Caran d'Ache are Swiss.. Their pens are really nice. Leuchtturm 1917 (German) and Moleskin (Italian) make good notebooks (the paper kind)

European made coffee grinder? in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

[–] AncientSoul@reddthat.com 7 points 1 week ago

The Wilfa Svart grinders are really good. Wilfa is a Norwegian company and the Svart line of coffee making appliances is developed in cooperation with former world champion barista Tim Wendelboe.

Unfortunately, they are not there yet, but let's hope someday they will in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Most of the providers are targeting web hosting and general fairly constant load. We have bursts load and use queue based scaling in AWS. Does anyone know of any service that can do that?

Norgesgruppen lista SPAR as one of their brands/concepts. Unfortunately, their Norwegian / English toggle doesn’t work, but this is the Norwegian version: https://www.norgesgruppen.no/om-oss/om-oss-hjem/

We do, but in an odd way. One of the Norwegian chains use Spar as a brand for some of their stores.

None of these chains are present in Norway. Lidl tried years ago and gave up. We only have some Norwegian chains here.

DataCrunch is based in Finland and provides long time rental of bare metal servers, short time use of instances similar to EC2 and serverless container hosting. The latter is particularly interesting since they come with autoscaling and queue support out of the box. We have been using Fargate, but then you can’t go completely serverless with GPUs and the queue is a separate entity. We deployed our first model using a vLLM docker image in days without having used the system before. We will probably moving existing model hosting from AWS to DataCrunch as well.
