On: Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native

> I like it how everyone says that, but there is no european cloud operator able to offer what AWS/GCP/Azure offer.

You don't need all of that. You can go a long way with the basics, and those are well covered.

Things are really getting ugly there. So sad to witness it happening in “real time.”

On: I migrated to an almost all-EU stack and saved 500€ per year

[dethos]

I started the same process some time ago. I've made different choices but with the same goal.

I'm moving slowly because this kind of migration is never easy, but I fully intend to move >90% of my stuff to European providers (and 100% of the critical parts).

I'm a bit torn about this. On one hand, I really think viable alternatives to Android/iOS are now more necessary than ever, and I'm eager to explore this OS. On the other hand, I'm not in the mood to buy new hardware (right now) just to try it out.

Nevertheless, I hope they succeed.

On: Ask HN: Who uses open LLMs and coding assistants locally? Share setup and laptop

[dethos]

Ollama, Continue.dev extension for editor/IDE, and Open-WebUI. My hardware is a bit dated, so I only use this setup for some smaller open models.

On the laptop, I don't use any local models. Not powerful enough.

Works like a charm. Powerful when needed. Thanks, KDE, looking forward to the next 29 years.

On: Perplexity offers to buy Google Chrome for $34.5B

I couldn't disagree more. The problems of Google effectively controlling the “open web” take time to become evident but are starting to show.

I have no issues with them continuing to participate, but not with the level of control they have at the moment.

To be honest, still awful.
