan Takeout Rocket (GTR) is a toolkit to make the pain of backing up a Google account to somewhere that's not Google a lot less. At the moment the only destination supported is Azure. It's a guide, a browser extension, a Cloudflare worker to deploy, and Azure storage to configure. This sounds like buzzword creep, but believe me, every piece is extremely important. It's very cheap to run/serverless. You can backup a Google account at about $1/TB. Compared to renting a VPS to do this, it's much more pleasant. You aren't juggling strange URLs, needing big beefy boxes to buffer large data, or trying to login to Google or pass URLs through a VPS. Unfortunately, not everything about the procedure can be automated. But whatever can be, is. It's very fast. 1GB/s is the stable default and recommended speed. However, you can have about 3 of these going at a time for about 3GB/s+ overall. This trick is accomplished by making Azure download from Google to a file block, a unique API not seen in S3 or S3-like object storage. Unfortunately, Azure has URL handling bugs and only supports HTTP 1.1, greatly limiting parallelism. We can use Cloudflare Workers to work around these issues. I use GTR myself with a scheduled Google Takeout every two months to backup 1.5TB of data from Google. This can be photos, YouTube videos, etc. I can finish my backups to safe non-Google storage in 15 minutes after I get an email from Google that my Takeout is ready to be downloaded. Unfortunately the only destination is currently Azure. There's also no encryption support. And also Cloudflare is involved. That said, if you're fine with this, this is a fine way to backup a Google and Youtube account as-is.

Ask HN: How do you save and browse external interesting URLs?
18 by bluewalt | 23 comments on Hacker News.
As a curious developer, my knowledge is scattered between many external resources I consumed and want to keep at my fingertips: blog posts I read, Youtube videos I watched, Stack Overflow answers I read, Github repos I follow, etc. My knowledge is NOT the notes I took, but these external resources I consumed and loved. But over time, I forget. I don't know what I know, and as soon as I need something like, I google it. For example, it could be the 10th time I google "efficient logging with Python". I may come across a link I already clicked, or not. To me, it would be much more efficient to be able to search among all my external resources I already read and decided to keep, because it is limited to quality contents that I have already filtered, and that I already read, so that memory will activate when I read it another time. At that point, you could tell me to use bookmarks. And it's what I do. Then 6 months later, I end up with 200 bookmarks I will not sort. And even if they were sorted, I will be too slow to find something in them with no tagging, I and I would use Google anyway. In a ideal world, It would be easy to save and tag external resources (one click from the browser), and then, browse and find them back easily. Do you have this feeling too, or it's just me? If so, what do you use for this?

Show HN: Kuboble.com – minimalistic sliding pieces puzzle game
16 by kuboble | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, I wanted to share a simple game I wrote. It's a sliding pieces puzzle like many others. I have focused a lot on making the experience smooth and minimalistic and the levels being challenging in a way a sudoku or chess puzzles could be. I had no prior knowledge of game development and while it feels like someone competent could build this game in a week I spent over two years and hundreds of hours to bring this game to life. My journey went through: - thinking it will be a PC game - being overwhelmed by the amount of different game frameworks - hiring an indie dev to bootstrap the game in Unity for me - realize the small levels are actually cool and it might fit on a phone - generating levels and playing through thousands of them myself to curate a smaller list - realizing the Unity wasn't a good choice - rewriting the game in html + js drawing on canvas + React - hiring a bunch of fiverr artists and testers to polish it up I think I am finally satisfied with the result enough to be willing to share it with the world. If you're a fan of minimalist sliding pieces puzzles I'd be happy if you give it a try! the game has: - no ads - no tracking of any kind - fully offline after first load
