Hey tech friends. I'm wondering about alternatives to stripe, specifically to stripe connect for split payouts. Anybody have any opinions about these European alternatives? https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/stripe

I see others like these but many of them have U.S. headquarters. https://tipalti.com/resources/learn/stripe-competitors-and-alternatives/

AWS Deleted all data despite redundancy, backup, dead man’s switch. This is why you need to keep all your data offline. The 3-2-1 backup rule is a good data protection strategy that states that you kee 3 copies of your data, storing them on 2 different types of storage media, and keeping 1 copy offsite under your bed or office. Don't trust your hosting company's backup service.

I cannot verify this article. But how lucky we are at @hostsharing running a cooperative community cloud for 25 years. Being the owner of the cooperative company with a service you can talk to.

As I said I can't verify the article, but, man, why make the same error twice?

"My clients—representing over $400k/month in AWS billing—have already agreed to migrate to Oracle OCI, Azure, and Google Cloud."

Questions for #fediverse#SysAdmin folk who run #prometheus and #grafana on multiple #aws accounts:

Do you use a single Prometheus server or do you have one for each account?

How do you handle auto scaling EC2 servers which could change IPs at any time?

Is it possible for servers to push rather than get pulled from?

Please share any setups that could be relevant and boost far & wide!

Thanks in advance!! ❤️❤️❤️

My son's workplace is in need of a short-term Linux/AWS expert of 8+ years (for bureaucratic reasons) to do a migration of an Ubuntu instance from one workspace to another, basically as soon as possible.

I recently switched my #gotosocial storage to local from #aws and maybe a coincidence, but I'm getting "Unprocessable Entity: error processing media" errors now when trying to post images.

Anybody know why this would be?

💭 Goodbye AWS: How We Kept ISO 27001, Slashed Costs by 90%

｢ It was clear that American cloud providers couldn’t fully shield us from US government jurisdiction. Under the CLOUD Act and FISA, our European customer data was potentially exposed, regardless of the server’s physical location. This undermined our GDPR promises ｣

｢ In a nod to European customers' growing mistrust of American hyperscalers, Amazon Web Services says it is establishing a new organization in the region "backed by strong technical controls, sovereign assurances, and legal protections."｣
