🇪🇺 EU weighs restricting use of U.S. cloud platforms to process sensitive government data, sources tell CNBC
｢ Proposals would not prohibit overseas companies’ cloud platforms from government contracts entirely, but limit their use in processing sensitive data at public sector organizations, depending on the level of sensitivity, they added. The officials said that talks are ongoing and yet to be finalized ｣

The European Commission is considering rules that would restrict EU member governments from using US cloud providers to process sensitive data including financial, judicial and health records. The restrictions would form part of the Tech Sovereignty Package scheduled for May 27, which includes the Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) and Chips Act 2.0. Only public-sector use is in scope.

On 25 Feb 2026, the UAE announced the world's first sovereign financial cloud. The CEO: "Finance runs on digital infrastructure; hence it must be sovereign."
Four days later, drones hit AWS ME-CENTRAL-1. Two AZs down simultaneously. 109 services disrupted. 37 still dark two months later.
They understood the problem. The implementation gap killed them anyway.

European distrust of US tech firms hit 84% in new polling, with German distrust at 91% - near the statistical ceiling. The numbers reflect six years of legal concerns about the CLOUD Act, not just political sentiment. One sentence in the upcoming EU Cloud and AI Development Act may determine whether sovereignty means control or just physical presence on EU soil. https://www.implicator.ai/europes-distrust-of-american-tech-isnt-a-trump-mood-its-written-in-us-law/ #EUtech #CloudSovereignty #DigitalPolicy

I’ve been so deep in prepping the launch of my rebranded cloud services this past week that I completely missed most of the news… and wow.
How is it even possible that the U.S. is sliding into full-on authoritarianism—and it’s just happening, business as usual? Shutting down independent news outlets, canceling TV shows that don’t align, and no real uproar?
It’s surreal.
Anyway, back to debugging… I guess. 😶🌫️

👨💻 Over the years, I’ve learned a lot from trial, error, and a few coffee-fueled rabbit holes while setting up all my self-hosted services. ☕⚙️
Now I’m wondering… would anyone be interested if I started sharing tutorials?
Could be:
📝 Blog posts
🎥 Video walk-throughs
📦 Docker setups
🛠️ Reverse proxy tricks, identity management, and more
Everything from “click here” beginner guides to advanced stuff like SSO with Authentik or federated Matrix!
Let me know what you’d like to see — and if there’s enough interest, I’ll start posting! 🙌
