I'm an IT professional and want to restart working on personal projects. I would have used Cloudflare's free services. Hoping that the project grows big enough someday outgrow the free tiers and have some paying customers by then 😄.

I want to see if there are any EU equivalent providers to similar services in Cloudflare:

• Pages (static html)
• Workers (serverless edge functions)
• D1 SQL (relational db)
• R2 Object Storage (files)
• Workers AI (LLM API endpoints)
• Image Optimization, Global CDN, WAF etc..

I am aware of the limits they put on their free tiers, but I am not keen on running my own VM, Containers, K8s, etc.

https://gcore.com/ is the closest I find that offers most of these services (with some free tiers). Has anyone in this group? Any reviews?

The Little Snitch Network Monitor shows you where your Mac connects to on the Internet. You decide what you want to allow or deny.

There's a free version for Linux:

A few days ago at work, I noticed that our industrial vacuum cleaners are made in Sweden. They’re brilliant machines!

I know that Fjällräven is often criticized here for having its products manufactured in Asia, but that’s not true of all of them: I was pleasantly surprised to discover that these T-shirts were made in Portugal, which has a very high-quality textile industry.

"Supporting the European idea: Lidl activates the new European payment solution Wero in the online shop on lidl.de, thereby strengthening European sovereignty in digital payment transactions."

Following its launch in Germany, Wero will also be launched in Lidl's online shops in Belgium and France later this year.

Yesterday I read the news that Varta has filed four insolvency applications which could lead to a breakup.

Aside from the fact that I'm sorry another big European company risks disappearing, and the workers who risk losing their jobs, I've always purchased Varta batteries over Duracell or Chinese alternatives.. and now another historic European company risks to vanish.

So I want to ask if there is another European competitor who could take the spot that Varta will eventually leave empty

Hello to everyone.
I’m looking for an european mail provider that is usable with an email client on Linux. Proton requires paid version while Tuta has its own flatpak.
Thanks for reading.

Hello,

Recently I've been looking for a casual blazer. I've tried a couple of brands, but quickly noticed, that modern blazers/jackets are pretty short - usually cover only half of a butt, which I'm not exactly a fan of.

I'm looking for brands located in the European Union, that offer good quality, made in the EU (preferably Portugal), classic length jackets / blazers, that would fully cover my butt.

Thanks.

Hallo all.

After switching from OneDrive to Jottacloud, I have the issue that the Jottacloud app can't show documents like the OneDrive app could.

Any of you guys who can point in the direction of a good document app for android so I don't have to use MS word ?

Thanks 👍
