Ok. #IT nerds of the fediverse. Let's do a thought experiment. It's Monday morning, the boss comes in. We need to move all out stuff off US clouds onto our own hardware. He's bought us a small data centre (or larger server room). It's empty, just a raised floor, a power panel on the wall, Aircon, and two MAN generators outside. He wants you to buy everything to make this facility work. The catch. It has to all come from European companies. Everything.

What do you buy from who?
