How do you tell? I am genuinely curious. I myself find it incredibly rude that people will accuse you of "slop" the moment you basically write anything.

thank you for the kind words.

That's why I ended up writing the article. I had some comments under my last post in the "worlds collide" category that I personally could not fathom.

You hit the nail on the head.

Well.. it's the flip side of those social logins being known and proven conversion boosters. If you actively decide against them, you are losing a low effort tool to boost your CR.

Hetzner is juggling quite a bit of legacy systems (konesoleH, Robot) around at the same time.. bare metal (root) is still on Robot, a system from the early 2000s I believe.. konsoleH is for classic website hosting and console is what oyu need for cloud. They are progressively moving over stuff to console now, DNS and Storage Boxes have recently moved.

Interesting! I will think about the Spotify thing. I will pass on your bank account for now, thank you.

Google Ads does "kind of" work in the niche I am in, usually with low competition key words.... but I did stop throwing money at it. I am never going to return the investment per conversion... but if you want a search engine to throw your money at.. it is still pretty much without alternative to me.

I am simply not at that phase yet... I considered revolut pay (UK) or adyen (NL)?

are you aware of https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s ? I am using it and I can wholeheartedly recommend.

I do understand what you mean with bias.. some models where quite stubbornly ignoring things like "I want made in EU - not GDRP compliant - not one office or data center in the EU". I remember this being especially painful for TEM and market email providers. Usually they suck at finding the right pricing data at first try.. so I ended up throwing screenshots of pricing pages. Now that I am writing this up, in some instances manually comparing them would have been faster :D ... The bias might come from the huge amount of US dominance in training data and might not even be intentional. In some niches you don't have many options, that's what I tried leaning on in the article.

I am trying to be on top of the legal stuff. I did start EU first with GDPR compliance and expanding to the UK was kind of low effort. Comparatively little changes are required. I might expand on that in a future article.. all that legal stuff was quite a bit of effort but I got lucky with my lawyer choice and felt very supported from them at reasonable cost.

Hanko can be self hosted, if needed - it is one of the few products I chose actively to NOT self host. I am aware of Authentik and do like it.

I still have GLM/Qwen or Deepseek sometimes randomly adding Chinese characters to things... :)

People usually have either one or the other account already, because it came with their smartphone. It is friction less from their point of view.
