The very short version: it is madness to continue transferring the running of European societies and governments to American clouds. Not only is it a terrible idea given the kind of things the “King of America” keeps saying, the legal sophistry used to justify such transfers, like the nonsense letter the Dutch cabinet sent last week, has now been invalidated by Trump himself. And why are we doing this? Convenience.
Say someone uses a Droplet on Digital Ocean. What’s the best EU alternative?
Probably Hetzner. I’d still try for OVH as it’s separate from CLOUD-act risk (by running its ovh.us as a distinct org, so avoid them but use the rest in relative safety) and it may be cheaper/better given your particular needs and tolerance.
