As the title says, I'm an IT Engineer, working for a Belgian company, and I'm going to spend a week in your beautiful capital.

I am originally from Mexico City, so a little bit of chaos is normal for me, but this would be my first time in North Africa.

I am seeing many posts and videos about how beautiful Tunisia is. And most of the comments from travellers I find, they praise the kindness of people and the delicious food.

So I come here to your subreddit asking for advice/suggestions

- What food/dish do I absolutely must try?
- Suppose I'll have some free hours in the afternoon, evening, What can I visit in Tunis?
- What do I need to avoid at all costs? Or do?
- How to say t

Hey guys, a couple of weeks ago I posted this rant https://www.reddit.com/r/brussels/comments/1uybg9p/failed_driving_exam_today_is_the_process_fair/

Well now I am over with this whole ordeal, and since it put me through a lot of stress, the way I usually like to cope with the aftermath is by making a blog post of the process.

Here you go for if helps anyone (personal blog, no ads)

There is a tl:dr; at the end with all the steps I took, hope it's useful for any of you !

Like the title says. I just launched https://movetoeu.cloud

A way for companies looking to kickstart their journey or simply move their existing into an European cloud.

My name is Oscar, I’m a seasoned cloud engineer, based in Brussels and I‘ve been hearing from many different EU companies (including where I work) how they wish they could reduce their dependency on US tech giants. I also have been reading all the papers that the EU Commission publishes about EU + Cloud

But from my trench (cloud infrastructure) nothing really much is happening…

That’s why I built https://movetoeu.cloud/

It’s a code repository with instructions, so an

Family man, 2 small kids, living in Brussel, BE. I don’t really see myself driving more than 3-4 times a week and no more than 1hr on those days.

I would occasionally do a round trip around Europe but that would be every 6 to 12 months.

Im not interested in speed or anything special, im even decided on a second hand car. And if all this would be my first EV

The problem is that there are many models with different settings that I don’t really understand or recognise.

Pure, Pro, Pro Performance etc

What would you do in my case ?

no commercial promotion as I'm not getting paid for this, It's a gift for the community. One I'm using

I keep hearing that EU cloud sovereignty is at risk, but I don't see many people actually doing something about it.

If you're running Kubernetes and curious about starting your EU cloud journey, or looking to move away from your current provider, this might be useful.

I built and open-sourced a project that provisions the world's leading container orchestrator (Kubernetes) on an EU cloud provider, using Infrastructure as Code. From zero to running kubectl commands in about an hour.

And for the ones curious about how it

I guess this is more of a rant than anything.

As the title says, I failed the first attempt for the practical exam in Anderlecht today, after waiting for 3+ months, and I'm quite certain that the monitor knew he was going to fail me even before starting.

Context: M 35y/o, I've driven for the last ~20y of my life.

I know how a vehicle operates
I am fully aware of the universally accepted laws of mobility (I've driven in many countries)
I am usually the designated driver, and I have even taught some people how to drive.

I recently moved to Belgium, and of course, I have a driving licence, It's official and from Mexico, but according to Belgian law, it's not valid here.

So I am

A bit specific for cloud infrastructure providers but my EU company has most of it applications hosted on Amazon AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service. It’s been working well.

Yesterday the CEO announced that any US based provider is to be replaced by the next best EU based alternative. I fully agree and support this but I want to make it as seamless as possible

Of course that applies to me and my team, the DevOps/Cloud Infra.

I will be the responsible of the migration project so I started looking at OVH and Scaleway for their managed solutions

Anyone on “the same boat”? Anyone else that did this? Would you care to share what was your experience?

Thank you !

I know very well Terraform, Linux, Git, Kubernetes but obviously my income is capped to the amount of hours I work.

How, other than courses, would you productize this knowledge?

Thanks
