Unattended import would be downright impossible, as most financial institutions require 2FA (usually SMS, gross) to login. Plaid is often given the privilege to bypass this, either through special APIs or through very long lived session tokens.
But I wouldn't say it's a niche if you look at the size of the EU even if it "hasn't being doing that well" it's still a lot of purchasing power
And especially in recent years there has been an increasing push away from US cloud providers and this somewhat evening out the playing field of "newcomers" compared to Amazone, MS, Google.
Also because HN is quite US/SV focused and differences in business culture especially compared to SV about e.g. businesses doing blog post and similar you don't really see much at all from this marked on HN. But that doesn't mean it's not a big marked.

Title: Open Telekom Cloud – the secure cloud made in Europe.

Software wise they where anyway OpenStack based, which is a trusteable open source project Huawei is a major contributor to but other major contributors include AT&T, Canonical, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Intel, Red Hat, IBM. This made moving away from Huawei quite viable.
Hardware wise they also moved away from Huawei, but I'm not sure if this apply to all data-centers of them. But AFIK at least some data centers are Huawei free.
Or at least that is what they told some of their business partners which wouldn't have used them if they still used Huawei hardware in the data center that specific bussiness partner uses AFIK.
I've been bothering them about this since Steam Deck first launched, if it could actually pass thru full USB-C PD it would be insanely useful. Portable gaming device that can be converted into a fully functional laptop easily (with a second screen!) is a long time dream of mine. But it can't do the ~40w charging the Deck needs. Also the touchpad is complete garbage as it was designed for use with phones.
Sadly, NexDock doesn't design their own products and has little influence over engineering decisions of their partners. They're just slapping their logo on it and reselling it. There's a dozen other brands selling the exact same product on Alibaba/Taobao.
These make great KVMs for homelab solutions. You'll need a VGA to HDMI adapter, but I am very thankful I no longer have to lug a monitor/keyboard/mouse into my closet when a server without IPMI won't boot.
Oh wow, I was actually worried about this - right now I have a small USB-powered display and a TrackPoint keyboard and was wondering about whether I could get a laptop shell that would just combine the two, but all I can find are either these phone docks or heavy server rack KVMs. What's your setup like for this?
The NexDock came with an HDMI (output) to mini-HDMI (input) cable, and a USB-B to USB-C cable (for mouse/keyboard), which is all you need to connect to anything modern. I bought an $8 VGA to HDMI adapter for use with my older enterprise equipment without HDMI. I just keep all of them next to my rack, and connect the HDMI and USB as needed. The NexDock has a basic OSD that let's you switch between USB-C or HDMI video inputs.
I already owned a NexDock so this is just what I've stuck with. These days I'd probably recommend a PiKVM with a networked KVM switch, if you have like 4+ physical servers it can be cheaper + give networked access. With added complexity and failure points.
A friend of mine has been working this year on getting the CV1/Rift S running without the Oculus app/Meta account, which also means continued support for these two discontinued headsets. I don't think she has publicly released it yet, but good progress is being made.
PD2 is absolutely amazing. Season 9 is estimated to be released in a few weeks to a month. If any of you are D2 fans, you simply must try it. I've purchased several copies of D2R and it pales in comparison.
Do note that we are currently in a crafting league (a non-standard gameplay mode). If you try the game, you'll need to do it in single player and downgrade to s8[0], or wait until s9 is released.
Gonna go out on a limb and agree with the archive.is owner -- the reason he blocks it is bc cloudflare intentionally doesn't support edns client subnet. They cite privacy reasons, but it comes at the at the cost of performance -- most cdns use DNS based routing, so using cloudflare DNS means you connect to random server for a lot of websites. CloudFlare on the other hand uses anycast routing for their CDN, so they don't suffer at all.
I hate Google but my pihole is configured to use their DNS resolvers. Lesser of two evils.
It shouldn't be that bad, CloudFlare's anycast should direct you to a nearby resolver, and doing your GeoDNS on that resolver IP instead of ECS is probably not that much worse than doing it on the actual client IP. Both approaches aren't great at picking an ideal CDN node, GeoIP is notoriously unreliable, and it tells you nothing about network topology.
Breaking DNS entirely is much worse behaviour, especially because GeoDNS itself is arguably not in the spirit of DNS which is distributing a consistent database, not making it up on the fly based on the client's info. The archive.is admin is being ridiculous, the least they could do is block anyone not using a resolver supporting ECS to be consistent, but no they have something personal against Cloudflare.
The site is down so I can't read the full post, but going off of what's been said in this thread, I generally agree w you. This doesn't stop your casual Plex user from using OpenSubtitles. Viewers all download their subtitles from their own IP, and can authenticate/pay if they want more. It does punish pirate streaming websites from taking thousands of subtitles per day while illegally publishing content.
It's because the cup is insulated to hold in boiling water long enough to properly cook the noodles. The "cover" instruction is again to retain heat. It's probably? microwave safe if you completely remove the cover. But college dorm rooms don't allow microwaves, they do allow electric kettles.
