So do they


So do they


Here’s the email I got from them:
Dear xxx,
This mail is to inform you about an unfortunate, but necessary price change that we must make.
There have been drastic price increases in various areas in the IT branch recently. That is why, unfortunately, we must also increase the prices of our products.
The costs to operate our infrastructure and to buy new hardware have both increased dramatically. Therefore, our price adjustment will affect both your existing products and new orders.
The underlying causes of the increased costs are, among others, the exploding demand for AI-related computing power and for cloud services. In addition, raw material prices and production costs have also generally risen for manufacturers. The costs for RAM and SSDs especially have risen by a large amount. For example, the cost for DRAM memory has increased up to 500% since September 2025. And according to market researchers like TrendForce, this price trend will continue throughout the year.
We have genuinely tried hard to optimize our costs and to prevent increasing our prices for as long as possible. But we can no longer compensate for the strain that it has placed on our operations. We want to continue to deliver quality products that meet both our standards and your expectations, so we must take this step.
The price changes will take effect on 1 April 2026 for both new orders and existing products. For orders placed before 1 April 2026, but delivered after 1 April 2026, the adjusted prices will apply.
The following existing products, listed under the customer number specified in the subject line, are affected by the price increase as follows.
Product previous price New price as of 1 April 2026 Server Auction € 43.56 € 44.87 all prices incl. 21% vat
We know that price changes are always a challenge for everyone. However, we believe that our products’ prices and conditions still have a competitive price-to-performance ratio.
We have prepared a list of all new prices for you on Hetzner Docs at https://docs.hetzner.com/general/infrastructure-and-availability/price-adjustment. Starting on 1 April 2026, the new prices will also be on our website.
If you do not wish to continue your contract, you can cancel the products within the regular cancellation periods via your administration interface.
We hope that you will be able to understand and accept our decision, and that we are sorry that we have to change our prices.
If you have any questions, we will be happy to help. Please log onto your account and go to “Support” in the menu and create a support request.
Kind regards,
Hetzner Online


1.31 for me!


Did you prompt it in English, or on Chinese? This is just a next-token-predictor, and it will largely use its English training data for its English output prediction.
This is not surprising. Nor is it indicative of, well, anything.


It’s because people get mislead by the “agent”, assuming there’s something actually intelligent at the other end, able to act like they would, just… Automated.


…weshalb die so was hier implemtieren werden, nicht wahr?
Oder wird’s am Ende ein dreistelliger Pin.


Das Problem ist, dass die meisten Banking-Apps Google Services (und Integrity Check, und und und) “benötigen” und es einem daher unmöglich gemacht wird, Wero/Banking-Apps zu benutzen, ohne von Google gefangen zu bleiben.


What a clown. In what world do you require an LLM to check for duplicate pictures??
I mean, good on him for realizing that LLMs are dogshit. But still.


Irgendwas irgendwas Paradox der Toleranz?


Shouldn’t it be the other way round? If I’m a guest at someones house, IMO I should go out of my way to do as the host does.


You can, without root even! Take a look at uad-ng (universal android debloater). Comes with a community-curated list which sorts APKs into 5 tiers from “recommended to uninstall” to “yeah don’t, your phone needs this to boot”. Apps disabled through this do not come back after updates.
Removed 140+ apps from my Xiaomi, 120+ from my GFs Samsung S24, and 90+ from my brothers Motorola Edge something.


Called their support. They were super nice, and then told me that if I still had access to my 2fa, I could simply add a second mail in my account without needing access to the first one.
Made total sense when stopping to think about it for a second 😄
Not sure. You mean something like r/NuclearRevenge and Co?


Oh, yeah. Wasn’t actually worried of the mails themselves (multiple devices which have all of them, plus a daily borgbackup offsite), it was just knowing that I NEED to fix this, now, because email is unfortunately kinda important.
Fun conundrum: had my personal mail as the only contact at my server provider. Requested a KVM for rescue. “Thank you for your request! We’ll email you the link to your KVM access!” Gahhh.


Same. But also, I’ll never forget the adrenaline when I actually legitimately fucked up once. Was a sweaty 2 hours of recovery.
We really, really do. I miss r/PettyRevenge and cousins, plus r/TalesFromTechSupport.


Die Epstein Files sind mittlerweile die Ablenkung. Egal wie schlimm was auch immer in dem Moment passiert ist, die Hälfte der oppositionell ausgerichteten Leute schreit “Epstein Files”!
Jeder den’s interessiert weiß, dass die Files vernichtend für Trump sind / sein werden. Sie zu veröffentlichen ändert daran gar nichts. Seine Basis wird ihn glauben wenn er schreit “Hoax”.


And yet, in non-English speaking countries, virtually every kid is taught English to a level that’s at least “roughly business”.
I also reject your premise of 8 hours / day for a year; how about 1-2 hours / day for 4-8 years.
In the case of English, school kids would get more like 2-4hrs per week and be perfectly fluent after a couple of years, btw.


Mein feuchter Traum ist ein Verbot nicht-chronologischer Feeds auf Social-Media-Plattformen, die unter den DMA fallen
It absolutely is.
There’s also a lot of different variations of fetishes involving piss. For the “get pissed on / in / drink it” part of the fetish, I have a hunch that piss sits right on the boundary of gross/humiliating, but not actually harmful.
Well.
For me at least.
