> passkeys, the modern way to handle login that gets rid of password resets entirely Doesn't that just trade password resets for passkey resets? Or do they permanently lock out users who lose their passkey?

Passkeys cannot be cryptographically reset, but plenty of providers have account recovery flows in case you lose your passkey. Without a recovery mechanism you’d be technically locked out, that’s true.

As someone who tries to "buy local", I have been a happy customer of the following recommended services for many months or years: - Hetzner (Cloud, Box, and Object Storage) - Brevo (for transactional emails) - Mollie For monitoring I use and recommend UpDown.io, which doesn’t seem to be listed there.

I think you mean Brevo instead of Brave? Previously known by the (much better) name SendInBlue.

On Herzner add Dokploy (Honduras, I prefer this even if it's not European) or Coolify (Hungary) to get a Vercel-like PaaS experience for free. Any others that are good?

We've been building canine.sh free and open source for an enterprise ready deployment platform. Think about it like coolify is to a VPS as Canine is to Kubernetes.

> Why you should NOT use Canine

I found the section sorta funny, but I was actually trying to find reasons not to use it. Might want to add some real reasons in there :)

I know it's boring to comment and say that something sounds like it was written by an AI, but this sounds like it was written by an AI. I am often especially suspicious of these listicle recommendation sites because it's pretty cheap and easy to have dozens of sites doing some list which just so happens to mention a specific service that 'quietly' does a 'surprisingly good job' of some doodad. This kind of submarine…

When will AI generated content have been prevalent enough for it to be consumed more than traditional content - and can we at that point consider humans the ones being trained, especially new humans, such that next gen human generated content clearly is heavily influenced by slop?

I myself already feel like my style is being influenced by all conversations I've had with LLM, if not influenced by their responses, at last influenced by how I talk to it.

After Sendgrid got acquired by Twilio and retired their free plan, i also went with Brevo and am quite happy with it. No deliverability issues on the major email operators (Google, MS365) at all, decent delivery speed.

I don't think that's an alternative to US hyperscalers. Scaleway is the closest thing there is. Replacing a single service with 10 others is not really an alternative in my opinion.

Not putting all your eggs in one basket is a good choice. I think the AWS service catalog makes you adopt more than you need or want anyway, it is a great way of locking people into one vendor.

Putting your single egg into multiple baskets isn't all that much better. Now you have many points of failure rather than a single point of failure.

Yes, thank you! It’s so annoying how frequently that typo gets me, and my brain just skips over it. I’ve updated it above. And I also preferred SendInBlue!
