Nice to have another alternative, thank you! Can you disclose how your assemble your GeoIP information? It doesn’t seem to match Maxmind’s for the couple of IPs I’ve tested. One small piece of feedback: the CIDR pages don’t make much sense

In a similar tone, I made Caddy module that temporarily blocks an IP address once it tries to access specific URLs: https://github.com/kassner/caddy-trapdoor It’s great to catch those bursts of requests, nowadays I see

Their datacenter at Datavägen 15 is about 100 meters/yards away from residential buildings, not a great example.

It depends how much EU do you need. ZeroSSL is through HID Global, part of Assa Abloy, a Swedish public company. HID, however, is American according to Wikipedia. Caddy uses ZeroSSL by default. If you want only single host certificates, Act

It’s not like they’re going to put a debt collector after the $0.73 that you’d owe, so I’m not sure what was your point. If you want the services to continue you gotta have some balance. If they allow your account to run below balance I’d s

You wouldn’t be charged thousands because the service is pre-paid. Your websites will be suspended once the balance runs out, but you can re-establish them once you add more balance. AFAIK is the only provider in which you can have function

TBF you can keep the account dormant if you delete all the resources. I have like $3 in balance left for over a year now.

Ansible will be terrible slow to update things if you're geographically far from the servers. Updating around 100 servers from another continent already takes longer than a 5 minute TTL. Parallel connections only work up to a point bef

I wonder if at some point we’ll be start taking about non-smartphone sovereign payments. The main reason I still use card is to be able to use it without a phone, and the technology of debit cards (around Europe at least) is quite OK. Maybe

It is pretty much unacceptable to have a domain bouncing emails, so I’d be out of the provider before the MX TTL even expires. For outgoing emails, reputation is a huge issue, but at the same time it’s also fairly trivial to set up a (diff

There are some EU cloud providers that try (OVH, Scaleway, Hetzner, Upcloud, Evroc), but AWS is a product 20+ years in the making and only in the last 5 that people are really opening their eyes to the sovereignty problem. And even if those

I had troubles with Apple blocking a bunch of range IPs from OVH, because they don’t handle abuse claims. It didn’t show up in blocklists at the time, but was in practice unusable. IME anything that can be purchased by an average developer

> Thats just a matter of buying a decent IP Please expand on this. Public cloud IPs would be on spam lists, and providers like Hetzner and OVH aren’t any better. Where does one go to buy a decent IP?

Ditto. From all the places that I’ve quit, the only counter offer I’d accept would be “we’ll implement this structure/process change that is slowly killing your will to work here”.
