Typical of Google to shut down yet another service

    I've full on stopped accepting new Google products, only exception being the pixel phone, but I'll root that if they decide to drop support.

    I work in development and am proud to say I have convinced 3 companies now to steer clear of GCP because of their track record.

    Not to mention that the cpanels, documentation, and APIs for Google Cloud look like they were written by alien robots to be consumed by alien robots. I've never seen any other platform or docs as confusing and pointlessly convoluted as gcloud docs.

    They're the absolute worst. Doc links will go in circles, redirecting you back to where you just were, API documentation is out of date - or worse it's out of date and doesn't tell you until the end of reading if it even tells you at all.

    Not even mentioning how everything is in permanent "alpha" and "beta" state. Things are never finalized so they can get away with changing the definition on a whim and say "sorry it was in beta, now it's in beta5". I had to rewrite Pub/Sub code at least once a month because they changed their spec on that, and that was one of their "most finalized" products.

    Fuck GCP, I will actively avoid jobs that code on it now. If you want enterprise customers, provide an enterprise product. This isn't chat where you can rebuild it every year because your marketers are bored. These are enterprise products that companies depend on.

    Right? Who the fuck created this standard? You'll arrive at a doc trying to figure out how to get somewhere and it'll tell you everything except for how to actually get there. It'll finally have a link with the link text being the name of the section you're trying to find, but noooo... It doesn't actually link there, it links to a second document explaining the fucking history of that section, why they named it what they did, the engineer's dog's puppy's name, and anything else to fluff out the doc without actually being useful. Why in the hell would you write a doc about an interface and not link to the relevant interface? I guess it's probably because they completely rebuilt the way that website interfaces work and you can't actually bookmark or deep link to anything. You always end up at the same page regardless of what you bookmark and then you have to manually navigate there. They took all the wonderful working features of the internet and broke them, then made alternatives that are 1000x worse.

    I am really thinking of switching to Microsoft for all my cloud needs, including email, photos and cloud storage and online office webapps.

    I can't trust that company no more.

    My order of preference for domain registrars is:

    1. Cloudflare (doesn’t support all TLDs, unfortunately)
    2. Porkbun (does have wide TLD support, and has no-bullshit pricing, albeit higher than Cloudflare)
    3. Namecheap. They’re cheap and Canadian… no other reason than just a backup to have.

    Hopefully Google used promo code "Killedbygoogle" to get 15% more in this transaction

    Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

    Fewer Letters More Letters
    CF CloudFlare
    DNS Domain Name Service/System
    SSL Secure Sockets Layer, for transparent encryption
    k8s Kubernetes container management package

    4 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 6 acronyms.

    What's different about this announcement from the one they made 2 months ago?

    This one they emailed to people with slightly more detail. You could barely find any official information about this from Google after the last announcement, so it’s good they’re telling people now. Very annoying that I’m being forced into square space if I don’t transfer out before then though.

    Well crap

    I pretty much only have my domain for my email adress. It's also a back up plan should my career take another nose dive and I need a portfolio. Gsuite was good for all that.

    I'm not quite in the loop with best options for that kinda thing. And I been using the email for contract work for over a decade now. So I don't want to give that up. Would cloudflare be good for that as well?

    I cuurently use one of three registrars: Namecheap, Cloudflare, or Porkbun. Porkbun is my favorite and I will move my domains to them as they expire.

    For Europe and specifically if you need European ccTLD's, inwx.de and netim.com have the largest selection and good prices.

    You can see other European registrars on this page but check if they support all the TLDs you need and the pricing, sometimes they have an oddly expensive price for one of them.

    Oh and a note about Gandi because it's listed as "cheap" there, they're currently jacking up their domain prices across the board. Until now they used to be sort of expensive, after this they'll be the most expensive by 75-100% than the others.

    Good. The less Google does the better the internet will be.

    Happened a while back. I had my domain on it and as soon as I saw the email I got a refund on my domain.

    If I wanted to be on squarespace, I would've joined squarespace.

    Oh no.. I just bought a domain for my friend from there, only a few months ago.

    I should've used namesilo or porkbun instead.
