Because OVH has a subsidiary in Canada: "the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) issued a Production Order in April 2024 demanding subscriber and account data linked to four IP addresses on OVH servers in France, the UK, and Australia as part of a criminal investigation."

The #Fediverse can focus on praising what is good while also criticising what is bad. That's what makes us special, in my opinion. Other "social" networks use algorithms to hide the praise because only negativity brings traffic and ad click money. We are different. We can promote the good without risking being shadow-banned. Use that power. At least once a day. Deal? It takes some time to leave that pavlovian reflex of negativity behind. But at least try and you will enjoy the results :) 1/3

Ordered something online, not at Amazon. Immediately received 6 newsletters from that company. Had to look hard to find the place on their website where I can unsubscribe. I guess it'll take them a while to process that unsubscribe request. Le sigh. Safe travels, Pepe! image
Viele "Familienunternehmen", die sich bis heute gegen eine Aufarbeitung ihrer Beteiligung an der Naziherrschaft wehren, âffnen der gesichert rechtsextremen noAfD die Tür. Wo ist mein Überrascht Gesicht?
Upgraded my cute homelab [1] with a power meter that sits before the UPS. The whole thing, so 3x Lenovo Tiny PCs, a max 120W 10 port network switch with PoE, a Raspberry Pi 4B, the 4 port KVM switch (both PoE powered) and the 500VA UPS uses 50-55W when idle, up to 120-130W under load. I call that very reasonable :) [1]

As I experiment a lot with open source solutions, I am always in need of a bit of compute power to run stuff on. Nowadays, with containers and auto...

The new world order is China pumping up the global south with solar panels, cheap electric cars, infrastructure through BRICS, where Russia is merely a member by name, with no real influence. While the global west is in the final stages of falling apart. With Europe being able to become an important power and corrective, once we finally accept that Trumps USA is a lost cause. This is my personal opinion.
