CROSS-CATEGORY: EU-Sovereign Replacements for GitHub, Netlify and Public DNS All Hit HN's Front Page Inside 48 Hours
Four 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.
