I created a wiki for people seeking alternatives to US-based cloud providers—and I need your help.

Do you know of EU-based alternatives to AWS, Azure, GCP, Cloudflare, et al? Please tell me about them!

Geographic locks in the Apple App Store are a usability nightmare for the 10M Americans living abroad.

I have 2 Apple accounts I have to sign out of/in to in order to maintain my US app subscriptions and update apps only available in the Sverige Apple App Store.

“The top 1% of creators takes on the 1%” is a headline I hope to read one day.

“Aqua Explosions” is my favorite song on the album. https://songwhip.com/atomicunit/aqua-explosions

If you enjoy Tycho and other chillwave/ambient music, check out the first album by Atomic Unit.

Boomer politician resigns when the public learns his wife posed in Playboy.

Gen X politician resigns after consensual sexting.

Millennial politician is like, “Subscribe to my OnlyFans and vote for me if you want to see this body in Congress as it takes down the oligarchy!”

I splurged on a switch with power over ethernet to reduce the number of cables in my networking closet when I inevitably build a Raspberry Pi Kubernetes cluster.

Replaced the 18 year old “fast ethernet” switch in my condo with a new gigabit switch and now my Internet access is even faster.

I love how fast and cheap Internet access is in Stockholm.

I wish EU cloud providers would do something as new and useful as anything AWS announced this week at #Reinvent instead of solving imaginary cloud problems with #GaiaX.

The breath inhale of Amazon Polly (text-to-speech) is just a little too aggressive.

Submitted a session proposal to #MozFest. It would be the perfect venue to share a talk I have wanted to give for 2 years. I commit to sharing the ideas in March regardless if the session gets accepted. 😊

🌟 @plausible added custom event goals to its privacy-respecting Google Analytics alternative.

Here is how I now track 404 errors:

1. Set up a "404" goal per https://docs.plausible.io/custom-event-goals

2. Add this code to 404 page: `plausible("404",{ props: { path: document.location.pathname } });`

Saddened to hear about the death of Tony Hsieh. I never met him, but I loved his book “Delivering Happiness” and his utopian-esque work after Zappos. He was an outlier in compassion among rich tech guys.

Upgrading through breaking changes in Eleventy and Tailwind took more time than designing the new contents page for my blog.

“Hillbilly Elegy” felt like a time machine. I grew up in Appalachia and am same age JD Vance. Critics seem to lament other narratives not getting a movie too or that JD did not escape conservatism when he escaped poverty, but it was a fair depiction, not poverty porn or slumming.

I have been using Firefox 83’s HTTPS-only mode for a week. I love its “secure connection not available” interrupt because it raises immediate awareness of network insecurity and forces a decision. For example, I may want to decline on public Wi-Fi.

Working on my first real Ember.js app in 4 years and remembering how much I love making Web apps. A lot to catch up on, but also so many new superpowers.
