I got some domain names to register and every place Im looking at is asking me to upload a photo id because I live in a dystopian hellscape.... Anyway, I figured I'd ask around here and the selfhosted communities for some recommendations on privacy respecting registrars. I appreciate yall!

EDIT: Thanks friends, I ended up going with njalla. I really appreciate the suggestions. Stay safe out there.

Bonjourno! I got a couple of domain names to register and I wanted to switch providers from google. I checked out a couple of the bigger ones like Cloudflare and Infomaniak but they're all asking me to upload a government photo id for security or whatever... I figured I'd ask around here to see what yall are using. I dont need anything crazy, mostly just the registration part. Bonus points for hosting dns with an api to manage records & what not but that part isnt necessary.

EDIT: Thanks for the suggestions! I really appreciate yall; This is why I love Lemmy. I ended up going with njalla. They got me when I read tgis on their about page:

Other organisations will brag about which customers they have. We brag about not telling who our customers are.

I'm not a game dev so please forgive me if this is the wrong place for this type of question but I'm looking for some resources to try and understand why games take so long to compile.

For context, I've worked with former game devs who've mentioned that builds can take anywhere from 4 to 6 hours to complete - even with a distributed architecture - depending on the hardware. That shit blew my mind. They said it has something to do with compiling shader permutations but didn't go into anyore detail. That said, I have a very primitive understanding of what shaders are but I mostly work with infrastructure and optimizing build systems.

Like I said, I'm not a game dev, im just curious. I appreciate any insight or resources you throw my way. Thanks!

I hate how you need a phone number for everything these days... I'm looking for recommendations on an app or service for temporary phone numbers.

I know that "free" services exist for what I'm asking for but I don't like the idea of receiving potentially sensitive info in a place that anyone can access.

Ideally, something like "simple login" would be perfect. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Just getting started with self hosting. I was wondering if anyone had experience with Cloudflare Tunnels for exposing their services to the internet. I like the simplicity and security it offers but don't love the idea of using Cloudflare. Like, I'm self hosting for a reason lol. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

For context, I'm running all of my services in a very small k8s cluster and my priorities are mostly security then maintainability. Thanks yall!

EDIT: yall are great! Thank you so much for the replies. I'm going try my luck with pangolin but its good to know I have options.
