Bitten by a shark, or snagged on a russian submarine? Whichever the case, I just ran an ansible deployment over our cluster that's spread over their Frankfurt and Helsinki datacenters, and I didn't notice any difference. I guess that's to be expected, their line between those datacenters is just an optimization, the internet is still functioning as it always is and maybe Hetzner gets a slightly larger egress bill fro…

> Bitten by a shark, or snagged on a russian submarine? In all likelihood much less interesting, probably snagged in a fishing net or hit by an anchor.

This isn't Hetzner's own cable, and it's not just "any" cable - it's an Alcatel-Lucent + Cinia + EU project, with 150 terabits worth of bandwidth. It's a high profile target, but it's just as likely that it's just an anchor accident.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

As Hetzner is a co-investor in the cable, it is partially their cable.

So do they own a solid chunk of it somewhere, or like a really long pie-slice sliver down the whole thing?
