In the interests of transparent disclosure on such a positive blog post, It might be worth calling out that all the links on the page are all linked to the Bunny Affiliate Program. [1] [1] https://bunny.net/affiliate/

Sorry, I realize I overdid it on the affiliate links so I've called out the link and removed some others. Just thought it was nice that they had an affiliate program. Nothing shady intended!

> It’s a single point of failure for the internet. Every Cloudflare outage ends up in the news. I hear this argument all the time, but I think it's more complicated. Firstly, if people used more diverse / smaller services the distribution of outages would change. While there will likely to be more frequent "smaller" asynchronous outages, many platforms can still break even when only one of their dependencies break. S…

make Europe great again, and no, this is so different from any other nationalist moves :)

Surely by definition, being pro-EU is automatically anti-nationalism (at least for everyone inside the EU)?

The extremists want you to believe that, but the EU is an economic alliance, not a federal republic. Being pro-EU is usually anti-isolationist, but it isn't always anti-nationalist.

I am pro-EU and anti-nationalist. This works because the EU is a collection of states.

I'm pro-EU and my country is no longer in the EU (annoyingly).

It's not perfect but it's better than the alternatives and we really need a power bloc (even if currently only economic) that isn't the US and China.

Alternatives to US big tech are always welcome.

I’ve mainly been using cloudflare for the very excellent (and free) premium DNS offering. Easy upload of bind test files Flattened CNAME to support naked domains Robust free role based permissions to add other ppl Anyone have suggestions for moving a stack of domains, many being little community and hobby projects away from cloudflare for a small overall price. Agency pricing like migadu offers for email on custom do…

I should add a friend has recommended DNsimple.com and I’ve previously found their service to be excellent. https://dnsimple.com/ 50 cents per domain per month 10 cents per million queries That’s prob cheap enough to support lots of little hobby sites and bigger traffic sites likely have some budget.

Second DNSimple. Cheap to start and lots of nice features/support if you grow e.g. terraform provider, an acme.sh plugin, Okta support etc.

Yeah IANAL, but this sort of endorsement with undisclosed remuneration would probably run afoul of FTC guidelines, which is why you see disclaimers like "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases" everywhere. The author seems to live in the UK, but a cursory search suggests there's something similar there as well.

Maybe it technically under some regulation runs afoul. The FTC would never bother themselves with this and I don’t believe it’s in the spirit of the intent.

I use bunny.net for CDN and DNS.

I don't like free offerings, because what if they decide to charge someday? What if someone decides "free is not feasible, we start charging $20 per instance now".

I'd rather have a low fee now, a change from $2 to $3 is more likely and that's fine for me. But from free to not free is risky for me.

I also like smaller, independent-ish ompanies that actually care about developers. That's why I use bunny.net, transistor.fm, Plausible Analytics.

The line between those two things in the case of the EU is awful blurry.

The Espace Léopold issues laws that are binding on member nations, wields significant power over trade, fiscal policy, and mandates open borders between member nations. These are hardly the features of a purely economic treaty organisation.
