It's definitely not all assigned to Singapore or to ap-southwest-1, the ip-ranges.json file reports assignments to other regions, i.e. 3.0.0.0/15 ap-southeast-1 EC2 (Singapore) 3.8.0.0/14 eu-west-2 EC2 3.16.0.0/14 us-eas

They continue doing the key wrapping with HMAC for U2F. Resident keys are for the "passwordless" authentication method under FIDO2. U2F requires that the server must know exactly which keyHandles to request, based on the username

That is really great if you don't have any outbound deliverability issues due to IP reputation on a VPS host! Under those circumstances, that sounds like a great arrangement. I think that is not quite the norm, lots of these hosts (and

I haven't had any issues with my personal domain in years, ever since I moved it from random web host to GApps, to deal with IP reputation issues, and have SPF+DKIM setup. (but my domain is a .net one)

WebAuthn is backward compatible with U2F tokens, but naturally only for use as second factor. They defined CTAP1 as the U2F protocol for existing tokens, then defined the new CTAP2 for communication with the new tokens, and made both part o

If you only have a 3G device, or a 4G device that doesn't support the available FDD-LTE bands, you might be better off getting a China Unicom HK card instead. They have HSPA+ on 2100 MHz. Google services work fine on them. The cards ar

I don't recommend Redbubble, I just ordered some and they're cheap but the printing quality is just not very good. I have a few from Unixstickers though, they're printed properly. (no affiliation, just a customer)

In Singapore, direct debit is known as GIRO[1], and practically any large organisation supports or prefers it as a payment option. Companies of all sizes take cheques, fewer take cash or NETS in person. Credit cards and one-off e-banking bi

You're correct. Sim Lim Tower is where the electronic/electrical stuff is, Sim Lim Square has the computer parts and electronics (cameras etc). But in Singapore, the mother lode is probably Koba Electronics[1] in Chinatown.. [1]

The difference is that in Singapore, you can get charged for incoming calls depending on your contract, but you _don't_ get charged for incoming SMS. From a Singaporean perspective, that's the most bizarre part of mobile service i
