@fediuser76 @first_last_whatever I should mention that these are API only, without a Chat interface. But they work with self-hosted OpenWebUI and LibreChat instances.
@fediuser76 @first_last_whatever Nice, did not know them. Alternatives with no flat fees per month are Requesty AI (UK, but with EU focus), and Eden AI (french). Here you pay around 5% on top of model provider API prices. Probably a bit cheaper for low volume or irregular usage. Provider and model coverage is extensive. Most other European API router services I found are enterprise-oriented.

🚨 New Video: Virtue is Inconvenient - The Nitrokey 3 Review

In my last video, I crowned the YubiKey 5 as the "King of Keys" but it has a fatal flaw. It is proprietary. For those of us who believe in digital sovereignty and the right to audit our own hardware, blind trust is not an option.

Then there is Nitrokey 3A NFC. It promises open-source firmware, transparent design, and code written in memory safe Rust. But does "open" actually mean "good?" Today, we look at whether the moral high ground is worth the inconvenience, why the Android experience might be a deal breaker, and who should actually buy this device.

Heads up fedi: Hetzner is going to hike up their prices this year, by up to 30%. This also applies to existing customers.

@msvana If you didn't deploy Matomo already, you might find Rybbit worth a look. It has nice features such as user session replays. Also completely cookie free. Anyway, kudos for making the switches, nice!

I keep seeing a lot of writers and youtubers still using #AI images to illustrate #solarpunk - even Aeon in their latest article did so.

Could I ask you to help spread https://storyseedlibrary.org/ around?

If you know a #sustainability / #climate creator who might want to talk about the movement, could you share the Library with them?

All SSL #art is human-made, Creative Commons (some even for commercial use) and translated to multiple languages!

@agentultra I'd do a robots.txt first, then use Nginx AI blocklists, restrict traffic from sources from which you don't expect much genuine traffic (certain ASN IP ranges, even some countries), and if not enough, use tools such as Anubis or Iodine. That should get down AI traffic a lot, fast. Good luck!
@BrilliantantTurd4361 Germany-based filen.io might be worth a look. Or a Hetzner-managed Nextcloud.
