What about DNS buying/hosting? Seems it's not mentioned (neither is emailing besides transactional/marketing). I'm currently on DNSimple but been trying to replace it with some closer to home (Europe) alternative that still offers the same level of possible automation as DNSimple does, anyone know of any that fits the bill?
OVH is one of the cheapest and works satisfactorily for me. I went back to OVH when Gandi stopped being a recommendable company. OVH's API allows full control of an account, but I don't know how that compares to DNSimple.
You are missing https://unikraft.com/pricing . Amazing compute, 2 instances free. A German company. Offers EU hosting too. Just a happy paying user myself
You can only sign-up via Google or GitHub, so American companies. Definitely doesn't belong on the list.
Apple is more a service provider than a hardware vendor these days. You can't realistically own Apple hardware without periodically connecting to Apple.
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…
The use of the word genuinely is always a dead giveaway
I recently came across https://tropes.fyi/directory which has a pretty solid set of common patterns, and I like it a lot. The pattern that always really bothers me is the one named "short punchy fragments", for example from the site “He published this. Openly. In a book. As a priest.”
It kills me every time. I automatically lose any interest in the substance and often just throw away the whole conversation!
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.

It doesn't seem very well known, but I've been a happy user. Most of the others have become over-bloated with a shitty UI.

I've just been moving some domains of cloudflare. I moved some to hetzner dns (works fine). Then i got recomended deSEC which is it's own open source project. But for one domain i needed CNAME for apex (or ANAME/ALIAS record) so that i moved to bunny.net. I think Bunny is pretty good replacement for many features of cloudflare.

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 l…
I sometimes wonder if much upcoming human creative work will be quite avant-garde, out there, ultra-stylised and/or difficult to comprehend (or even devoid of intent or message), as a reaction to AI's sort of 'common denominator' approach.
I read this, and the list is fine. But the title made me think VPS + self hosting of services like xmox for email/transactional email… you know since we’re bootstrapping and all.
