No, IA is a US non-profit, that status does not apply for EU non-profit donations as tax deductible. There also isnt really an european branch of the IA to donate to, to support the infra/core mission. The other IA Locations(Canada, EU, Swiss) are mostly idependent(probably to avoid any issues with the others, if one does have governance/legal issues), however they share the same mission in aquiring data to save and working with libraries.

actually, I think this time it is the other way around, Azure is more the solution than the problem.

Github in the past ran on their own Hardware. That is fine, if your load is predictable and nto changing rapidly. However, the evolution of the past few months/years has shown, that the previous assumptions about growth are now outdated and scaling that capacity on your own metal is not that easy. Hardware has lead times of many weeks, especially in the current situation, datacenter capacity is even longer and more difficult, especially right now.

Choosing not to deal with scaling the hardware is a valid choice in this situation. Yes, Azure is a bunch of servers held together with glue, duct tape and a lot of hope, but I think, the github hardware is not much better at the moment.

Brave is based on Chromium and inherits basically all compability, that this brings.

Firefox with Gecko is a different engine entirely and that sometimes causes compatibility issues or different behaviour, that websites have to account for.

The efficiency is a thing of the past, an mainly when dealing with manufacturing, which we were really good at.

The world got faster, but german industries and politics never got the memo.

What you see here is decentralisation working. The issue is with the operator of the de TLD, and as such only that TLD is affected. DNS is not decentralised in such a way, that multiple organisations run the infrastructure of a TLD, those are always run by a single entity.(.com and .net are operated by Verisign)

So what the issue is, that the operator has, does not change the impact.

That is a bit of a unfair comparison. The Hetzner and DO instances are shared hosting, you are using dedicated ressources.

Using a Netcup VPS 1000 G12 is more comparable.

> We also ran the full dataset of 263 URLs (254 phishing, 9 confirmed legitimate) through Muninn's automatic scan. This is the scan that runs on every page you visit without any action on your part. On its own, the automatic scan correctly identified 238 of the 254 phishing sites and only incorrectly flagged 6 legitimate pages. [...] The tradeoff is that it flagged all 9 of the legitimate sites in our dataset as suspicious, ...

Am I missing something or is that a 66%/100% False Positive Rate on legitimate Sites?

If GSB would have that ratio, it would be absolute unusable.. So comparing these two is absolutely wrong...

Amazon egress changes depends on the region of the s3 data location.

Bandwith cost highly depends on the scale and target network. Cloudflare has a good blogpost on relative bandwith cost: https://blog.cloudflare.com/bandwidth-costs-around-the-world...

To put numbers to the relativity, for a somewhat smaller datacenter in Central Europe with a 100Gbit/s connection, the running Cost of transit is somewhere around 0.00004€ per GB, on a theoretically fully sustained connection(not realistic, also with no redundancy or hardware). Peering is basically free(after initial buildout) with around 3k€ per 100Gbit/s (https://www.ams-ix.net/ams/pricing). This all excludes cost of investment for initial buildout and hardware. On a scale on amazons level this becomes even cheaper, since operating your own network is cheaper than buying transit.

Hetzner charges 1,19€ per TB, amazon 90$(on the first 10 TB). So amazon probably doesnt really care about the price differences per region and went with a mixed calculation, since their margins are so absurdly huge.

also, major parts of the cost are in hardware and staffing/development, of which amazon has way more, due to the demands of SDN.

More Background, why this is in fact important: Gazprom Germania is also a critical part of the german Gas-Market, because it owns the largest gas-Storage with 1/5 of total capacity in Germany, major Gas Pipelines and Platforms for trading the ressource. This is both through Sub-companies Wingas and Astora.

It also has contracts with Gazprom in Russia with guaranteed Prices and Deliveries.

You seem to mix up Spotify and Shopify. The Announcement is made by Spotify, you talk about Shopify. But interestingly, your point still stands, as Spotify is also a big Google Cloud customer.

In better companies, where legal blocks marketing from pulling stuff like that, this is not necesarry.

..just dont go to Germany. We are not very advanced in that regard.

Of course huge amounts of stores offer contactless paying, but generally Cash is still dominant around here. Change is slow, and currently, Cash is still king, especially with small or street merchants.

All big public DNS Resolvers are US-based. Google, Cloudflare, OpenDNS(Cisco). Quad9 is Swiss-based, so technicaly not EU-based.

nope, nothing. it was something like 45 tb

correction, 1,17€/TB

nah, wrong. If you go over the allowed bandwith, you can get either limited to 10Mbit/s or pay 1,37€ per TB. In comparison, this is pretty cheap, but that is about waht you pay, when you buy transit. Source: https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Traffic/en

online.net kicked us out for using too much of an unmetered network connection.
