I'm also pretty much using 100% EU services except FastMail. Nothing against the Aussies, but I'd rather use something local, with servers within the EU.

But I don't think there's anything as good as Fastmail this side of the pond, and I'm not prepared to compromise on this just yet. I might self-host email despite all the dangers the day FM decides to enshittify itself.

ProtonMail? Not strictly speaking EU, but atleast EEA

It also comes with a whole suite of software that you don't have to find EU alternatives for like Calendar, Drive, Password manager, etc

I like privacy, but a service that's focused on maximum possible privacy for its users paints a target on its back for any three-letter agency, as it will attract a large contingent of unsavoury people.

Codeberg is only for FOSS projects. Is there some good European hosting provider for git? I really don't want to self host git.

Git is extremely easy to "self host". What makes things complicated are the web interfaces around code hosting, and all their supposedly important features. These days, Prs, issues, forums, wikis and all that seem to be synonymous with "git", which is pretty weird.

I love fastmail, but I really wish they had servers close to me.

The high ping kills the throughput on davfs and makes their website hosting a pain to update :(

I’m not with I could ever migrate away from Gmail, even if I wanted to. I have so many accounts and services linked to it.

Set up the redirect and change the emails of your services one by one whenever you have a minute of time. It took a year for me, and I am free now.
