  4. Six years after Schrems II, most SMEs using mainstream SaaS have US transfers, Indian sub-processors, AI services running inference somewhere they can't name — and no documented Transfer Impact Assessment for any of it.
    Schrems III is pending at the CJEU. The organisations doing TIAs now will barely notice the ruling. The ones relying on DPF certification won't.

  6. Most ROPAs I see are spreadsheets. Most of those spreadsheets are wrong.
    Not because the DPO is sloppy — because the format guarantees drift. A new SaaS tool gets adopted, someone forgets to email the privacy team, and three months later the "Record of Processing Activities" describes a company that no longer exists.
    Then the supervisory authority asks for it.
    I wrote a guide on what a ROPA actually needs to be (structured, linked, generated from your real data map — not a flat table somebody updates when they remember). It covers what Article 30 requires, why the <250-employee exemption almost never applies in practice, and what to look for when evaluating a tool.
    If your ROPA lives in a spreadsheet right now, this is for you.

  7. Bij verduurzamen vraagt bijna iedereen wat het bespaart en wat het oplevert. Qua geld bedoelen ze dan. Maar heb je dan wel de juiste drijfveer? We willen toch een mooiere en gezondere wereld? Die druk je (nog) niet uit in geld. De wereld gaat stuk door het huidige systeem. Dan moet je verbetertrajecten niet per se willen toetsen aan datzelfde kapotte systeem. Wij helpen je je IT duurzamer, eenvoudiger en vriendelijker te maken. #locaverdi #duurzaam #it

  10. Wij maken gebruik van een wachtwoordmanager. (Zou je ook moeten doen!) Hiervoor gebruikten we een open source systeem met een goede reputatie. Alleen wel servers in de USA. Daar hebben we verandering in gebracht. Simpeler is vaak beter en veiliger. Daarom gebruiken we nu KeePassXC. Dat past het best bij onze wijze van gebruik. #wachtwoordmanager #locaverdi #passwordmanager #keepassxc #keepass

  11. Go Europe! Een nieuwe stap in het gebruik van meer Europese diensten. We hebben al onze LetsEncrypt SSL-certificaten (die gebruik je om veilig verbinding te maken met een website, https) vervangen door certificaten van Actalis. Dit werkt ook prima samen met certbot, en is ook gratis, maar dan wel Europees. #letsencrypt #europa #actalis #certbot #locaverdi

  12. Do you have surveillance cameras? A network-attached surveillance camera can consume a sizeable amount of energy. It's not just the camera but also the NAS or NVR for storage, software for image analysis, and network equipment that's loaded continuously because of the recorded streams. Simple tip to reduce power consumption: just store the event recordings on an SD card in the camera unit. It has downsides, but it's very efficient. #energyefficient #nas #surveillance #frugalcomputing #locaverdi

  13. En nu is ons initiatief moveyourdata.eu/index-nl.html ook in het Nederlands beschikbaar! Start vandaag nog om je data en diensten weg te halen bij bigtechbedrijven en verhuis deze naar open source, lokale en Europese alternatieven. Omdat je zelf de baas wilt zijn over jouw gegevens. #moveyourdata #locaverdi

  14. CDNs vs. Simple Servers: What’s Right for You?

    Running a website or app? Do you rely on a Content Delivery Network like Cloudflare, or do you serve clients mostly within your country/region? For many SMEs, a basic web server is all you need. No extra complexity, no downtime risks, just smooth, fast performance.

    How many times have you seen a CDN fail?

  16. Today we had a tricky replacement. We ditched OpenAI/ChatGPT. Why? Because we don't want to have any business with a rogue state. The alternative we choose is Mistral AI with Ollama and Open WebUI. We run this on an Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano Super development kit. The specific model we use is ministral-3:3b. Sure, it's not up to par with the latest GPT model. But it suits us. It is a very energy-efficient solution to run AI like this. #openai #chatgpt #mistral #locaverdi #nvidia #ollama #openwebui

  19. Next application to replace: Apple Notes. We replaced this with Joplin. We are ditching all USA-based services due to the political situation. Do you join us? #notes #locaverdi #joplin

  20. A new day gives a new opportunity to ditch another US company. Today we replaced Firefox Sync with Floccus. Why? Firefox is getting a strong AI focus. And that is not what we need in a browser. Also, Firefox Sync is a US based service and therefore no longer safe and sound to use. #floccus #firefox #locaverdi

  22. Today we replaced our website contact form. We moved from Jotform to Survio. Moving away from US companies to EU companies. #survio #eu #locaverdi

  24. We tested the idle power consumption of the Raspberry Pi 5 with a 128GB Sandisk SD-card and #raspios, the #radxa Rock Pi-S 256MB with a 32GB Sandisk SD-card and #armbian, and the #radxa Zero 3E with a 32GB Sandisk SD-card and Armbian. All while being connected to an Ethernet power. Measurements were taken with a 0.1 Ohm current measurement shunt and a Rohde&Schwarz RTC1002 oscilloscope. Results:
    RPI5 2.94W
    RockPiS 0.371W
    Zero3E 1.22W

  25. At #locaverdi, we believe that #IT needs to be put on an energy diet. Our world does not need more computational power, or #AI. Conserving energy and resources is vital to a healthy and liveable planet. #efficiency should be a main focus point in #developing #software and #hardware. #frugalcomputing. Do more with less energy and resources. Just that.
