In an email sent to customers today, Amazon said that Echo users will no longer be able to set their devices to process Alexa requests locally and, therefore, avoid sending voice recordings to Amazon’s cloud.

There is no #cloud, only other peoples' computers. As @pluralistic says "It’s funny because it’s true and the 'other people' in this case are rapacious, vertically integrated monopolies."

Now you can bypass the cloud w/ @privacysafe temporary encrypted files

So, I'm doing a bit research on #cloud providers in the #EU.

So far I've looked at:

• StackIT
• IONOS
• Scaleway
• Hetzner
• OVHCloud

Are there any others that I should look at. Do note that if I have to call them or fill in a contact form, I'm not interested.

Značku Hetzner budete pravděpodobně znát jako velkého německého poskytovatele serverových a cloudových služeb. Já jsem zatoužil vyzkoušet jejich klasický webhosting. Objednal jsem si nejvyšší tarif a pustil jsem se do testování. A kdy jste vy naposledy jste posílali kopii občanky pro zřízení hostingu? ;-)

New nightmares from Dan Davies for @bert_hubert , about

“the Lovecraftian horror of [European Banks’] IT outsourcing…

the Euro area banking system is highly dependent on server farms which might be physically located in Europe, but whose owners might ultimately answer to a foreign power.”
