I've also been trying Slovenia based Koofr, their servers are all located in Germany. Their UI is IMHO better than Filen, and is more configurable. And WebDAV just works. I've upgraded my account to 'Koofr 10GB' at EUR 4.92 per year. With the initial free 10GB I now have 20GB storage in total. I have no need for terrabytes of cloud storage, this is more than sufficient for my needs.

I've started to use Germany based FILEN for my cloud storage. Early days yet but looks promising.

If you sign up via my link for a 'Starter Free 10GB' account, not only do you get an extra 10GB storage, but so do I!

US-Techindustrie im Fokus: EU erwägt Strafzölle auf digitale US-Dienstleistungen - Golem.de

https://www.golem.de/news/us-techindustrie-im-fokus-eu-erwaegt-strafzoelle-auf-digitale-us-dienstleistungen-2504-195024.html

Das würde ich tatsächlich _sehr_ stark befürworten. Denn was können die USA, was wir hier in Europa im Digitalen nicht können?

Nichts.

Wir können das auch. Wir sind nur bequem. Und deshalb würden uns diese Strafzölle sogar helfen, den Arsch hochzukriegen.

Oder übersehe ich etwas?

Klar, Strafzölle sind insgesamt nie eine gute Sache. Allerdings braucht es eine Antwort. Und in dem Fall kann uns unsere Reaktion sogar zu mehr Souveränität helfen.

D'après la documentation de One Drive, c'est parfaitement OK de faire fuiter des miniatures d'images privées par des URL publiques sans contrôle d'accès :

J'y penserai s'il me vient à l'idée de stocker des dick pics sur One Drive

Silicon Valley likes to present itself as clean and sustainable, but cloud giants have a very dirty relationship with oil and gas.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with JS Tan to discuss how cloud and AI are used to fuel the climate crisis, based on his experiences at Microsoft.

Interesting in more than one way:

ITK (#Aarhus Municipality's department for Innovation, Technology and Creativity, together with Culture and Citizen Services in Aarhus Municipality, are moving their #cloud hosting from #Azure to Hetzner.
In addition to making the necessary move from the #US to #Europe, this will "reduce cloud costs by as much as 2/3."
