Please speak for yourself. Not everyone in Europe thinks US is bigger problem than China. For many China is far bigger geopolitical threat since they openly support Russia in its current war.
The US also openly supports Russia in its current war, what's the difference?

As a European that lives 200km from the Russian border it seems the USA has been supporting Russia in its current war a lot more than China. Consider these points: - US withdrawing it's "Intel support" just as Russia started a major offensive last year. - US starting the war on Iran clearly to help their pal Putin on oil prices, now they try to use Ukraine as a scapegoat for "attacking Russian oil export infrastructu…

I cannot visit most crimeflare sites because I just get endless captcha loops.
The trick is to use the most normal hardware, software and network connection you can think of. Which I assume you aren't doing for ideological reasons, which is fair.
How do I know this? I have received reports from various websites (and manually queried some public block lists/RBL/etc.) that my IP range was blocked due to all sorts of different things like open proxies, CSAM etc. even if I've never visited that site before, and I know just from being a neteng that that such traffic is not originating from my devices/router and I don't have any observably compromised devices or suspicious traffic when monitoring it.

> similar pressures in reality In the way slavery and employment are similar, sure. In practice they’re very different things, even if one—when taken to the extreme—can turn into the other.
See what happened to countries in the 18th and 19th centuries which didn't want to participate in the British economic system

Before I went European sovereign for my own personal stack I used Cloudflare for hosting static and somewhat dynamic websites and it has become really nice the later years. There is almost no mention of "regions" in Cloudflare. Your content and code runs globally by default. With traditional clouds you need to think about how you distribute your application. At least that is my experience. Maybe they provide global C…
What do you use as a European CDN atm?
It's seriously good value for small websites. Basically, there is no cost aside from the domain. And for registering and managing domains, they are pretty much the most affordable option as well. And they have a few other things that aren't half bad to use with pretty generous freemium layers. We used Google's CDN for the last six years or so but it's pretty annoying to deal with and you have to pay for a load balanc…
The hidden cost, of course, is that the NSA learns everything there is to know about you and your customers. Cloudflare is the LG TV of websites, but it's worse because we've known it has an always-on microphone and speech-to-text for over a decade and we still keep using it for some reason.
Bunny.net is a good alternative - they don’t have CF depth of offerings but are getting there
They're fine for a CDN but overall their offering surprisingly immature IME. The devx for their hosted scripts/database just isn't there, and e.g. they only allow one global API key with full permissions, etc.
