    I do volunteer work at a youth organization in the Netherlands. Recently smoking has become a lot more popular. Nearly all kids between 18 and 25 smoke here. There is also a very c…

    Thanks, I'll give them a call tomorrow. The website only lists a dutch phone number, which is convenient, I'm dutch as well.

    Not yet. I also thought about reaching out to the embassy, but have not had the time for it yet.

    My site has nothing to do with football though. And Allot seems to be running the DNS server that your ISP uses so they are directly responsible for the block.

    I have my own dedicated IP range. And they specifically blocked my domain name, not the addresses. I don't know what the reason is. I have been trying to find out since the start o…

    Creator of pixeldrain here. Italy has been doing this for a very long time. They never notified me of any such material being present on my site. I have a lot of measures in place …

    Creator of pixeldrain here. I have no idea why my site is blocked in Spain, but it's a long running issue. I actually never discovered who was responsible for the blockade, until I…

    It is technically possible, and there is a proposal to standardize it, but it has been in draft state for nearly 10 years https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0046.html

    The "refuses ro remove it" part is not even necessary. I run a large cloud storage site, and like all cloud storage it sees some abuse. I have set up a few processes to detect and …

    Energy consumption is directly correlated to heat production. The capacity of a datacenter is basically its capacity to keep servers cool. That's why datacenter capacity is measure…

    My monthly Hetzner bill is around €15000. I have been a customer at Hetzner for nearly 10 years. In the beginning I served traffic directly from Hetzner servers, but 4 years ago I …

    I have not used Hetzner to serve user facing traffic for many years. Users never connect directly to the storage servers, it's all going through custom caching nodes hosted by a di…

    I'm currently on vacation with bad cell reception. I tried calling but it didn't come through. Will try again when I get back. Hetzner does not host user facing servers for me. It'…

    I will, and when it's done it will definitely appear on this forum. But in the meantime I have to focus on cleaning this mess up.

    So, I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but this announcement has extremely suspicious timing. You see, I host a cloud storage service on Hetzner. I have 12 PETABYTES…
