An API for reporting would be nice. Besides that: hope this page came to stay. It's nicely done. Couple of years ago there was a very similar project here on hn, which came to a halt after only a couple of days it got posted

I'm afraid not. My impression is, most are just prompting for the tool they need right now, accept bugs and maybe even security gaps, but save time and pain not searching for an established tool. Which is fine and understandable for private things. But I wonder, how often this happens in professional environments. But maybe I'm just wrong... I have not seen any resarch or evaluation for this claims. Would be interesting, though

New comment by lschueller in "Cloudflare Drop"

lschueller — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 13:26:49 +0000

Yes, but this is the perfect circle of slop: generate an ai landing page, throw it into cloudflare drop, ai adopts it, start all over again. For genuine, professional content, I would assume, almost no one uses cloudflare drop, as they already have something in place to test and quickly host some page. Moreover, I expect that scammers and phishing campaigns will have a use for it to quickly up some landing page without leaving a large footprint.

I agree. This is nothing new. And I would even state, that this applies to every sort of idea. Not only coding projects. AI makes an idea life cycle only a bit faster in some cases.

The idea is cool. But the mobile view is slightly off. Mapping of ttp would be nice though.

New comment by lschueller in "One million passports leaked online"

lschueller — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 22:46:56 +0000

There are established ways / protocols to hold and provide cryptographically valid proof of a verification process, without any need to keep the actual id images in any storage. And to my knowledge there is no requirement for compliant KYC (Know your customer) to provide their ID as a proof as long as the verification process itself is compliant and audited in accordance to certain criteria.

You can compare this in a certain way to file hashes. A successful verification with a predefined minimum level of credibility can be encrypted to a special string for later being used, if a service needs to verify the person again. It doesn't matter then, that the original passport images or video ident has been deleted the second after id verification has been completed.

New comment by lschueller in "Founding a company in Germany: €9600, 152 days and I still can't send an invoice"

lschueller — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 22:41:08 +0000

Oh, and what I think is missing, are the fees for the mandatory membership in the industry and trade chamber (IHK) and of course the Berufsgenossenschaft. Especially the IHK is one of a kind... They are absolutely useless and a big bloated mess of self-governance, chaotic and really badly organized internally, but great at billing. When I've dealt with an attempt of fraud couple of years ago, I called them and asked if they have some kind of blacklists, guidelines or someone there, who could help in the case you get an business inquiry you suspect of being fraudulent. Thought, when i pay a yearly fee to them, maybe they have some experience with similar cases from other companies, who might reported attempta of fraud or fraudulent billing. Basically, one perso told me, they don't have a legal department, then I called the legal department directly, they forwarded me to the particular office, who again told me, he never heard of fraud attempts and he doesn't know if there is someone.. And this was the IHK in Hamburg. One of the largest chambers. Absolute joke.

Luckily, it seems you do not plan to import physical goods... This would be a next round of applications, fees, registers and id numbers. There are several countries out there, offering to set up a company legally and in accordance to european legislation within a couple days.

The fees you paid, seem quite high tbh. In particular for notary and court reg. I have the impression that the rates in Berlin are quiet above average.

It's not too hard to find vulnerabilities like this out there, but it is a true pleasure to see how well described and at the same time well documented the vulnerabilities and disclosure process in this case are handled. This makes it particularly useful to learn from as a real-life example. Well written, thank you for this cool piece of security work.

In the big picture I am again and again fascinated by this. One of the oldest commercial services out there (post / shipping) proves repeatedly to be very innovative and strong in realization of new stuff like this. They were the first or one of the first, who deployed electrical cargo vans. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetscooter

To be accurate, they bought the startup. But still: they didn't wait for the automotive company to come up with a e cargo van.

And here we are again. A nice idea, ai generated, for grabbing email addresses... Not even trying to give it a human touch. Is this the new spam? Hundreds of sites and web apps forcing you to sign up with a temp email address for no good reason?

Thank you for sharing this statement. In other words, we now experience the secondary costs of the AI boom (and supply chain pressure). It won't get cheaper. I fully understand the decision of Hetzner. And even though I like low prices, the prices are still fair imo.
