European IT/software development professionals, how realistic is it to expect a European Cloud company being able to offer a similar level of service and cost to AWS and Azure? in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Hetzner and OVH are bigplayers, maybe they'll wake up.

You can read more about it on the Wikipedia page

*Serverless is a misnomer in the sense that servers are still used by cloud service providers to execute code for developers. *

Ah, marketing then, should've known.

What's a "serverless" provider?
Hetzner offers way more than just a VPS. Wouldn't their Storage Boxes fit the bill?

I use joker.com (de), but what do you mean by private?
I think these from Iceland fit the bill, but i haven't used them: orange and flokinet.

Can I create/spin LXC with virt-manager or something similar? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] 0x0@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

virt-manager supports, at least, kvm and lxc/incus, so you should be fine.

I don’t actually get the joke with clbuttic, though.

The up/down voting ratio on your comment is quite enlightening with regards to bias (or pride).

SIBS came up with virtual credit cards since at least 2009 - those are Visa or Mastercard cards, mind you, although that's defined by the debit card that it's associated with (so defined by the bank).

You can pay your bills in Portuguese ATMs, buy tickets, recharge your travel pass, withdraw money without a card, etc... makes most other systems seem like the stoneage.

Portugal has it’s own network, Multibanco

That's the customer-facing ATM network, i'm not so sure SIBS's infrastructure doesn't rely on Via/Mastercard, even if they provide SPEA facilities.

GPS tracker recommendations (programming.dev)
 

What do you use? I'm looking for as many of the following as possible:

  • included battery, preferably rechargeable from the motorcycle's own battery, meaning
  • negligible idle consumption
  • EU coverage, supporting 3-4 constellations
  • 4G+, i provide the e/SIM (i.e. no included plan unless it's grrrreat and cheap af)
  • small form factor (for a naked bike)
  • privacy-respecting app (preferably not relying on AWS, Google Maps, etc) and/or website
  • motion-detection/geofencing
  • cheap of course

I had a cheap one from eBay but the chinese-quality app would sometimes lag hours behind - not useful for an eurotrip.

Has the AOSP project failed consumers? (www.xda-developers.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/17508868

When Google, along with a consortium of other companies, announced the open-source operating system we call Android way back in 2007, the world was paying attention. The iPhone had launched the same year, and the entire mobile space was wary of the rush of excitement around the admittedly revolutionary device. AOSP (Android Open Source Project) was born, and within a few years Android swallowed up market share with phones of all shapes and sizes from manufacturers all over the globe. Android eventually found its way into TVs, fridges, washing machines, cars, and the in-flight entertainment system of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Researchers: Weak Security Defaults Enabled Squarespace Domains Hijacks (krebsonsecurity.com)
 

At least a dozen organizations with domain names at domain registrar Squarespace saw their websites hijacked last week. Squarespace bought all assets of Google Domains a year ago, but many customers still haven’t set up their new accounts. Experts say malicious hackers learned they could commandeer any migrated Squarespace accounts that hadn’t yet been registered, merely by supplying an email address tied to an existing domain.

The NSA Has a Long-Lost Lecture by Adm. Grace Hopper (www.schneier.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/16750896

The NSA has a video recording of a 1982 lecture by Adm. Grace Hopper titled “Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People.” The agency is (so far) refusing to release it.

Basically, the recording is in an obscure video format. People at the NSA can’t easily watch it, so they can’t redact it. So they won’t do anything.
