I use to be a huge Hetzner fan but it doesn't appear they have launch any new hardware in the past 3-years. One of the reasons why I loved Hetzner so much is that you could always get the latest generation hardware ... but unless I have missed it - it seems like their hardware hasn't been refreshed in awhile. (Still really like them, just wish they had dedicated servers in the US as well) EDIT: maybe what I use in ha…

Is there a lot of new enterprise server hardware coming out lately? Consumer stuff has been stagnant with all the ram cost issues so I could see servers running into similar issues.

I tried to sign up to Hetzner services once. They wanted photo of my government ID, and almost all my personal data, full dossier. So I abstained.

None of OVH, GCP, AWS, Azure wanted so much data about me, and I run my services in all of them successfully. Not in Hetzner.

Sorry Hetzner, you're too data-hungry. Nothing you say justifies that.

I don't think any VPS provider has come close to raising their prices this much. There's absolutely not enough people flocking to Hetzner to justify this.

OVH just raised their VPS prices by about 30%. They shifted right (VPS-1 2026 is now VPS-2 2027) and increased prices. Crazy stuff

OVH still seems cheaper here for smallest VPS (what's needed to host a personal website), especially when you consider that you have to pay your IPv4 1.7 € with Hetzner.

For the exact same specs (CX23 vs VPS-1 2027), price is 6 vs 4.5 € and you can get a 15% discount on OVH if you order a full year.

I was signing up for Hetzner years ago and it asked me to upload my passport to use their service. At that same time, I was reading about this story about WireCard. It was like Stripe for Europe and worth billions. Turns out it was run by a Russian spy network and was all a sham. That video alleged Germany’s bureaucracy is filled with Russian agents and this can be traced back to the East/West Berlin days. To save a…

If they are spies, they are taking their time to use the data for sure. I run servers with them since 2009 or so. That's 17 years.

I feel like the whole password thing was meant as a protection against SPAM or using servers for nefarious purposes as they know who's really behind every server.

Although, I can also see how real criminals would work around that easily by supplying fake identities. Sounds like one of those "why we can't have nice things". Well, at least the password I gave them 17 years ago has expired since.

SK Hynix just said they want to double wafer production by 2031.

I mean, I want to double the the number of billions of dollars I have by 2031, doesn't mean I will. (actually I have 0 billion and double 0 billion is still 0 billion, so unlike them I'll accomplish that goal).

They already ordered Hanmi equipment and started construction at Yongin Mega Fab. Sounds pretty serious to me.

> the free investor money does run out I've been saying the same thing, but that's why they made the move to IPO, no?

And then? There are only so many trillion dollar IPOs out there. And then what next?

Then it's not their problem and the company can fail.

This is just the reality of hardware costs now. RAM and Disk are scarce, prices have skyrocketed. I wonder how much leverage the hyperscalers like AWS/GCP/Azure have on their own supply chain to keep costs level in their clouds.

Why would their keep their costs down. Get business hooked on their product and then ramp up the price.

They price hiked my existing CCX13 from 16€ to 43€ - that is a 2.6x price increase (!). Technically they didn't increase it yet, for as long as I don't order a new one or rescale (up/down) they let me use the old price. This is insane (it is a cloud server, with 2 dedicated cores and 8 GB RAM).
