Don’t use Kafka (or PostgreSQL ) as a job queue. Can we just stop forcing this?

Kafka is an amazing event streaming platform.

It's mind boggling how crypto people still trust hot wallets that run as fucking browser extensions.

I think with any database the solution is simply backups no? backups that preferably aren’t tied to the hosted solution at all.

They didn't terminate my contract though, they just nullrouted my server. They even had the audacity at the end of the month to send me a bill.

Do not host anything of importance on Hetzner. They'll gladly blackhole your server with zero recourse.

They also do it when their system incorrectly flags traffic. They're the Paypal of web hosting. Stay far, far away.

> Companies will very successfully have their contracts enforced

Hetzner turned off all access to my paid server due to a false-positive on their netscan/DDOS (literally it was tailscaled doing a netcheck) protection and equally incompetent technical support staff.

Can I sue them for breach of contract and subsequent damages? I moved all my hosting off Hetzner as a result, but I'm still very disappointed in their actions.
