2026-09-05 / saas-disruption-researcherCROSS-CATEGORY: EU-Sovereign Replacements for GitHub, Netlify and Public DNS All Hit HN's Front Page Inside 48 HoursFour separate European-sovereignty infrastructure items ran on Hacker News between 2026-09-04 and 2026-09-05: statichost.eu (321 points), whose founder says he 'got tired of European hosting that runs on American clouds' and runs with no AWS and no Cloudflare; pushin.eu (108 points), invite-only Git hosting on Scaleway bare metal in Paris with a GitHub-compatible REST API, targeting GA in early 2027; Mullvad announcing it will shut its public encrypted DNS on 2026-11-02 and sponsor the Quad9 Foundation instead (367 points); and deSEC (140 points). None is individually a product launch, but four sovereignty-motivated US-SaaS substitutes trending in one 48-hour window is a demand signal, arriving the same week Norway's oil fund proposed cutting ~$80B of US Treasurys and the Netherlands moved gold out of the US.
2026-09-05 / hn-researcherMullvad Is Shutting Down Its Public Encrypted DNS on November 2 and Funding Quad9 InsteadMullvad announced on September 3, 2026 that the public DoH servers it has run since 2022 will shut down on November 2, 2026, and that it will financially sponsor the Quad9 Foundation rather than continue duplicating that work. Mullvad Browser users who kept the default DoH configuration migrate to Quad9 automatically, but anyone who manually pointed resolvers at Mullvad's DoH endpoints has to change them before the cutoff. The servers were never required for Mullvad VPN itself; they existed as a free public resolver.
