Wary of US Surveillance? Try These European Alternatives to Big Tech
(proton.me)
How we use the internet is largely shaped by a handful of US-based tech giants — Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta in particular. While they may make life more convenient, that convenience comes at a cost: your privacy. Their apps collect vast amounts of personal data, using it to refine algorithms, target ads, and — when required — even share that data with governments and law enforcement.

OxiCloud – lightweight alternative to Nextcloud file sharing (Rust)
(github.com/DioCrafts)
I built OxiCloud because I wanted a simpler, faster file storage solution than existing options. After struggling with NextCloud's performance on my home server, I decided to create something that prioritizes speed and simplicity while still being robust enough for daily use.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Vector DB?
(ycombinator.com)
A while back I was looking for a vector database that would work across Windows / Mac / Linux platforms. Some of the options required specific processors like Intel. I am curious if there are any alternatives to a Vector DB that can run cross platform and are easy to setup?

Alternatives to US Tech Platforms
(coryd.dev)
With the US rapidly devolving into a failed state with the endorsement (both full-throated and tepid) of many tech leaders, I’d urge you to reconsider your use of any tech platforms and tools offered by companies based here.

Ask HN: Firefox may be selling our data. Can you recommend an alternative?
(ycombinator.com)
Firefox just made a change their TOS copy that implies that they may begin selling our data [^1]. I'm a web developer– which means I need access to browser tools, and the 1Password extension. Are there privacy-focused forks of Firefox or an alternative browser you can recommend?

Ask HN: What do you run instead of Datadog?
(ycombinator.com)
Datadog has turned into an ever loving piece of shit. I am sick of their sales team grabbing us by the ankles and "Accidentally" charging for services we don't use. Now, this morning they changed something with their AWS integration that is causing 10X the API calls against our accounts (and thus, 10X guardduty costs on our end analyzing those API requests).

Ask HN: How to ditch Big Tech for secure, privacy-focused alternatives?
(ycombinator.com)
I’m trying to move away from Big Tech in my personal life (i.e. Google, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, X, etc). However, finding a user-friendly, privacy-conscious ecosystem that covers essentials like email, messaging, documents, cloud storage, messaging, etc. hasn’t been straightforward.
