Loopia has served me well for years. But they raise their prices at a cadence that is obscenely high. Alternatives?
- https://www.gandi.net - even more expensive than Loopia for
.sedomains. - https://porkbun.com - doesn't sell
.sedomains apparently. - https://zone.ee - based in Estonia. Practically the same prices as Loopia.
- https://se.godaddy.com/domains - even more expensive than Loopia for
.sedomains. - https://www.one.com - the first registrar I used, maybe good for beginners but nothing else.
- https://hostup.se/doman - baserad i Sverige.
- https://www.simply.com - 199 SEK per year for
.sedomains. - https://www.strato.se - baserad i Tyskland. 90 SEK/år för
.sevid första åsyn låter ju lovande. What? Only 5 subdomains? They're trying to limit the number of subdomains I can create? What's this nonsense. Enshittification everywhere. - https://www.hostinger.com - another one full of dark patterns. Very unclear pricing info.
I recently reworked my LaTeX template underlying my CV to be compliant with PDF/A-3U, and now I keep noticing chatter about PDF/A compliance or PDF accessibility in my feeds.
Let's collect notes here.
Accessibility of STEM documents
- https://tex.social/accessibility-of-stem-documents-talk-at-pdf-days-2025-in-berlin - blog post
- https://pdfa.org/the-winning-technical-poster-at-pdf-days-europe-2025 - all posters from the PDF Days Europe 2025 conference (many of them are about accessibility), very interesting!
- https://pdfa.org/presentation/tagged-and-accessible-pdf-with-latex-revisited - session at the same conference on "tagged and accessible PDF with LaTeX" with references to several works by the core LaTeX developers.
