How to help EU digital sovereignty (and get out of the US at the same time)? (lemmy.zip)

I am very much onboard with the idea of the EU breaking free of the US grip on data and the internet. I also very much want to get out of the US, but I’m trying to figure out how. I have extensive experience in infrastructure, networking, Datacenter’s, Linux, etc. and I’m sure that there are companies in the EU that are needing those skills. I haven’t had much luck with general job boards (unless I’m looking at the wrong ones).

So Lemmings, does anyone know of any good resources so I can help put my skill to use and get out of here while I’m at it?

Maybe look for governments trying to switch from Microsoft to open source alternatives for their digital infrastructures.

Not all of the European ones are trying to do that, but the ones that are, probably need skilled people to do so.
