The amount of monthly contributions has doubled in the last four years alone, from ~7k to ~14k commits per month. Why did I take six years as a reference? Because 2020 is the year nixpkgs really started to pick up traction, and the growth has been almost linear ever since.

Your argument only holds if I were to say "it grew to its current amount of monthly contributions in 2020 and then stayed constant, without growing any further."

"we've also functioned without one for ~20 years"

I'm sorry to say that this is a highly ignorant reaction to the situation. Nixpkgs was nowhere the size it is now in terms of contributors and packages, the growth in the past six years was enormous.

38°C in Mannheim today. Might go above 40°C on Saturday, which never happened here before.

First time I read this interpreation regarding CC-BY-NC model weights, are there any sources to back it?

Actually rechecking the terms of the GPU server, it states:

> Cancellation period: 30 days to the end of the month

To me that indicates it's not possible to order the server for only a few hours.

Thanks for the link, seems like a major flaw to combine hourly pricing with a setup fee. :')

That's incorrect, dedicated Hetzner servers do not have hourly pricing. That only applies to Hetzner Cloud.
