Migrating to the EU

Re: Migrating to the EU
#132One tip in the EU is to consider just renting a Hetzner Storage Share. This is a 1TB (or more) Nextcloud that Hetzner manages for you for 5.11 Euros per month. A Nextcloud can give you many things at once, file syncing, file shares, contact syncing, calendar syncing, etc. I have been using this for years now after having hosted my own Nextcloud instance. The space and performance they give you for that price is unbea…
Had a self hosted nextcloud instance runnning on my homeserver, but migrated away two years ago to a Hetzner Storage share. All in all I'm quite happy with that.
There are some downsides, though:
- No support for collabora online, so no way for collaborative editing of office files
- Data is not encrypted

...also migrating AWAY from Fastmail (Australian) and TO an European provider sounds like a very bad idea - I'd kind of want both the US and the EU legally away from my coms at all costs (!)
While I agree in principle, I have to remind you (and to myself) that Australia is part of the Five Eyes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes
The problem is that, even if Fastmail are Australian, they host exclusively in the US. They state that sure, there is the possibility of interference at the data center level, but they rely on their anti-hacking measures to prevent unlawful access

No system is perfect. It's more a theoretical risk for now, if you're not running a shady business.
The police will of course decide if you are running a shady business.
Nintendo may also decide this.

#135How comfortable are you guys with the fact that EU countries allow prosecutors and sometimes even police officers to issue their own search warrants without meaningful judicial review? Some EU courts will not exclude illegally obtained evidence either, so challenging the warrant later on will be pointless. Oh, and you might be in a reasonable EU country and still be hit with an EIO from one of the unreasonable countr…

This is a hilarious 'just asking questions' concern that doesn't address the complete 180 in direction the US is taking and descending in to authoritarianism while moving against the world order it primarily helped build post WWII while threatening other liberal democracies like Canada and Denmark with invasions.
It's a complete false equivalence. ICE agents have straight up murdered two US citizens in broad daylight without consequence and you're querying the nature of some search warrants in the EU.

#136For mail I've been using migadu. I self host most services: contacts, calendar, git, .. Agree on mullvad, buy giftcard on amazon. Tried hetzner, but it wouldn't allow me to create an account. Ovh it is. I haven't thought about registrars, I don't think it matters for most tld. (Moniker, porkbun)
> Agree on mullvad, buy giftcard on amazon. I've heard this before. Is this just to add another hop in the chain to make it harder for someone to track the user down? Apart from someone needing to order Amazon to pony up the details ("Which credit card was this Amazon item bought with?") Is there another layer of privacy I'm missing?
Or send cash in an envelope.

If you buy directly from Mullvad, they delete the transaction details after two weeks. Sure, your payment procesor knows you’ve bought from Mullvad, but in this case so does Amazon, no?
Regarding Migadu, after extensive research it seemed to be the best option, but man that 20 outgoing emails limit is just so off-putting and the next tier is so far apart. I would be comfortable paying 50-60 euros per year for 50 outgoing emails, but no, it’s either 20 for 20 euros or 100 for 90 euros

Doesn't cost extra
No need to share my cc with yet another company.

#139You can take fastmail from my cold, dead hands :D About the only thing I can rely on to actually work.
Yes, same here. I tried some EU providers like Mailbox, Tuta and Uberspace. In the end, even though Fastmail is not EU-based, at least it's based in Australia (and not US) and they have a solid track record as a company to make the right decisions and not chase every hype. So, this is good enough for me. For now.
Australia is a member of five eyes and the US basically treats them like the 51st state.

I'm not advertising the US here or trying to troll. I'm an European pointing out things about the European system that many here will not have thought about.

Maybe keep your US nonsense to yourself?
