The European Central Bank selected OVHcloud and Scaleway for the digital euro payment infrastructure. Only EU-headquartered cloud providers were eligible. AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud excluded entirely. Sovereignty as procurement policy.

The ECB selected OVHcloud and Scaleway for digital euro infrastructure, excluding US cloud providers entirely.

@gahms just to be clear, whether its 5 or 35 is not really meaningful to the services i run on that. what is meaningful is that they bring/force you into the latter. Dark patterns and I don’t want to work with companies doing such 🤷‍♀️
Sole reason #scaleway is a non option/recommendation for me anymore.
@simonbs I'm running my website and stuff (like irc.noze.io) on a tiny VM on #Scaleway for some 10+ years. Worked well for me (they originally attracted me w/ cheap $3/m 4-core ARM based dedicated servers). I use their "S3" for SwiftPM Catalog.
But recently they killed my tiny-VM tier ($5/m) and apparently the only "automatic" transition was to a $35/m instance. I wasn't amused. Probably going to switch away over that. To Hetzner I suppose.

【避免在 Tor 中继中使用 OVH、Hetzner 或 Scaleway】https://worldofmatthew.com/post/tor-relay-unsafe

感觉文章有一些牵强了,但是主要论点“Tor 网络过度集中在少数 AS 上会降低匿名性”是真的,文章主要论调是“在极少数网络上拥有如此多的 Tor 中继,可能会给 Tor 用户带来各种问题”:

  • 易受政府压力影响
  • 间谍机构更容易监视 Tor 用户
  • 供应商禁止 Tor 中继的风险,导致容量大幅流失
  • #Tor #hetzner #ovh #scaleway #relay

    cool, when you build a machine at #scaleway, you can see the emissions your compute generates.

    we should see this sort of data on labels.

    @moin I went to #scaleway. I wanted a European solution.

    Had some big outage because of… Scaleway ?
    The egress for my K3S cluster is hosted there and was for some reason unavailable

    I will have to track the logs, but not being able to login the main console to hard reboot the instance didn’t help

    Time to bring that multi ingress dns rotating k8s operator project out of the forgejo limbo

    #homelab #selfhosted #selfhosting #k3s #k8s #kubernetes #cloud #scaleway #outage #dns #ingress #egree

    Hurrah! Just built a #Scaleway CPU instance from scratch and configured it with our #Ansible tools. Pleased with that. A few kinks to iron out, but we're pretty close now. 😎
