The company I work for is on GCP and I live in fear of seeing the “Google to shut down GCP by $now + ~2 years” headline.
I'm living that now. I will no longer be able to push changes to my Python 2.7 apps as of January. Instead of porting to Python 3, I'm porting away from Google.
Any recommendations on registrars? I may have to move a couple of domains off Google Domains / Squarespace. Edit: I am located in the US.
Namecheap is great.

I was disturbed by learning squatters no longer just sell domains for big bucks, some of them started to offer them for rent.
That's awful. So someone pays them them, builds a website on their property and they still have you by the balls. I guess you'd only rent to add a redirect over to a new domain. I've just tried negotiating with a squatter. I'm trying to resurrect a web game with a few thousand players which the original dev neglected. I've rebuilt it on another domain but the community have game data stored in the browser localStorag…

What did you pick?
Different poster here, but I focus on a file based notes system (mine is on iCloud but any DropBox, Drive, etc would work fine), right no Obsidian and Ai Writer share a folder of my “notes” in an iCloud folder. Keep is good for grocery lists and ephemeral data, but too easy to delete a note and no way to backup — well maybe takeout works for backup.
Yet another business Google bails on. Add that to the pile. Gee wonder why Google Cloud is getting smashed by AWS and Azure—maybe because nobody trusts Google to not flake out on that business or key products within it. They need some management changes!
They've killed off almost 300. They have ~100 left. https://about.google/intl/ALL_us/products/ What do you think will go next? I'm sure some of these will bite the bullet this year. 1. Exposure Notifications (maybe in 2-3 years) 2. Google Arts and Culture <- this one has to be expensive to maintain 3. Keep 4. Scholar 5. Tilt Brush 6. Google Lens 7. Google Groups 8. Google Drawings
It works much faster than the Google Translate app for translating text and it also helps identify any plants or landmarks that catch the eye.
I hope that technology never gets killed.

Why dafuq would I care about a bug related to a streaming service I've never even heard of when all I do is play locally stored music files? Incidentally, I still have not come across a suitable replacement for Winamp all these years later. They all have crappy UIs or bring features that I do not want and get in my way.
The best replacement for Winamp is… also Winamp! https://getwacup.com/
Dynadot is a solid registrar for anyone looking for a replacement.
What are the top recommendations to migrate to these days?
I have heard great things about porkbun, but I personally use namecheap and am quite happy with that.
