Denmark’s Ministry of Digital Government is phasing out its use of Microsoft Office.. to switch to open source alternatives like LibreOffice instead.

Why? Because relying too heavily on a US tech giant for your nation’s digital infrastructure is starting to feel a bit... well, risky.

Denmark's relationship with the US is under strain, following Donald Trump's clearly stated ambition to seize control of Greenland, and recent reports of increased spying by the States on Greenland and Denmark.

@lukasp in a vm, or look at LXC containers. Installing docker onto proxmox could cause some potential issues, but really its just losing all the benefits of proxmox and might aswell go debian with docker as another option…

The EU wants to stop feeding your DNS queries to Silicon Valley.

DNS4EU is the European Commission’s attempt to build a sovereign DNS resolver infrastructure that doesn’t route all your web lookups through the likes of Google, or Cloudflare.

DNS4EU aims to bring DNS resolution under EU oversight and privacy rules.

So, if you want 🇪🇺-backed ad-blocking and child protection, you may want to give it a try.

Check out DNS4EU here: joindns4.eu/for-public

@mathzy confusing, I would assume anything that can run on nothing would be equally tied or not to google as anything that can run on graphene?

The train I'm in just crossed the border from Spain into France. No announcement and I expect no one else noticed the moment. Freedom to disregard borders is a huge boon to those who have it. Many don't and many more are losing it.
