Chronic enthusiast. Software should be about making people's life better.

I generally look at registrar who have well documented and open APIs, supported by projects like OpenTofu annd External DNS.

I’m using Cloudflare out of convenience, but the political climate in the US makes me consider out-of-US alternatives like Infomaniak.

I’ve been happy with Scaleway in Europe, and I’m hearing that Hetzner is even cheaper (though they seem to have provisioning issues these days)

Look how gorgeous it is 🤩
