Guess Mr. Phuc dat Bich from Hanoi needn't bother applying. Wonder what's the algorithm they use to know a "real name"
Maybe if it does not sound funny in German, it's a real name?

But you keep insisting that there are rules to protect you. That's not true at all. Yes, there are rules, but you always have to prove that you are right/not guilty. In Germany the system is that you are guilty until proven innocent. You always have to prove that there's a regulation that proves you're right/not guilty, not the other way around. And you can't just ignore some clauses just because you think (or some l…
> In Germany the system is that you are guilty until proven innocent. This is total nonsense.

https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/infrastructure/detail... Google Cloud accidentally wiped an Australian super[annuation] (pension) fund's entire cloud deployment earlier this year. I think that if you really want durable backups, they have to be reducible to object storage and put in someone else's cloud.
Thank you to share that blog post. That blog post specifically mentioned that no data was lost. I am confused by your comment about durable backups. Deeper question: Do people think on-prem backups are more reliable than cloud? I would say for 95% of orgs: no.

Some people just don't respond, period
So? If that policy ends up damaging their reputation it is noones fault but their own.
But replying makes the story last longer.
And there's the saying, it's never confirmed until it's denied.
In the end, they did respond.

iirc Hetzner almost never responds to these posts. On HN or reddit.
Their loss. I'm not touching them with a ten foot pole unless they acknowledge what went wrong and what they will do to make sure they don't fuck up like this again.

I don't believe a lot of this is required. OS level security? So, "apt update && apt upgrade", then? I mean, what else are you doing, writing patches for the kernel? Checking every line of code that runs? Are you aware of how effective SELinux and systemd containers are? Just a simple firewall at the OS level? Maybe even just using Tailscale (or the open source Headscale) to introduce zero trust access capabilities.…
>"apt update && apt upgrade", Across 10k-100k+ servers, all running services and needing to orchestrate restarting across the whole fleet, while providing 0 downtime or impact to thousands of clients with terabytes of data being processed and analyzed at any given time. Sure whats so hard about changing a tire? Well try to do it on an 18-wheeler while its driving down the highway without any impact to its speed. > Ar…
If you "need" that many servers (and aren't Google), you've built your systems massively wrong.
Not the first time this is happening: - Ask HN: Hetzner banned me with no explanation. What can I do? (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32318524) - Hetzner didn't even provide a detailed info on why they deactivated my account (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40781617)
And why would anyone need anything but code in monospace? Please don't do that.

Hi there, We are a privately owned company, and do not have shareholders. --Katie, Hetzner Online
Nitpicking. You still have people who own the company (technically also shareholders...) and want profit.
Unless they are a "GmbH & Co KG"?
