Nitpicking on style: hover animation on the books could not be capped by the container size and just overflow the content. Great case for page transition. Move the 3d book into the space where it will be located with single view.

Firefox user here too.

New comment by esher in "I Moved My Digital Stack to Europe"

A sympathize, but my EU biz bets on US tech. We are in a tricky position now. So every 'Look ma I moved away from US big tech' post triggers me. Details: https://blog.fortrabbit.com/us-against-them

I like the historical parts of it with defunct (like dotCloud became Docker). From my space (PHP cloud) a couple of historical ones are missing: Pagoda Box (now merged into DO), CloudControl, PHP Fog, AppFog … But those are gone for a while now.

US against them as a spectator from the sidelines

Much respect for the ambitous plan, I wish I could do such bold thinking. I am running a small PHP PaaS (fortrabbit) for more than 10 years. For me, it's not only "scratch your own itch", but also "know your audience". So, a limited feature set with a high level of abstraction can also be useful for some users > clear path.

As usual HN is my go to source for everything. Is there another thread, like "Tell HN: Bluesky is down"?

Status page says: "We are investigating an incident with service in one of our reginos" - regions maybe?

Got that too. My first reaction: Go to HN to understand what's going on. Where are the comments?

New comment by esher in "Migrating to the EU"

esher — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 08:34:15 +0000

Thanks. You don't need to convince me much. I was curious to post a more controversial comment. It's my specific perspective, we run a small hosting business: German company running on American infrastructure (AWS), serving a global customer base. This is much harder to defend these days. We really don't need 'US against them' or 'EU against them'. I am writing a blog post about it.

I don't like all the 'us against them' rhetoric going on. All that European alternatives talk is not much better than America first.

Nice. For the records, there are some PHP based systems doing static file (in general, some generated, some rendered): Kirby CMS, Statamic, Jigsaw, Grav …
