EU states looking for MS Teams/O365 alternatives 32 by pkz | 15 comments on Hacker News. A group of agencies in Sweden have set up a project to find cloud providers who can provide an alternative to MS Teams/O365 following the Schrems2 decision [1]. Similar work is ongoing in other EU countries. Will more US software providers find partners in the EU to run cloud services in a way that doesn't involve risk of handing over customer data under FISA 702? There is definitely a huge need for compliant cloud solutions in the EU. [1]: https://ift.tt/3gJp8JC

Why does validating a user require 14000 files? 17 by yashg | 3 comments on Hacker News. I thought of using Sign in with Google instead of creating my own authentication for a new project I am building. I don't want my users to remember yet another password. I myself have been using Google to sign into many of the new services these days. So I went about implementing Google Identity SDK. Easy to setup. but when it comes to validating the Google ID token on the server side, it requires Google Client SDK. The php SDK I am using has 14800 files totaling 37 MB! I just want to validate a user. I tried removing unnecessary services from composer.json. Still 14000+ files. I just want to validate a user. This just reinforces my general dislike of frameworks. Just so much of unnecessary fluff that your project if never going to use. I just want to validate a user. It shouldn't require including 14000 files in my project.
