This is such a far departure from where I was hoping the Internet would look like growing up. Makes me sad political borders are now viewed as a feature.
It's a big feature for users who value freedom of speech. It's laughable that a guy from the EU doesn't get it - their freedom of speech is shit.

#73>The CLOUD Act applies to all electronic communication service or remote computing service providers that operate in the U.S, whether those providers are established in the United States or another country.
Bravo Hetzner, no chance for servers with private data (for example European customers) on it anymore, Exoscale it will be then in the future.

#75Any info on what DC they use? So far they've run everything themselves which made them slower to expand but was much cheaper to run. If they now use other DC providers it would explain why they only offer the higher margin cloud servers there. But would be curious if anyone knows where the data center is physically located. With their other ones they're also quite open about it so I was surprised they didn't mention…

Had the same issue trying to open an IBM cloud account recently. After submitting my CC info the system told me to get in touch via email, and after contacting them they wanted two official documents (Driver’s License and Passport) to be submitted via email. Big nope from me.
Hetzner will actually refuse your order after you submit your documents with no valid reasons whatsoever. At a point, you just give up and ask your EU co-workers to spin up dedicated servers for you.

How is Tailscale, just another VPN provider, comparable to Hetzner and Starlink? I smell covert advertisement…
I’d put myself in the camp of zealous Tailscale customers. I’ve used wireguard for years and Tailscale solved every single complaint I had about Wireguard. Their ACL management could use a lot of polish but moving to them and paying for the service was the easiest decision to make after how well it worked. And the product has worked flawlessly for us. Not a paid advertisement. Just someone who never ever thinks about…
Really for years?

#79Cloud product site has been updated: https://www.hetzner.com/cloud
I changed my country on that page to US but all the prices still seem to be in euros? It would be great if they let me see more detail about the instance types without having to sign up for an account. I'm not sure if I want to try it out, and I'm lazy, so I probably just won't now.
