This article leaves out that the same proposal would completely undermine the GDPR, massively reducing data protection and selling out EU citizen’s data to big tech.

I‘d love to have a browser based cookie solution. They should have implemented it like that in the first place. But not at the cost of my privacy and the ownership over my data.

For now this is just a proposal by the commission, so it has a long way to go before becoming law. But it‘s really exhausting having to fight those ridiculous ideas time and time again.

The Steam Deck uses the capacitive thumb stick sensors to completely disable the trackpads as soon as the stick above the respective pad is touched. This works very well, so I think they‘ll implement the same thing here.

I‘d probably go with a VPS. It probably won‘t cost more than 10$/month, maybe even less, depending on how much heavy usage your Nextcloud instance requires. And you won‘t have to worry about keeping your hardware and network running, which pretty much always takes up more time than expected.

Some web hosters (I‘ve had very good experiences with Hetzner) charge an hourly rate and allow you to preconfigure VPSes with software like Nextcloud. So unless you have specific needs, you could just spin up an instance, check if it suits your needs and, if not, only pay a few cents.
