• Cloudflare flags archive.today as "C&C/Botnet"; no longer resolves via 1.1.1.2

  I'll throw https://nextdns.io into the mix. Been very happy with it. Supports DOH, block lists, among a plethora of other features. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Vienam Bans Unskippable Ads, Requires Skip Button to Appear After 5 Seconds

  While on the subject, does anybody know any good ad-blocking solutions for mobile phones? So far I have experimented with NetShield from ProtonVPN and https://nextdns.io/ with varying results. There are also features baked into certain browsers like the cookie blocker with DuckDuckGo which works extremely well, and UnTrap for Safari on iOS which allows for heavy Youtube web customisation. Also, shout out to... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Europe is scaling back its landmark privacy and AI laws

  I work right at the junction of marketing tech -- eCommerce, marketing sites, account management systems. Theoretically I should be living in compliance hell, but here's the dirty secret: To "follow" every rule, all you really need is another layer of UX friction. Another modal. Another "consent wizard." A few toggles buried under Manage Settings → Advanced → Optional → Something You'll Never Click → Opt Me Out.... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Show HN: NextDNS Adds "Bypass Age Verification"

  We just shipped a new feature in NextDNS: Bypass Age Verification. More and more sites (especially adult ones) are now forcing users to upload IDs or selfies to continue. We think that’s a terrible idea: handing over government documents to random sites is a huge privacy risk. This new setting workarounds those verification flows via DNS tricks. It’s available today to all users, including free accounts. We’re... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Tell HN: uBlock Origin on Chrome is finally gone

  NextDNS [0] has proven very useful for me on iOS. Firefox is 99% ad-free. Only for YouTube do I switch to Brave Browser. My home router (Draytek) is also configured to force any connected devices to use NextDNS too. Definitely worth the €20 annual subscription.

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (February 2026)

  Https://stacktape.com An alternative to tools lik sst.dev or serverless framework, or a PaaS services like Render.com or Flightcontrol. Deploys to user's own AWS. IaC-first. Has a PaaS-like console UI. The best features: auto-generates IaC config by scanning your code. Has built-in EC2 runner which is 2-6x faster than AWS CodeBuild. We've now also implemented dev mode, which is similar to SST. It deploys parts of... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (June 2025)

  v3 of https://stacktape.com Stacktape is a PaaS that deploy to user's own AWS account. V3 adds many new features, but namely the ability to generate IaC config directly from code, by analyzing the user's repository (both deterministically and using multiple AI techniques). For example, if it assumes your application is a Web API that uses Postgres and Redis, it will create a Stacktape IaC config that deploys... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Show HN: Canine – A Heroku alternative built on Kubernetes thats 10x cheaper

  At https://stacktape.com, we're also in the same space. We're offering Heroku-like experience on top of your own AWS account. I like what you're doing. But, to behonst, it's a tough market. While the promise of $265 vs $4 might seem like a no-brainer, you're comparing apples to oranges. - Your DX is most likely be far from Heroku's. Their developer experience is refined by 100,000s developers. It's hard to think... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Heroku Is Down

  For those interested in a Heroku alternative, have a look at https://stacktape.com (full disclosure: I'm a founder). It's a Heroku-like PaaS platform that deploys directly to your own AWS account. It support both serverless (lambda functions), and serverful (AWS ECS Fargate or EC2) deployments. Besides that, it supports other AWS infrastructure resources, such as RDS, Aurora, Redis, ElasticSearch, etc.. You can... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative

  I'm sorry for being a bit off-topic, but I'm a founder of a PaaS company myself, and I think that what we offer is a great alternative to Coolify for companies that need a more "managed" and reliable infra. https://stacktape.com is a Heroku/Vercel-like PaaS platform that deploys directly to your own AWS account. It supports both serverless (lambda functions), and serverful (AWS ECS Fargate or EC2) deployments.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
