> Startpage uses Google's index.

If they have enough users/make enough money, they'll make their own. Ecosia and Qwant (both european search engines) are working together to make their own index.

In any case, even if a european is a proxy for an american service, you need to prove that there is a market for an european equivalent for change to happen.

TIL that Sourcehut is or has been moving to the EU/Netherlands, thanks!

They have moved to Netherlands. They were planning, but Murphy knocked (kicked?) on the door as a massive DDOS, so they expedited the move, a lot.

For git there's also Codeberg

I've used it for a few years and it's been stable and without issue. builds.sr.ht is the best CI that I've ever used. I think the only time it has been down has been due to DDOS.

Would I run the git server of a multi-national bank on it? Probably not. A standard SAAS? Yeah if my team felt it was important to use EU companies.

Otherwise you could also self-host with a VM, then you can use gitea or gitolite with systemd oneshot services.

"There might be an option in the future if there are sufficient users" is a quite different milestone compared to fully switching away from US-based services.
