Speaking of #EuropeanAlternatives, is there any for #TransactionalMail ? Not email providers, not newsletter providers, but those third parties that offer you a mail server to send email notifications and etc from your website.

In my case, it's for #Discourse instances. I'm still using #Mailgun which, well, may or maybe not count as European given its owner #Sinch, but also I'd like to migrate to a more fair and social option if possible (also not to just a brand cover with AWS underneath).

Podcast-Empfehlung: Peer Heinlein im Gespräch

Unser Geschäftsführer Peer Heinlein war kürzlich zu Gast bei Ralf Hersel im Podcast von GNU/Linux.ch. In der Folge gibt er spannende Einblicke in die Entstehung und Motivation hinter Projekten wie @mailbox_org, @OpenTalkMeeting und OpenCloud, aber auch zur digitalen Souveränität.

Wir bedanken uns herzlich für die Einladung und das angenehme Gespräch!

Donations to The Debugger are temporarily down, which in the case of #Ghost rely on #Stripe by default. Now, Stripe decided to cancel The Debugger's account, just right after we published our article on #privacy . Coincidence? Probably yes. But we're looking for #onlinepayment alternatives out there, so if you have any suggestions (especially stuff that is not just Stripe or PayPal under the hood) they'll be much appreciated!

The following article provides data on the growth of interest in European clouds since the start of the year.

Main points:

- Opencloud: 62% increase in users since January
- Magic Earth: Over 250% growth in six weeks
- Nextcloud: Three times more inquiries
- Ionos has experienced an increased demand, particularly from the security and defence sectors
- Leitzcloud: Customers are seeking enhanced security

Is there more data about other companies?

It'd be great to find out how much of an impact this movement is actually having. :)

Our latest European shiny alternative is Pixii 🇫🇷, a French camera manufacturer. 📷

The company was founded in 2017 by David Barth, an entrepreneur who worked on Linux development for Ubuntu for almost 10 years, helping to develop and make Ubuntu more accessible.

He couldn't find the photo camera he wanted, so he decided to make one.

Pixii cameras are designed and made in Besançon, a city famous for its watchmaking and precision engineering. The final assembly of the camera happens there, but the parts that make up the camera come from different places. The mechanical parts are made in the Vosges region of France, while the electronic components are sourced from Germany and China.

The company's graphical designer, Isabelle Colas, has experience from the luxury and watchmaking industries, and she is responsible for the #Pixii cameras' elegant design. Her work has won the company awards like the Red Dot Design Award.

Pixii is competing with Leica 🇩🇪, but it works with #Leica's lenses. It's aimed both at #photography fans and the "Instagram generation". Despite challenges in increasing production, Barth's approach has attracted international attention and financial backing, including investments from people with experience in the industry.
