Looks like I'd be spoiled for choice if I was just looking to get away from US-based companies and would settle my data in Europe, but ideally it'd be as local as possible (setting up a microPC under a desk at my girlfriend's place may be the option I go with but a commercial operation with a financial plan - which is roughly the same longevity-inducing logic I use to choose Mastodon servers - would be preferable).

So the best I've spotted so far is Contabo, who will give me a Nextcloud-preconfigured VPS with 150gb of space for about AU$7.50/month, and they have a presence in Sydney: https://contabo.com/en-us/nextcloud-hosting/ I've literally never heard of these guys before, and all the cheap VPS places going all in on AI stuff gives me a bit of the ick, but otherwise that's actually a really attractive option so far.

@timixretroplays@digipres.club me and my wife uses Filen, which is a German company, to stay in the EU. I think the price is OK from my own research, but since I live in the EU I didn't look elsewhere. https://filen.io/r/fc82d270bbab80b6429c22058212944c
