Europe gets serious about cutting the digital umbilical cord with Uncle Sam’s big tech.

While Brussels champions policy initiatives and American tech giants market their own ‘sovereign’ solutions, a handful of public authorities in Austria, Germany, and France, plus the International Criminal Court in The Hague, are taking concrete steps to regain control over their IT.

Good recognition of #EuroStack in Tagesspiegel as one of the developments that shaped 2025. Europe has the talent, the capabilities and the capital: 2026 will go “long on Europe” in digital. In great company. @tspbackground.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy

I've been doing some experiments with Scaleway Serverless services, OpenWebUI and serverless AI inference providers (Nscale, Nebius) for a more personal AI service, while betting on EU cloud/tech providers with, at least, a bit more commitment to sustainability and renewable energy sources.

I published a small sandbox project I've used to test the Docker container configuration here: https://github.com/pedrosanta/openwebui-docker-serverless

But no one ever said it would be. Where do all these strawmen and hyperscaler astroturfing come from? Honestly. I will need to write on #EuroStack as all the takes on here are so bad.

@okwithmydecay among many timeless phrases... "personal consumption choices are not moral; you don't change the world by shopping hard" - in response to Aaron Bastani's apology for using an i-phone during the section on the post American internet. #eurostack gets a shout here too.

@nixCraft it might (not) be the best phone since sliced 🍞, but as an #EU member state national I believe this #jollaphone initiative deserves our support and investment. Let's get this first batch built 🙌🏼 #sailfishos #eurostack
