Thanks for replying, I’ll be looking into this later!

If it’s better to DM please do, but what service do you use? At the moment I’ve been using arr with torrents for… ISO… And would like to take the step to usenet

Every day I regret my purchase more and more. I guess it is time to tape my cameras and debadge my car?

I don’t have any other option unless it’s downloading their shitty app for MFA.

No thanks! EU please invite us to your friend group. 🤣

Any other resources?

Here is Elena’s message on mastodon about it: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113899740641675793 I guess you can always provide some feedback!

Hitching on the wagon that Pixelfed is leading is good. There’s a lot of talk even from those who don’t care about FOSS, or Fediverse projects. Let’s give some credit and let things slide so the whole can succeed.

I get triggered when a for profit entity (like ESRI) uses open data and then sells it to governments…

As a Canadian I have seen our government crumble to for-profit entities. The issue is that a lot of governments do not want the liability of something if it fails.

Will EU countries that planned to use open source options and their own staff, already on the payroll, still likely create a procurement plan for maintenance and ongoing tech support?

Home Assistant is a great platform to build on and their assist feature is amazing. Definitely worth the effort.

Has anyone found a decent option to replace PayPal?

Before I clicked the link, which was a questionable life choice, I’m wondering what on earth you’d be doing. Was this person actually just chillin’ in the backyard and thinking “damn, this Miller Lite is going through me too quickly to bother getting up and going back inside.”

Let’s break it down. Just because a solution is European, it doesn’t automatically mean it’s better or more trustworthy when it comes to your data and privacy. While some European solutions might be great, it’s not a guarantee that they’re all created equal or that they’re more committed to protecting your information.

It’s not like all European companies are die-hard advocates for privacy, fairness, and openness. Each one has its own approach and priorities, just like their North American counterparts. So, it’s essential to do your research and evaluate each solution on its own merits, rather than making assumptions based on its geographical origin.

That being said, if you’re looking for a temporary solution while you search for something you can really trust, a European option might be a good stopgap. It’s not a permanent fix, but it can help you bridge the gap until you find a solution that truly aligns with your values and priorities. Just remember to keep looking and don’t get too comfortable – your data and privacy are worth the extra effort to find the right fit.

Thanks for the information. I just signed up using a public matrix but will look into bridge as well and possibly use Oracle free tier to set something up instead of on my homelab. Thanks again!!

Wow I had a whole message written to ask for information and here you lay it out so perfectly. Now I’m in paralysis mode though and can’t decide if I want to self host…

If you have any tips, resources, or a simple breakdown of what I should focus on, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks!

Oh man, those poor folks still on X, fighting and hoping that they still have the freedom of expression. Have they not seen any WWII movies? Just sitting around won’t do anything to stop the hate and what the President and his crew are up to.

Thanks for that. I have always been a lurker on reddit and Lemmy (and the other platforms). It’s really pushed me to join and have a voice here.
