We have move most of our processing jobs from AWS to Hetzner. We use Cloudfleet as control plane so we will even be spreading our workloads across multiple European providers. About to move some of our long term S3 storage to Scaleway. Not only is it safer, we are saving a ridiculous amount of money.

Bolt is Estonian. Their app lets you order and pay for taxis, e-bikes and probably scooters as well. I use them regularly.

The problem with traditional taxis is that after booking them, you have no indication of when they will show up and along the way, you mostly have no information about the cost. Same thing if you get a taxi on the street without pre booking. You have no idea of the resulting price.

None of these chains are present in Norway. Lidl tried years ago and gave up. We only have some Norwegian chains here.

Rest now you madman! Hope you got to ride the crazy train across Styx!

The Wilfa Svart grinders are really good. Wilfa is a Norwegian company and the Svart line of coffee making appliances is developed in cooperation with former world champion barista Tim Wendelboe.

There were some really good. Nokia Symbian phones and some not so good ones. An issue back then was that not all apps were available for all phones. They would probably have fixed this if it hadn’t been for Elop killing them.

Caran d'Ache are Swiss.. Their pens are really nice. Leuchtturm 1917 (German) and Moleskin (Italian) make good notebooks (the paper kind)

Most of the providers are targeting web hosting and general fairly constant load. We have bursts load and use queue based scaling in AWS. Does anyone know of any service that can do that?

They have several sauces with varying strength.

Sounds like this could be software related if they use the same software in UK and Spain.

Mine is close to ten years old and still going strong. We have one at work as well. It is heavily used to feed two Wilfa Svart coffee makers multiple times a day without issues.

Sorry, that was autocorrect. Fixed now

We do, but in an odd way. One of the Norwegian chains use Spar as a brand for some of their stores.

Nothing Ear (open): https://no.nothing.tech/products/ear-open

I haven’t tried it, but I have the regular Nothing Ear and I’m really satisfied with them.

The Finish GPU hosting company should be on this list.

Yeah, your nick gives you away, it I didn’t think about that when writing that 😁

Looks like somethings that could always be worth a try, but as they show; it works well with some models in some applications and in other cases it doesn’t. Maybe it is actually a nudge of a model to something it hasn’t seen during initial training.

I started using paper again this year after many years with only digital notes. It helps me think.
