I was considering trying and moving things up to Hetzner - -it turns out there are reasons why it is so cheap:

It may occasionally just wipe out your entire business infrastructure, permanently, with no one or nothing to resort for.

Won't be touching this unless I hear they offered a multi-hundred-thousand dollar compensation for the error to Kwix in short notice.

@kiwix@mastodon.social @Hetzner_Online@social.cologne yahhhh, maybe about 9 months ago, someone falsely reported our instance for CSAM, resulting in hetzner taking it down immediately. it took a community effort and lots of twitter posts at them before they reversed course, despite our appeals

(we switched to another provider within a week cuz... yikes)

we did get some nice emojis out of the whole thing though: ​:hetznered:​ ​:hetzner_friend:​

i highly highly dont recommend them

@kiwix @Hetzner_Online From what I've seen over the years is that you're not the first having that experience with Hetzner..

@kiwix@mastodon.social Hello and welcome to the #Fediverse, no matter what software you use to get in 😉

@kiwix welcome home :-)

@kiwix Glad to see your account here! Reminds me I need to update my Wiki and Khan Academy backups 😁

@kiwix when the end is near at least they can use their spare time to educate themselves

@kiwix
Being able to store all of that useful info locally on your machine is just great, especially helpful in situations where you might not have access to the internet, or even just for archival purposes this is a great tool 😃

@kiwix 😆

@kiwix Can’t ever not boost!
