Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Fucking Hetzner:
https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/112161019007879382
i am deeply disappointed and annoyed
also billing cycle is 1 April lolollllllll
also where does one find a webhost that's any better? hetzner are great otherwise (a proper company, not a personal project), I used to strongly recommend them.
also they hate crypto
AWS: you will pay. also, shit works. also, you get customer service.
Azure: you're running Windows, you hate yourself, probably both
Google: you have transcended beyond such earthly requirements as "customer service" or "functions that don't get deprecated in three years"
Hetzner: you run a herd of carefully groomed pets and not cattle
OVH: wot is dis "uptime" ov which u speek
Oracle: lol
Some Guy LLC: I would rather sign up with Oracle
I guess there's still DigitalOcean and Linode, the Azure and AWS of Some Guy LLC, respectively.
I've been using DigitalOcean for years as a personal VPS box, and I've had no complaints. Not sure how well they'd scale (in terms of cost) for a site like this.
this is one part of the problem, yeah - pretty much all the VPS offerings are extremely painful cost-wise if you need chonky hosts
rootservers (or things off the serverbidding market) are way better bang for buck (i.e. my all-the-things gremlin box is dual-4TB 64GB i7-something, at ~38eur/mo)
I really, really hope they sort this shit out
