Buy European

I am not the author.

I found this blog to have both a short summary of the reasons as well as a pretty complete overview of the options for protecting against this specific threat model. I can just send this to people and they'll understand the why and the how.

I saw the discussion the other day about the "Buy European" website having Google analytics, so it reminded me of this. Plausible uses no cookies (therefore no cookie prompt) and can be entirely self-hosted for free if you don't want to use their paid SaaS (supposedly EU hosted, but I haven't tried).

I get that a lot of people on the Fediverse are anti-analytics, but if you're running a website for a business, no matter how big or small, you likely need some form of analytics and I think it's nicer if you can avoid the (admittedly powerful) Google suite for this.

Oh and it's FOSS too. It uses AGPL, so you may want to read up on whether or not that "infects" your own code with AGPL.

A few days ago someone on the reddit sub posted a link to literal.club - however, I can't for the life of me get my goodreads shelves into it - I tried many times. In a last ditch effort, I created an account on thestorygraph.com to see if I could transform my goodreads CSV-export to a format that literal.club would read.

I did, but the import seems to have failed.

This led me to investigate thestorygraph.com and found out that it was created by a sole developer-girl based in London to be a "free" goodreads-alternative.

It has a paid tier (40€/year) but not sure what it ads.

I then added a few books on literal.club to see how that worked, and I must say that I like the info on thestorygraph.com better.

I hope this is of use to you! :)

I'm looking for a replacement for Bandcamp (I prefer to buy records, even digitally, I don't like streaming).

Although Bandcamp seem particularly fair to musicians, I already didn't like Tencent owning a part of it (through Epic).

I've already bought albums on Qobuz and 7digital in the past years, but I wonder why I haven't seen mentions of 7digital in the "buy european" initiative.

Qobuz is french and, to my knowledge, 7digital is british. Is there something shady about 7digital I don't know about ? I thought they would be bigger / have more recognition than Qobuz (french inferiority complex). Does the CEO have a boner for Trump ? Or some shady business with Russia ?

I want to replace Atlassian's Trello, I am therefore looking for a todo list or simple project planning tool:

• Supports simple Kanban boards
• Lists or boards can be shared with friends and family
• App for Android and Desktop
• Servers and company located in Europe

Any recommendations?

Germans do know it and balcony solar systems are booming here. They are small solar systems with 1-2 modules that you simply plug into an outlet. And that's it. You produce up to 800W of electricity, reduce your power bill and they are dirt cheap - german deals pages sometimes have them for under 200€.

They are easy to install (just place them somewhere where the sun is shining and bolt/strap them down so that they are stormproof) and plug them into an outlet. You will pay less for electricity, it helps in the fight against climate change and has the neat effect that you buy less fossil fuels from Russia, the USA, Saudi-Arabia, Katar and other nice countries.

Your local regulations might vary and you might have to discuss this with your landlord. The regulations in Germany are quite relaxed, you basically have a right to use them even in rental properties.

And if you have the space: Think bigger and buy a bigger solar system for your roof. They rock and it's awesome to produce your own electricity.

Normal is a chain of shops from Denmark selling personal care and make up products at good prices. Also cleaning products, snacks and beverages.

Currently have shops in the Nordics (Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway), Netherlands, France, Spain and Portugal. Most of the brands are from Denmark but also from Germany, United Kingdom and other countries. Here they have several Spanish brands but I suppose they will have brands from the country the shop is opened.

I'm not sure about the results.

ard.de (German national TV) is a wild mix of EU and US

france.tv too

polish national TV is proudly EU

swedish national TV is mixed

and swedish government is even more mixed

Can this be right?
