        Keep in mind Kagi is US-American though.

    Does abandoning steaming/live services and starting with self-hosting count?

    I now wear sweaters and polo shirts fully sourced from Europe, including the cotton. They’re really nice, too, the quality is amazing.

      People are also growing cotton in Italy now, so maybe one day we could have cotton that’s not only spun in Europe but also grown there. Still, lyocell and flax/hemp would probably be easier.

      It does. As in; each other week for example. With start/end date or number of occurrences. Or do you mean something different?

    Got my old PC from 2011 working again, had loads of RAM at the time and runs pretty well now. Put it in the loft and installed proxmox on it. Am now using remote-backups.com from Germany as a remote backup :) for a load of services.

    Subscribed to inlinestyle.it and have been able to actually use on a daily basis a good 40/50% of the services included in the subscription. Primarily email, personal website, photos, docs and notes. But I also enjoy some PeerTube channels there from time to time.

      I just checked their services and while it seems great, the volumes are a bit small, aren’t they? I host Immich myself and my collection uses about 90GB. Are the 10 given there enough for you?

        I have started by importing my photos from 2020 onward and those consumed 3Gb, but I tend to curate my library so I don’t have duplicates etc. And I don’t record videos, but only photos. My whole collection of photos on Google Photos was 11GB before I stopped using it.

        I think you can get more space with invite codes etc when you invite friends, but I never tried using them

    Magic Pages (managed hosting service for Ghost CMS). Ghost is amazing. I thought bloging is dead. It’s not. It’s intuitive, scalable, natively suppors mailing AND fedi. MP makes it even better.

    I signed up as a proof of concept, that this is a valid alternative. But man, did it delivered. It’s my first choice now.
