#102> This website has been temporarily rate limited Feels a bit ironic... though this website is hosted on Cloudflare Workers so using an American company anyway?
Cloudflare = NSA creation to get around HTTPS

#103Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is not a change. It has been asked since the advent of GDPR. So nearly 10 years.
It started 10 years ago, but have def escalated the last year IMHO. Im sorry to say it, but i feel a lot of Europeans have lost a good deal of trust in the US.
The USA is threatening war with the the EU and its allies. A loss of trust doesn't quite convey the seriousness of relationship destruction this causes and the monumental shift that is now happening.

#104If anyone else is wondering why no content is visible on the page, it's because it requires JavaScript and a WebGL context.
And also this: You cannot access this site because the owner has reached their plan limits. Check back later once traffic has gone down. Cloudflare is no fun. How much coal does the steam engine need to serve this site?
so the author didnt fully move to an EU stack. still dependent on Cloudflare, the monopoly.

#105Might want to move your site to a server you own.... site is down due to "rate limits"
Rate limit from Cloudflare, so much for moving to EU Stack :/
Re: I moved my digital stack to Europe
#106For the past days I've been participating(albeit over Teams) in a conference relevant to my industry (intel), basically startups and established companies showcasing their products to a closed audience of EU gov. officials. One thing I noticed right away, is that all companies were asked "Can we fully host this from within EU or our country" from the various people in audience. Every single one. Many of the startups…
Several organizations in my area of Canada (including ours) have this as a directive right now too, and are actively exploring options for ensuring data is hosted in Canada or Europe (or have already begun or completed their migrations).
Being hosted in Canada is no longer the safety many assumed before. In reality it should not be an American company beholden to the current administration.
Re: I moved my digital stack to Europe
#107Just a nitpick: 1Password is Canadian (still not European, but not us based, if that’s the issue). I do understand the choice to move all into proton though. Off topic: that’s a beautiful website
1Password also lets you pick where your data lives - US, Canada or EU. https://support.1password.com/regions/

Re: I moved my digital stack to Europe
#109While I agree with him that the US is becoming more unpredictable, I don't think the EU is much better, especially with regards to digital things where they can be worse in some ways. For example, they are discussing restricting VPN access for 'child protection'[1] [1] https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document/EPRS_AT...
Most digital things in Europe are in fact much better. Lots of laws allow people to protect themselves from digital exploitation. I agree that there is a ton of bullshit as well though. Gotta dox myself with imprints for example, so I cant share my work with people without also doxing myself. Also as a hobbyist you pretty much need all the business documents as well, like a privacy policy even if its just a small pub…
Imprint is not needed everywhere in Europe. You need it in Germany, but you don't in the UK.

#110Heh, ironic that the link is now "temporarily rate limited" my cloudflare. I can't read the article, but it looks like he did not move everything to europe ;-)
