    What are the non-US alternatives to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.? Boycotting the USA needs to include switching from these, and from Visa, MasterCard, etc. Otherwise even when we switch away from US services, underneath the surface the money and data are still finding their way to the USA.

      There are like a thousand different cloud providers. They provide exceptional services, even for better prices. Just google your local VM providers.

      For the Visa/Mastercard EU has instant bank wire transfers, all you need is an IBAN.

      The hardest switch is everything that is Windows-based IMHO. So much software is written for x86 Windows it’s not even funny.

        Many cloud providers are using Amazon or Google under the hood. They’re effectively resellers. But yes, I need to do more searching for those that have their own infrastructure.
