@randahl In Germany, there is also Digital Independence Day, an initiative to help others regaining control over their digital infrastructure https://di.day/
It is partially relying on European Alternatives, but also has lots of other hints

[randahl@mastodon.social]

@genodeftest wunderbar!

@Npars01 @randahl We also had high expectations on ban on ICE (not that ICE) vehicles, but it went away just like that.

@randahl @Npars01 Please take every encouragement.
