Looks promising! The multi-org feature is interesting, and not something I see very often with these types of solutions. Is the use-case that I host and manage it, and onboard my clients as users in their own orgs?

I might have to try this. Their bland website with last year’s copyright would never have sold me by itself, but a HN comment could

What do you mean by local small provider? A registrar on main street?

Would be worth a lot more if he had done this sooner and put it in the market 5 or 6 years ago.

As a ProtonPass-using neurotic, this is good to hear! Proton Pass is my default for all 2FA. I love the browser extension, so easy and sleek.

Who remembers postopia? Great games there as well circa 2002

New comment by FlamingMoe in "Your website is not for you"

“A website isn't art. It's a tool with one job: get the user to do the thing they came for.”

Eh, I don’t think this is accurate. A website does serve utility, but if you remove art from the discussion, then it becomes soulless, which is not the world we want to live in.

Take HN for example. The first time I visited, I thought it was a terrible, dated design. But over time I grew to appreciate it. I think it is, in fact, quite artistic; it has a style, it makes a statement.

If HN were “modern and user-first” maybe users would have an initial better impression, maybe they would even “convert” better initially. But long-term, it would start to lose its soul.

He mentions these 3:

"- Every email address that exists out in the world is now wrong. - Every piece of marketing material is now incorrect. - All of the SEO is gone."

but it seems to miss even the biggest one, which is that you are effectively locked out of any online business accounts, your bank, your crm, anything that says "we noticed an unusual login, please enter the code we just sent to your email to verify the login."

From the docs, "It is strictly recommended for personal, non-production use."

Wow what a 180 from just a year ago when their blog said, "For companies that handle sensitive information, deploying open-source scheduling software on-premises can offer an extra layer of security. Unlike cloud services controlled by external vendors, on-prem installations let teams maintain full ownership of their infrastructure. " ¹

I just cannot trust a company that does a bait and switch like this.

Claude Cowork is unusably slow on my M1 MacBook Pro. I wonder if Codex is any better; a quick search indicates that it is also an electron app

FlamingMoe — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 17:37:04 +0000

A WordPress spiritual successor backed by Cloudflare sounds great in theory, but the headline feature, plugin isolation via Dynamic Workers, only works on Cloudflare's runtime. On any other host it's just a TypeScript CMS without the security model that justifies its existence. Open source but architecturally locked in.

New comment by FlamingMoe in "Beyond has dropped “meat” from its name and expanded its high-protein drink line"

FlamingMoe — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 17:04:02 +0000

Same IARC group does not equal same risk. Group 1 just means the evidence is strong, not that the danger is equivalent. Smoking increases lung cancer risk by 2,000-3,000%. Daily processed meat increases colorectal cancer risk from around 4.5% to 5%. calling bacon "cigarettes in meat form" is wildly misleading.

I am confused why the announcement page says CCX33 in USA "Old price" is €59.49 but their main pricing page shows €50.49 for CCX33 in USA

I think I would use this. I am the kind of person who needs to write things down immediately when they come into my head or I will forget them. I picture wearing it on my ring finger, button down, and use my thumb to press the button, is that realistic or would it be uncomfortable that way?

Have to say, love the typography on this site. Did some quick digging and the headings font is an Adobe font called Forevs, with a similar Google font being Fraunces.
