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.

12th of December 2006 here.

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

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.

I’m guessing this varies between countries. The thing is where I live, they don’t always show up in time and if they show up, you have to pay anyway

Sorry, that was autocorrect. Fixed now

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.

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

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

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.

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

The Finish GPU hosting company should be on this list.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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

Norgesgruppen lista SPAR as one of their brands/concepts. Unfortunately, their Norwegian / English toggle doesn’t work, but this is the Norwegian version: https://www.norgesgruppen.no/om-oss/om-oss-hjem/

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