I was looking for an alternative for PayPal and quickly stumbled upon Wero. But unfortunately Wero isn't yet acceppted by all countries, banks and online shops. So I built werotracker.eu to keep track of the adoption of Wero.

➡️ Link: https://werotracker.eu/

This dashboard has the following features:

📈 Show adoption stats

🔍 Search for banks and online shops

✅ Filter for countries and support status (supported/announced/unsupported)

💸 See individual payment features (P2P, eCommerce, POS), not every Wero implementation is equal

📱 App availability

I hope this dashboard is helpful to you 😀

The site as well as the data is open-source under the Apache 2.0 License. You can find the source-code here: https://github.com/sharknoon/wero-tracker

If you see an error or your bank is missing, please give us a hint or contribute directly: https://github.com/sharknoon/wero-tracker?tab=readme-ov-file#contribution

Thank you and have fun 🎉

The European Central Bank (ECB) has unveiled proposed motifs for the next generation of Euro banknotes, centered on European nature and culture — including rivers, birds, and abstract landscapes — replacing the current architectural themes.

Public submissions during the consultation phase have included proposals such as Miguel de Cervantes, Marie Curie, and Leonardo da Vinci, reflecting citizen interest in honoring cultural icons. The ECB has not endorsed any individual portraits, emphasizing pan-European symbolism and inclusivity.

I built a free, secure Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service based in Poland (EU) as an alternative to US providers that respects user privacy and offers modern security standards for free.

I wanted to share a project I've been developing. I realized that most popular Dynamic DNS providers (like No-IP or Dyn) are US-based, often push aggressive ads, or require monthly "confirmations" to keep free accounts active.

Being a developer from Poland, I decided to build a European alternative that respects user privacy and offers modern security standards for free.

The service is called LDNS.pl. It helps you access your home lab, game servers, NAS, or security cameras remotely by mapping your dynamic IP to a static hostname.

Why is it a good EU alternative?

🇪🇺 EU-Based: Hosted and developed in Poland, subject to EU data protection standards.

🔒 Security First: Unlike many old providers, my service supports 2FA and Passkeys (Biometrics/FIDO2) for account protection.

🚀 Modern Tech: Full support for both IPv4 and IPv6 (Dual Stack).

⚙️ Automation: Includes an API for integration (Curl, Mikrotik, Ubiquiti, etc.).

✅ Hassle-free: No ads and no annoying "confirm your account every 30 days" emails.

🔐 SSL Support: Built-in support for Let's Encrypt SSL certificates (DNS-01 challenge).

It is completely free to use. I built it to help the community and provide a stable, secure tool for fellow Europeans who prefer local alternatives for their infrastructure.>

Quantum technologies promise to revolutionise Europe’s economy and security, but ‘the current EU quantum technology programme is fragmented. To help quantum companies scale at home whilst preserving Europe’s openness, the EU must provide immediate support to the quantum sector and simultaneously develop a new regulatory framework geared towards industrial application.

The EuroStack Initiative has launched a non-profit foundation — the EuroStack Initiative Foundation e.V. — to advance European digital sovereignty. Announced 30 October, it follows a March 2025 open letter urging EU institutions to prioritize homegrown tech over U.S.-based infrastructure. The foundation is backed by companies including Nextcloud, Proton, Ecosia, Evroc, and IONOS.

Operating as a volunteer, non-lobby movement, the foundation aims to influence EU policy and public procurement to favor interoperable, open-source, and privacy-first European solutions. Its focus is on strengthening digital autonomy — especially for SMEs — by scaling sovereign cloud, AI, and critical infrastructure, reducing dependency on hyperscale foreign providers.

European arrivals to the U.S. in the first three quarters of 2025 totaled approximately 11.8 million, representing a 3.1% decline compared to the same period in 2024. This data, sourced from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s I-92 air travel statistics, reflects year-to-date trends but does not yet include full-year 2025 figures, which are typically published with a 3–6 month delay after the calendar year ends.

Mantas de Grazalema is a Spanish artisanal brand based in Grazalema (Cádiz, Spain), specializing in high-quality wool blankets and textiles made with traditional craftsmanship.

Their products — including blankets, rugs, cushions, and bedding — are crafted from natural Merino wool, reflecting local heritage and sustainable production. Perfect for those seeking authentic European craftsmanship.

The EU has approved a €90 billion interest-free loan to Ukraine to support its military and economic needs through 2026–2027 — funded via joint EU borrowing, not frozen Russian assets, after Hungary blocked the latter plan.

The loan aims to keep Ukraine’s state functioning and boost its defense industrial base, covering roughly two-thirds of its IMF-estimated funding gap. Ukraine welcomed the deal, though it falls short of the more ambitious asset-repurposing mechanism originally proposed.

Airbus is preparing to migrate its mission-critical applications to a sovereign European cloud, launching a tender worth over €50 million. The move reflects growing corporate concern over data control under U.S. laws like the CLOUD Act — and highlights the urgent need for mature, secure European alternatives, even as Airbus admits the odds of finding a suitable provider are only 80/20.

This effort is part of a broader industry push led by Airbus, Dassault Systèmes, OVHcloud, and others, who’ve called on the EU to create a sovereign infrastructure fund. Their goal: ensure Europe controls its digital future — from AI to cloud hardware — and reduces reliance on foreign tech giants.
