Does anyone know of a news aggregator that'll simply tell you if nothing noteworthy happened?
Opened the news for the first time in a while and it's all like "USA tourism decrease due to Trump", "Removing soldiers would undermine credibility", "Child got hurt after windmill hit", "Twins discover they have different fathers" (I kid you not, this is front page news in NL currently), etc etc.
It only makes one annoyed with the world, or it's clickbait. I'd like to spare myself useless visits
"Someone just used your password, you should check what happened."
Let's see...
- I filled my username and password in using a password manager
- I confirmed the recovery email address, unchanged since 2013
- Google "[does] not have enough information to confirm this account belongs to you"
I cannot access youtube (or any other google service) anymore.
1. Make sure you make regular backups of cloud data, people!

- desec.io I recently learned about and would try out if I'm looking for a new host today. German nonprofit, looks professional (supports automation), has anycast. Was recommended at a conference as part of an email self hosting talk iirc
Also have limited experience with Vimexx. No complaints but I can't say much about them besides the (then-)attractive pricing and fast dns response times
@IcyPalm idk what goats have to do with dns but I happened to have this conversation yesterday with someone else :D

Metaregistrar is a small one in NL, where they discussed an issue I was having (an individual with 2 domains there) with the team, so you needn't be big to get human expert support, also directly on the phone

OVH's services are good and also cheap, only the admin panel is buggy
